Headphones and Speakers

You can plug headphones (not supplied) or an

amplified speaker (not supplied) with a

1/8-inch (3.5 mm) mini-plug earphone or in the

headphone jack on top of your scanner. This

automatically disconnects the internal speaker.

NOTE: Use an amplified speaker with this scanner;

Non-amplified speakers do not provide sufficient

volume for comfortable listening.

Listening Safely

To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines

when you use headphones:

Set the volume to zero before putting on

headphones. With the headphones on, adjust the

volume to a comfortable level.

Avoid increasing the volume after you set it. Over

time, your sensitivity to a volume level decreases, so

volume levels that do not cause discomfort might

damage your hearing.

Avoid or limit listening at high-volume levels.

Prolonged exposure to high-volume levels can

cause permanent hearing loss.

Wearing headphones while operating a motor

vehicle or riding a bicycle can create a traffic hazard

and is illegal in most areas. Even though some

headphones let you hear some outside sounds

when listening at normal volume levels, they still can

present a traffic hazard. Exercise extreme caution!
