• 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 an earphone or headphones with your scan-
ner 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 an earphone or headphones with your scan-
ner 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 lis-
tening at normal volume levels, they still can present a
traffic hazard.
Connecting an Extension Speaker
In a noisy area, an amplified extension speaker (not sup-
plied), might provide more comfortable listening. Plug
the speaker cable’s 3.5mm mini-plug into headphone
jack.
Note: You must use an amplified speaker with this scan-
ner. Non-amplified speakers do not provide sufficient
volume for comfortable listening.
Using the Belt Clip
You can use the belt clip attached to the back of the scan-
ner for hands-free carrying when you are on the go. Slide
the belt clip over your belt or waistband.
