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 adding a 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’s speaker directly against your ear.
