E. Power indicator light
The RSE includes two 2-channel
wireless headphones that are
dedicated to this system. Channel 1
is dedicated to the video screen,
while Channel 2 is dedicated to
Rear Seat Audio (RSA) selections.
These headphones can be used tolisten to the radio, CDs, DVDs,
MP3s, DVD‐As, or any auxiliary
source connected to A/V jacks or
the auxiliary input jack, if the vehicle
has this feature. The wireless
headphones have an On/Off button,
channel 1 or 2 switch, and a volume
control.
Push the power button to turn on
the headphones. An indicator light
located on the headphones comes
on. If the light comes on, but there
is intermittent sound and/or static on
the headphones, or if the indicator
light does not come on, the batteries
might need to be replaced. See
“Battery Replacement”
later in this
section for more information. Switch
the headphones to Off when not
in use.
Infrared transmitters are located
at the rear of the overhead
console. The headphones shut off
automatically to save the battery
power if the RSE system and RSA
are 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 lose
the audio signal.
To adjust the volume on the
headphones, use the volume
control located on the right side.
For optimal audio performance, the
headphones must be worn correctly.
Headphones should be worn with
the headband over the top of the
head for best audio reception. The
symbol L (Left) appears on the
outside bottom edge of the ear cup
and should be positioned on the left
ear. The symbol R (Right) appears
on the outside bottom edge of the
ear cup and should be positioned on
the right ear.
Notice:
Do not store the
headphones in heat or direct
sunlight. This could damage the
headphones and repairs will
not be covered by the warranty.
Storage in extreme cold can
weaken the batteries. Keep the
headphones stored in a cool, dry
place.

Global Positioning
System (GPS)
The navigation system determines
the position of the vehicle by using
satellite signals, various vehicle
signals, and map data.
At times, other interferences such
as the satellite condition, road
configuration, the condition of the
vehicle and/or other circumstances
can interfere with the navigation
system's ability to determine the
accurate position of the vehicle.

Black plate (77,1)Cadillac Escalade EXT Owner Manual - 2011
Infotainment System 7-77
The GPS shows the current position
of the vehicle using signals sent by
the GPS Satellites of the United
States Department of Defense.
When the vehicle is not receiving
signals from the satellites, a symbol
appears on the map screen. Refer
toGlobal Positioning System (GPS)
on page 7‑76.
This system may not be available or
interferences may occur if any of the
following are true:
.Signals are obstructed by tall
buildings, trees, large trucks,
or a tunnel.
.Objects are located on the front
dash of the vehicle.
.Satellites are being repaired or
improved.
.After-market glass tinting has
been applied to the vehicle's
windshield. Notice:
Do not apply after-market
glass tinting to the vehicle's
windows. Glass tinting interferes
with the system's ability to
receive GPS signals and causes
the system to malfunction.
The window might have to be
replaced to correct the problem.
This would not be covered by the
warranty.
For more information if the GPS is
not functioning properly, see Vehicle
Positioning on page 7‑77 and
Problems with Route Guidance on
page 7‑78.
Vehicle Positioning
At times, the position of the vehicle
on the map may be inaccurate due
to one or more of the following
reasons:
.Road system has changed.
.Vehicle is driving on slippery
road surfaces such as in sand,
gravel, and/or snow.
.Vehicle is traveling on winding
roads.
.Vehicle is on a long
straight road.
.Vehicle is approaching a tall
building or a large vehicle.
.Surface streets run parallel to a
freeway.
.Vehicle has just been transferred
