Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines
when you use earphones.
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 volume 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 volume level that does not cause
discomfort might still damage your hearing.
Traffic Safety
Do not wear earphones while operating a
motor vehicle or riding a bicycle. This can
createatraffichazardandcouldbeillegalin
some areas.
Even though some earphones let you hear
some outside sounds when listening at
normal volume levels, they still can present a
traffic hazard.
Care
Keep the recorder dry; if it gets wet, wipe it dry
immediately. Use and store the recorder only in
normal temperature environments. Handle the
recorder carefully; do not drop it. Keep the
recorder away from dust and dirt, and wipe it
with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking
new.
If your recorder is not performing as it should,
take it to your local RadioShack store for
assistance. Modifying or tampering with the
recorder’s internal components can cause a
malfunction and might invalidate its warranty
and void your FCC authorization to operate it.
