Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use an earphone or headphones.
•
Do not use the earphone to listen to the WX alert siren test or when in SAME Alert
mode. The alert tone's volume is not adjustable and damage to your hearing could
occur.
• Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended high volume listening can lead to
permanent hearing loss.
• Set the
VOLUME
to the lowest setting before you begin listening. After you begin listening,
adjust the
VOLUME
to a comfortable level.
• 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.
Connecting the Clone Cable
You can transfer the programmed data to and from another BC796D scanner using a
RS232C Cable (9 pin to 9 pin) (not supplied). Connect the cable between each scanner’s
REMOTE
jacks. See "Clone Mode" on page 73. You can also upload or download the
programmed data to or from a PC using an optional PC interface kit available through your
local electronics store.
Connecting the Tape Recorder
You can use a standard tape recorder or a VOX (Voice Operated Control) recorder. To
connect the recorder to the scanner, connect a cable with a 1/8 inch (3.5 mm) plug from the
tape recorder’s remote jack to the
TAPE OUT
jack on the back of the scanner. (Your local
electronics store should carry a wide selection of cables and tape recorders.)
