VOL control dial

Note

The volume of the headphones cannot be adjusted with the supplied card remote commander. Use the volume control on the headphones.

Sound is automatically attenuated if noise increases — Attenuate function

If the infrared rays are obstructed, or the headphones are used outside their effective range, noise will increase and sound will diminish. To avoid potential ear damage as a result of noise, this function attenuates any sound in the headphones. Sound is automatically restored when you move nearer to the transmitter or remove the obstruction.

Selecting the audio channel

You can select the audio channel with the CH1/CH2 switch to avoid interference when using the cordless headphones with other AV equipment. Select the audio channel according to the monitor’s menu setting of “Cordless Headphones.”

After listening to the program

Take off the headphones, and then turn off the power (Noise may occur if you turn off the monitor before taking off the headphones).

Precautions

• The driver must not use the headphones. It may lead to distraction and cause an accident.

• If the headphones are used while exposed to direct sunlight, sensitivity of the infrared sensors may deteriorate, and inferior quality sound may result.

• When the headphones are not to be used for a long period of time, remove the batteries to avoid damage caused by battery leakage and subsequent corrosion.

• Do not leave the headphones in a location subject to direct sunlight, heat or moisture (It is recommended to use the headphones at a of temperature of between 5 ˚C (41 °F) and 35 ˚C (95 °F)).

• Do not drop, hit or otherwise subject the headphones to excessive shock of any kind, as this could damage the product.

Notes on headphones preventing hearing damage

Avoid using headphones at high volume. Hearing experts advise against continuous, loud and extended play. If you experience a ringing in your ears, lower the volume or discontinue use.
