USING HEADPHONES

Sometimes headphones can capture the subtle difference between short wave
signals and the surrounding noise that often occurs at night.  Be sure
that the headphones have a 1/8 inch plug.  Insert the plug into the jack
on the left of the radio.  When you plug in the headphones, the speaker is
disconnected.  Your local Radio Shack store has a wide selection of
headphones to choose from.

Listening Safely

Do not listen at extremely high volume levels.  Extended, high-volume
listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.  Follow these guidelines to
protect your hearing, especially when you use headphones.

    Always start by setting the volume to the lowest level possible before
    you begin listening.  Put the earphone or headsets on, then gradually
    increase the volume as necessary.

    Once you set the volume, do not increase it.  Over a period of 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 earphones while operating a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle.
This can create a traffic hazard and is illegal in some areas.  Even
though some earphones are designed to let you hear some outside sounds
when listening at normal volume levels, they still present a traffic
hazard.

Listening to FM Stereo

To listen to an FM stereo broadcast, you need a pair of stereo headphones
with a 1/8 inch plug.

1.  Turn POWER on.

2.  Set FM/MW/SW1/SW2 to FM.

3.  Connect stereo headphones to the headphones jack on the left side of
    the radio.

4.  Press STEREO/MONO to display.

NOTE:  The headphones indicator appears only after you connect stereo
       headphones and tune to a stereo station.

5.  Tune to the desired station.

NOTE:  You can improve reception of a weak FM stereo signal by setting
       STEREO/MONO to MONO, but the sound is no longer in stereo.  When
       you select FM mono, the stereo indicator disappears form the
       display.

LOCK/. to .  The LOCK indicator appears on the display.

To release the lock, move the LOCK switch down.

NOTE:  You can also use the LOCK switch while the radio is turned off to
       prevent accidentally turning it on.

USING THE DISPLAY BUTTON
