- Gently slide or unclip the cover to open the compartment.
- Insert 2 AAA batteries, ensuring the correct polarity (+ and -) as indicated inside the compartment.
- Close the battery compartment cover securely.
Note: If the headphones are not used for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent leakage.
3.2 Connecting to an Infrared Source
The PHP32 headphones are designed to receive audio signals from compatible infrared (IR) transmitters, typically found in Planet Audio car monitors or DVD players.
- Ensure your Planet Audio monitor or IR audio source is powered on and transmitting an audio signal.
- Turn on your PHP32 headphones using the power switch (refer to Section 4.1).
- Position yourself within the line of sight of the IR transmitter. Infrared signals require a clear path between the transmitter and the headphones.
- The headphones should automatically detect and connect to the IR signal. If not, try adjusting your position or checking the channel selection (refer to Section 4.2).

The PHP32 headphones support dual-channel operation (Channel A and Channel B). This allows multiple users to listen to different audio sources simultaneously if your IR transmitter supports it.
- Locate the CHANNEL SELECTOR switch on the headphones.
- Slide the switch to 'A' or 'B' to select the desired audio channel.
- Match the selected channel on the headphones to the output channel of your IR audio source.
