Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these
guidelines when you use an earphone.
• 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 vol-
ume 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 vol-
ume level that does not cause dis-
comfort might still damage your
hearing.
Traffic Safety
Do not use an earphone with your trans-
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 an earphone with your trans-
ceiver while riding a bicycle, be very
careful. Do not listen to a continuous
broadcast. Even though some ear-
phones let you hear some outside
sounds when listening at normal volume
levels, they still can present a traffic haz-
ard.
Using an External Speaker/
Microphone
An external speaker/microphone can
make it easier to use the transceiver
when you clip it to your belt, so you do
not have to lift the transceiver to your
mouth each time you transmit. Plug
the speaker/microphone’s plug into
the EAR jack and the MIC jack on top
of the transceiver. This automatically
disconnects the transceiver’s built-in
speaker and microphone.
