CONNECTING AN 
EARPHONE
For private listening, you can use the
supplied earphone. Insert the ear-
phone’s 
1
/
8
-inch plug into the 
EAR
jack.
Note: Connecting the earphone au-
tomatically disconnects the built-in
speaker.
Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these
guidelines when you use an ear-
phone.
• Do not listen at extremely high
volume levels. Extended high
volume listening can lead to per-
manent hearing loss.
• Set the volume to the lowest set-
ting before you begin listening.
After you begin listening, adjust
the volume to a comfortable
level.
• 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 an earphone while oper-
ating a motor vehicle or riding a bicy-
cle. This can create a traffic hazard
and is illegal in some areas.
Even though some earphones are
designed to let you hear some out-
side sounds when listening at normal
volume levels, they still present a
traffic hazard.
