AM/FM Stereo Headset (120-0912) Operation Faxback Doc. # 7629 LISTENING SAFELY To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use the headset. 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. TRAFFIC SAFETY Do not wear the headset while operating a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle. This can cause a traffic hazard and is illegal in some areas. Do not wear the headset while walking in areas near bicycle or motor vehicle traffic. ADJUSTING THE HEADSET You can adjust the headband and back-support band for a custom fit. Rotate the back-support band and slide the grips until it fits snugly across the back of your head. To adjust the head-band, firmly grasp the headband's center section and slide each side in or out. PLAYING THE HEADSET 1. Press and hold down POWER until the band and station appear on the display. 2. Press BAND to select AM or FM. 3. Press TUNING UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW to select the desired station. Press and hold down TUNING UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW for 1 second to quickly scan the stations. When you release it, the headset automatically tunes to the next strong station. 4. Adjust VOLUME on the left earpiece to a comfortable level. 5. Press POWER to turn off the headset. If you do not turn off the headset, it turns off automatically in 60 minutes to save battery power. To continue listening, press and hold down POWER until the band and station appear on the display. MEMORY TUNING Store your favorite stations into memory so you can easily tune to them or scan them. You can store up to 20 stations (10 stations in each band). Storing a Station in Memory 1. Press POWER to turn on the headset. Then select the band and station you want to store into memory. 2. Press MEMORY. 1 appears and MEMORY flashes on the display for about 10 seconds. 3. While MEMORY flashes, repeatedly press M-SELECT until the display shows the memory location number you want to assign to this station. 4. Press MEMORY again. 5. Select the next band and station you want to store into memory and repeat Steps 2-4. Notes: If you do not complete the steps within 10 seconds, MEMORY disappears and the headset does not store the station in memory. You must begin again at Step 2. If you assign a location number previously assigned, the new station replaces the old one. Tuning to a Programmed Station To tune to a programmed station, select the appropriate band and repeatedly press M-SELECT until the desired memory location number appears on the display. To move quickly through the memory locations press and hold M-SELECT. LOCKING THE CONTROLS LOCK IN/OUT prevents you from accidentally turning the headset on or off, changing the band or station, or changing other controls. You can still adjust VOLUME. To lock the controls, set LOCK IN/OUT on the right earpiece to IN. -0 LOCK appears on the display. To unlock the controls, set LOCK IN/OUT to OUT. -0 LOCK disappears from the display. Note: Automatic power-off works even when LOCK IN/OUT is set to IN. CARE AND MAINTENANCE This Radio Shack AM/FM Stereo Headset with Digital Tuning is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for it so you can enjoy it for years. Keep the headset dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids can contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits. Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type. Always remove old or weak batteries. They can leak chemicals and cause damage to the electronic circuits. Handle the headset gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage the circuit board and case. Use and store the headset only in normal temperature environments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts. Keep the headset away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of parts. Modifying or tampering with the headset's internal components can cause a malfunction, invalidate its warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. If the headset is not performing as it should, take it to your local Radio Shack store for assistance. (br/all-9/20/94)
