CONNECTING AN
EXTERNAL SPEAKER
OR HEADPHONES
In a noisy area, an extension speaker
or pair of monaural headphones (Cat.
No. 21-549 or 20-210) might provide
more comfortable listening. Use an 8-
ohm external speaker capable of han-
dling 3 watts of power.
Plug the speaker cable’s or head-
phones’

/

-inch plug into the
EXT SP
jack on the back of the scanner.
Caution:
Do not turn the scanner’s
volume all the way up while using
headphones. The headphones could
be damaged.
Note:
Plugging in an external speaker
or headphones disconnects the scan-
ner’s internal speaker.
Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these
guidelines when you use headphones.
• Do not listen at extremely high
volume levels. Extended high-vol-
ume listening can lead to perma-
nent hearing loss.
• Set the volume to the lowest set-
ting 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.
