USING HEADPHONES

Sometimes headphones can capture the subtle difference between signals and
the surrounding noise that often occurs at night.  Be sure that the
headphones have 1/8 inch plug.  Insert the plug into the PHONES jack on
the left of the receiver.  When you plug in the headphones, the speaker is
silenced.  You will find a wide selection of headphones to choose from at
your local Radio Shack store.

CAUTION:  Always set the volume to minimum before plugging in the
          headphones to prevent damage to the headphones and to protect
          your ears from excessive volume levels.  Slowly adjust the
          volume to a comfortable listening level.

HEARING COMFORT AND YOUR HEALTH

Do not listen at extremely high volume levels, especially when using
headphones.  Extended, high-volume listening can lead to permanent hearing
loss.

TRAFFIC SAFETY

Do not wear headphones while operating a motor vehicle or riding a
bicycle.  This can create a traffic hazard.

Even though some headphones are designed to let you hear some outside
sounds when listening at normal volume levels, they still present a
traffic hazard.
