PRECAUTIONS Before you use this scanner, please read and observe the following: n WARNING! Uniden DOES NOT represent this unit to be waterproof. To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, DO NOT expose this unit to rain or moisture. n EARPHONE WARNING: • Be sure to use only the recommended optional earphone or a stereo headset of the proper impedance (32Ω). Use of an incorrect earphone or stereo headset may be potentially hazardous to your hearing. The output of the Phone jack is monaural, but you will hear it in both headphones of a stereo headset. • Set the Volume to a comfortable audio level coming from the speaker before plugging in an earphone or a stereo headset of the proper impedance (32Ω). Otherwise you might experience some discomfort or possible hearing damage if the Volume suddenly becomes too loud because of the Volume Control or Squelch Control setting. This may be particularly true of the type of earphone that is placed in the ear canal. n GENERAL BATTERY WARNING • Do not short circuit any Battery. • Do not discard Batteries in a fire; they may explode. n NICKEL-CADMIUM BATTERY WARNING When using Nickel-Cadmium Batteries with this product, take note of the following warnings: • Cadmium is a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer. • Do not charge Nickel-Cadmium Batteries with any charger other than the one supplied with this product.
