Establish a safe sound level
Over time your hearing will adapt to continuous loud sounds and will give the impression that the volume

your hearing adapts, set the volume to a low level.
Slowly increase the level until you can hear comfortably and clearly and without distortion. Damage to your
hearing is accumulative and is irreversible. Any ringing or discomfort in the ears indicates that the volume
is too loud. Once you have established a comfortable listening level, do not increase the sound level.
Adjusting the Volume
Turn the VOLUME Control knob to increase / decrease the volume.
Adjusting the rod antenna
