Using Headphones

Sometimes headphones can capture the subtle difference between signals and
the surrounding noise that often occurs at night.  Be sure that the
headphones (not supplied) have a 1/8-inch plug.  Insert the plug into the
jack on the left of the receiver.  When you plug in the headphones, the
speaker is silenced.  You will find a wide selection of headphones at your
local RadioShack store.

Listening Safely

To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use headphones.

    Set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin listening.
    After you begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfortable level.

    Do not listen at extremely high volume levels.  Extended high volume
    listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.

    Once you set the volume, do not increase it.  Over time, your ears
    adapt to the volume level, so a volume level that does not cause
    discomfort might still damage your hearing.

Traffic Safety

Do not use headphones with your receiver when operating a motor vehicle or
riding a bicycle in or near traffic.  Doing so can create a traffic hazard
and could be illegal in some areas.

If you use headphones with your receiver while riding a bicycle, be very
careful.  Do not listen to a continuous broadcast.  Even though some
earphones/headphones let you hear some outside sounds when listening at
normal volume levels, they still can present a traffic hazard.
