ACOUSTIC SAFETY
Exposure to loud noises from any source for
extended periods of time may temporarily or
permanently affect your hearing. The louder
the volume, the less time is required before
your hearing could be affected. Hearing
damage from loud noise is sometimes
undetectable at first and can have a
cumulative effect. To protect your hearing:
• Use the lowest volume necessary to do
your job.
• Turn up the volume only if you are in
noisy surroundings.
• Turn down the volume before connecting
headset or earpiece.
• Limit the amount of time you use
headsets or earpieces at high volume.
• When using the radio without a headset
or earpiece, do not place the speaker
directly against your ear.
