Always check the volume level before making and receiving calls.
Listening to loudspeakers at high volumes may cause noise induced hearing loss. The longer the
exposure, the higher the risk.
Always use Sepura approved audio accessories with your radio. The use of non-approved audio
accessories may potentially cause loss of hearing.
