CONNECTING AN EARPHONE

To listen privately, you can plug an optional earphone into the EAR jack on
the back of the clock radio.  (You can use headphones, but you cannot
receive a stereo signal.)  You can find a complete selection of earphones
and headphones at your local Radio Shack store.

NOTE:  Connecting an earphone automatically disconnects the built-in
       speaker.

Listening Safely

To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use an earphone.

    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 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.
