Listening Safely  
To protect your hearing, follow these  
guidelines when you use an earphone.  
• Set the volume to the lowest setting  
before you begin listening. After you  
begin listening, adjust the volume to  
a comfortable level.  
• Do not listen at extremely high vol-  
ume levels. Extended high-volume  
listening can lead to permanent  
hearing loss.  
• Once you set the volume, do not  
increase it. Over time, your ears  
adapt to the volume level, so a vol-  
ume level that does not cause dis-

Preparation  
 
19-1207.fm Page 21 Friday, November 10, 2000 11:04 AM  
comfort might still damage your  
hearing.  
Traffic Safety  
Do not use an earphone with your trans-  
ceiver when operating a motor vehicle or  
riding a bicycle in or near traffic. Doing so  
can create a traffic hazard and could be  
illegal in some areas.  
If you use an earphone with your trans-  
ceiver while riding a bicycle, be very  
careful. Do not listen to a continuous  
broadcast. Even though some earphones  
let you hear some outside sounds when  
listening at normal volume levels, they  
still can present a traffic hazard.

USING AN EXTERNAL  
SPEAKER/MICROPHONE  
An external speaker/microphone can  
make it easier to use the transceiver  
when you clip it to your belt, so you do  
not have to lift the transceiver to your  
mouth each time you transmit. Pull up the  
EAR  
MIC

the frequencies listed on Page 24, you  
can take your transceiver to an autho-  
rized facility to set your transceiver to a  
frequency you have a license to use.  
ABOUT QUIET TONE  
Quiet tone helps eliminate interference  
between different users of the same fre-  
quency, letting you talk and listen to peo-  
ple who are using other transceivers set  
to the same frequency and quiet tone  
code. This is like having a sub-channel  
within a channel, giving you greater com-  
munication flexibility. When you set a qui-  
et tone code — there are 38 to choose  
from — and turn on your transceiver’s  
quiet tone, the transceiver transmits a  
tone with your transmission, letting you  
communicate with anyone who has a  
transceiver set to the same frequency  
28  
Preparation  
 
19-1207.fm Page 29 Friday, November 10, 2000 11:04 AM  
and code. This tone is too low for you to  
hear, but other transceivers can detect it.  
Once you set a quiet tone on the trans-  
ceiver, it only receives those transmis-  
sions that include the same tone. If two  
different groups operate transceivers in  
the same area on the same frequency,  
they do not hear each other’s broadcast if  
they both use quiet tone and each selects  
a different quiet tone.
