INFRARED (IR) WIRELESS HEADPHONES
Your rear entertainment system is equipped with 2 sets of infrared (IR)
wireless headphones. The IR wireless headphones will only function
when used in the rear seating positions and with the doors closed since
they receive signals from the transmitter located in the overhead
console. Also, the IR wireless headphones are only designed to be used
with the VCP; they will not function in other audio modes
(AM/FM1/FM2/AUX).
Two AAA batteries are needed to operate the IR wireless headphones
and will work for approximately 30 hours on a set of fresh batteries.
When replacing the batteries, use two new batteries (alkaline
recommended) and install them with the correct + and - orientation.
