USING STEREO
HEADPHONES
For private listening, connect optional
stereo headphones into the receiver's
1
/
8
-inch jack. Your local RadioShack store
offers a wide selection of stereo head-
phones.
Note:
The built-in speaker disconnects
when you plug in headphones.
Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these
guidelines when you use headphones.
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 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 receiv-
er while riding a bicycle, be very careful.
Do not listen to a continuous broadcast.
Even though some headphones let you
hear some outside sounds when listen-
ing at normal volume levels, they still
can present a traffic hazard.
USING THE FOLDING
STAND
You can use the stand on the back of
the receiver to prop it up so you can
easily see the clock display. Simply lift
the stand away from the receiver and
set the receiver on a flat surface.
The back of the stand shows a world
map with time zone changes. You can
use the map to help you set the Second-
ary Clock to determine broadcast times
in other parts of the world.
