for more than three minutes. If you
move too far forward or step out of
the vehicle, the headphones lose
the audio signal.

headphones, use the volume
control located on the right side.
For optimal audio performance, the
headphones must be worn correctly.

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.
