screen. The headphones shut off
automatically to save the battery
power if the RSE system is off or if
the headphones are out of range of
the transmitters for more than
three minutes. Moving too far
forward or stepping out of the
vehicle can cause the headphones
to lose the signal or have static.
Use the volume control on the
headphones to adjust the volume. For best audio performance, wear
the headphones as indicated with
L (Left) and R (Right) on the ear
pads. Do not let anything cover the
ear pads.
{Caution

dry place.
If the foam ear pads become worn
or damaged, the pads can be
replaced separately. To purchase
