Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use
an earphone or headphones.
Do not use an earphone to listen to the WX alert siren
test or when in SAME Alert mode. The alert tone’s vol-
ume is not adjustable and damage to your hearing
could occur.
Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended
high-volume listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.
Set the VOL (VOLUME) to the lowest setting before you
begin listening. After you begin listening, adjust the VOL
(VOLUME) to a comfortable level.
Once you set the VOL (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.
