Using Headphones (not included)
If you would like to listen to your music privately through the use of headphones, you may do so in one
step. Simply plug your headphones into the phones socket, located on top the unit. Compatible
headphones have a 3.5mm diameter stereo plug and an impedance of 8-32 Ohms. When your
headphones are connected, the stereo speakers are automatically disconnected.
Establish a safe sound level
Over time your hearing will adapt to continuous loud sounds and will give the impression that the volume
has in fact been reduced. What seems normal to you may in fact be harmful. To guard against this before
your hearing adapts, set the volume to a low level.
Slowly increase the level until you can hear comfortably and clearly and without distortion. Damage to your
hearing is accumulative and is irreversible. Any ringing or discomfort in the ears indicates that the volume
is too loud. Once you have established a comfortable listening level, do not increase the sound level.
Adjusting the Volume
Turn the VOLUME Control knob to increase / decrease the volume sound.
Adjusting the rod antenna
The aerial should be extended to ensure good reception in both
FM
radio modes. It may be necessary to
adjust the position of the unit and /or aerial position to achieve the best signal reception.
