CONNECTING
HEADPHONES
For private listening and for stereo
sound during FM stereo broadcasts,
you can plug optional stereo head-
phones with a
1
/
8
-inch (3.5 mm) plug
(available at your local RadioShack
store) into the jack on the left side of
the receiver. This automatically dis-
connects the internal speaker.
When you connect stereo headphones
and tune to a stereo broadcast,
appears on the display.
Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these
guidelines when you use headphones.
• Do not listen at extremely high
volume levels. Extended high-vol-
ume listening can lead to perma-
nent hearing loss.
• Set the volume to the lowest set-
ting before you begin listening.
After you begin listening, adjust
the volume to a comfortable level.
• Once you set the volume, do not
increase it. Over time, your ears
adapt to the volume level, so a vol-
ume level that does not cause dis-
comfort might still damage your
hearing.
Traffic Safety
Do not use headphones with your re-
ceiver 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 re-
ceiver, be very careful. Do not listen to
a continuous broadcast. Even though
some headphones let you hear some
outside sounds when listening at nor-
mal volume levels, they still can
present a traffic hazard.
CONNECTING A TAPE
RECORDER
You can connect an optional tape re-
corder to your receiver’s
REC LINE
OUT
jack to record transmissions.
The recorder must have a line level in-
put jack.
Note:
If you use a recorder’s MIC IN
jack to connect to the receiver, the
sound will be distorted.
