CD-3315 Cassette Recorder with CD Player (140-0539) Operation Faxback Doc. # 19762 USING HEADPHONES For private listening, you can insert a pair of stereo headphones (not supplied) with a 1/8-inch plug into the PHONES jack. NOTES: Your local Radio Shack store carries a wide selection of stereo headphones. Connecting headphones automatically disconnect the built-in speaker. 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 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 headphones while operating a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle. This can create a traffic hazard and is illegal in some areas. Even though some headphones are designed to let you hear some outside sounds when listening at normal volume levels, they still present a traffic hazard.
