Radio Operation
3. Replace the cover.
When your system's sound weakens or dis-
torts, replace the batteries.
Cautions:
• Dispose of old batteries promptly and
properly. Do not burn or bury them.
• If you do not plan to use the system with
batteries for a month or more, or if you
plan to use only AC power, remove the
batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals
that can destroy electronic parts.
USING HEADPHONES/
EARPHONES
For private listening, you can connect stereo
headphones (not supplied) or an earphone
with a
1
/
8
-inch (3.5-mm) plug into the .jack.
Your local RadioShack store carries a wide
selection of stereo headphones and ear-
phones.
Note:
Connecting headphones or an ear-
phone automatically disconnects the built-in
speaker.
Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these guide-
lines when you use headphones or ear-
phones.
• 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.
USING THE CARRYING
HANDLE
For easy carrying, pull out the portable han-
dle under the cassette deck. When you fin-
ish, replace it.
