Realistic PRO-2024 - Understanding Your Scanner Features; A Look at the Display Indicators; Connecting Headphones; Hearing Comfort and Health Advice

CONNECTING
HEADPHONES
For private listening or in a noisy envi¬
ronment, you can connect head¬
phones (not supplied) to the Vs-inch
jack on the front of your scanner. We
recommend a mono headset, avail¬
able at your local Radio Shack store.
You automatically disconnect the in¬
ternal speaker when you plug in the
headphones.
HEARING CONFORT AND
YOUR HEALTH
Do not listen (especially using head¬
phones) at extremely high volume lev¬
els. Extended, high-volume listening
can lead to permanent hearing loss.
