CONNECTING

turbing others, you can connect an op-
tional pair of stereo headphones with a

-inch (6.35-mm) plug. Your local Ra-
dioShack store sells a wide selection of
headphones.
Insert the headphones’ plug into the
PHONES/OUTPUT
jack on the back of
the keyboard.
Note
: Connecting headphones discon-
nects the keyboard’s built-in speakers.
Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these
guidelines when you use headphones.
• 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-
comfort might still damage your
hearing.
