Before you use this scanner, please read and observe the following:
Earphone Warning!
Be sure to use only the recommended optional monaural earphone
(EP009). You may also use a 32Ω stereo headset. Use of an incorrect
earphone or stereo headset may be potentially hazardous to your
hearing. The output of the Phone jack is monaural, but you will hear it
in both headphones of a stereo headset.
Set the Volume to a comfortable audio level coming from the speaker
before plugging in the monaural earphone or a stereo headset of the
proper impedance (32Ω). Otherwise you might experience some
discomfort or possible hearing damage if the volume suddenly
becomes too loud because of the Volume Control or Squelch Switch
setting. This may be particularly true of the type of earphone that is
placed in the ear canal.
