headphones.
The wireless headphones have an ON/OFF switch and
a volume control. To use the headphones, turn the

headphones to OFF when not in use.The transmitters are located below the overhead RSE
control panel. The headphones will shut off automatically
to save the battery power if the DVD system is shut
off, or if the headphones are out of range of the
transmitters for more than three minutes. If you move
too far forward or step out of the vehicle, the
headphones will lose the audio signal.
