Listening Safely To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use an earphone or headphones. • Do not use the earphone to listen to the WX alert siren test. The volume is not adjustable and damage to your hearing could occur. • Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended high volume listening can lead to permanent hearing loss. • Set the VOLUME to the lowest setting before you begin listening. After you begin listening, adjust the VOLUME to a comfortable level. • Once you set the VOLUME, do not increase it. Over time, your ears adapt to the volume level, so a volume level that does not cause discomfort might still damage your hearing. Connecting the Clone Cable You can transfer the programmed data to and from another BC785D scanner using a RS232C Cable (9 pin to 9 pin) (not supplied). Connect the cable between each scanner's REMOTE jacks. See "Clone Mode" on page 73. You can also upload or download the programmed data to or from a PC using an optional PC interface kit available through your local electronics store. Connecting the Tape Recorder You can use a standard tape recorder or a VOX (Voice Operated Control) recorder. To connect the recorder to the scanner, connect a cable with a 1/8 inch (3.5 mm) plug from the tape recorder's remote jack to the TAPE OUT jack on the back of the scanner. (Your local electronics store should carry a wide selection of cables and tape recorders.) Refer to the "Record" section under "Additional Features" in the manual. Remember! • You must mark a channel, ID, talkgroup, or bank for Recording in order for this feature to work. • This feature does not work if your scanner is set with MUTE ON. • The VOLUME control affects the Audio output. Do not set the volume on minimum. Make a trial taping to be certain the volume levels are set correctly. 16
