USING AN EARPHONE
For private listening, you can con-
nect a monaural earphone (not sup-
plied) with a
1
/8-inch plug to the
CTR-98. Your local Radio Shack
store carries a wide selection of ear-
phones.
Insert the earphone’s
1
/8-inch plug
into the EAR jack on top of the CTR-
98.
Note: Connecting an earphone auto-
matically disconnects the built-in
speaker.
LISTENING SAFELY
To protect your hearing, follow these
guidelines when you use an ear-
phone.
Set the volume to the lowest set-
ting 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 per-
manent 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 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.
