ON/OFF/Volume  
• Set the volume to the lowest setting before you  
begin listening with your ear phones. After you begin  
listening, set 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.  
Rotate to turn on and adjust  
volume.  
• Modifying or tampering with your radio’s  
internal components can cause a malfunction  
and might void your FCC authorization to  
operate it.
