Acoustic Safety
CAUTION: Exposure to loud noises from any source for extended periods of time may
temporarily or permanently affect your hearing. The louder the radio volume, the less time
is required before your hearing can be affected. Hearing damage from loud noises is sometimes
undetectable at first and can have a cumulative effect.
To protect your hearing:
•
Use the lowest volume necessary to do your job.
•
Increase the volume only if you are in noisy surroundings.
•
Reduce 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 radio speaker directly against
your ear.
•
If you experience hearing discomfort, ringing in your ears, or speeches that are muffled, you should
stop listening to your radio through your headset or earpiece, and have your hearing checked by
your doctor.
