15.1
Acoustic Safety
Exposure to loud noises from any source for extended periods of time may temporarily or permanently
affect your hearing. The louder the radio volume, the less time is required before your hearing could
be affected. Hearing damage from loud noise is sometimes undetectable at first and can have a
cumulative effect. To protect your hearing:
•
Use the lowest volume necessary to do your job.
•
Turn up the volume only if you are in noisy surroundings.
•
Turn down the volume before adding headset or earpiece.
