point of switching that feature off. There are two distinct sets of

beep tones sent through the earpieces when you have reached

maximum volume levels as well as minimum levels (off). When

a radio connector of the DOM II is connected to a radio and

the radio is subsequently turned on, the volume level of the

earpieces (whether being worn or not) will engage at a level

closely representing normal human hearing levels (individuals

with little or no hearing loss). Adjustment in volume should be

made depending upon your personal hearing capabilities as well

as environmental surroundings and conditions.
