CONNECTING AN
EARPHONE/
HEADPHONES
For private listening, you can connect
an earphone or headphones with a
1
/
8
-
inch (3.5-mm) plug to the
EXT SP
jack
on the back of the scanner. (Your local
RadioShack store carries a wide se-
lection of earphones and head-
phones). This automatically dis-
connects the internal speaker.
Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these
guidelines when you use an earphone
or headphones.
• Do not listen at extremely high
volume levels. Extended high-
volume listening can lead to per-
manent hearing loss.
•Set
VOLUME
to the lowest setting
before you begin listening. After
you begin listening, adjust
VOL-
UME
to a comfortable level.
• Once you set
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 Cat. No. 20-
196 or Cat. No. 20-522 scanner using
the supplied clone cable. Connect the
cable between each scanner’s
PC/IF
jacks. See “Cloning Programmed
Data from Scanner to Scanner” on
Page 35. You can also upload or
download the programmed data to or
from a PC using an optional PC inter-
face kit available through your local
RadioShack store.
