86-6-20 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

Remote Control Handset

The remote control handset is supplied with the system and communicates with the overhead console via an infra-
red signal transmission. The handset has 50 buttons which control all DVD functions, with the exception of the volume 
control. Volume control is performed by the rotary control supplied with the headphones or by the Audio head unit 
volume control for the vehicle audio speakers.

The handset is powered by two, AAA size batteries. These are located behind a sliding cover on the rear face of the 
handset. Battery life is approximately six months depending on usage.

To prolong the life of the handset, observe the following precautions:

l

Do not leave the remote control near any heat sources or in direct sunlight. Store the handset in the vehicle 
glovebox or door pocket to protect it from direct sunlight.

l

Always replace both batteries at the same time. Do not use an old battery with a new one and avoid mixing 
brands of batteries.

l

Ensure that batteries are inserted correctly with the '+' and '-' symbols on the batteries matching the '+' and '-' 
symbols in the battery compartment. Do not charge the batteries or use re-chargeable batteries.

l

If the unit is to be unused for along period of time, remove the batteries from the handset. 

If battery leakage occurs, remove and discard the defective batteries in line with local guidelines. Clean the interior of 
the battery compartment using a mild household detergent on a damp soft cloth.
