Connecting headphones to your system

Since the audio connections on in-flight entertainment systems can vary, the dual-plug airline adapter for your product might not plug-in. However, 1/8" (3.5 mm) connections are common and don't require an adapter. (Note: The quality of audio provided in-flight can vary.)

Insert the headphone cable connector into the 1/8-inch (3.5 mm) audio output jack on the computer. Here are some tips for finding the correct jack:

• It might be labelled Audio Out, Line Out or Headphones. It could also have a headphones icon or an icon of an arrow pointing out of a circle
• On PCs, it is typically a green colored jack
  
• On Macs, it is typically a jack labelled with a headphones icon
  

Insert the headphone connector into the 1/8-inch (3.5 mm) headphone input on the portable audio device. For more information refer to the device manufacturer.

If the device to which you want to connect has a larger 1/4" (6.35 mm) jack as compared to the 1/8" (3.5 mm) plug on your headset, use a 1/8" (3.5 mm) to 1/4" (6.35 mm) stereo adapter.

The dual-plug adapter lowers the volume levels of strong audio output signals that are common on airline systems. Notice the jack configurations shown below. Instructions below each image tell you how to connect to each type of jack

 
A single 1/8-inch (3.5 mm) output jack, found on most portable sources: Pivot the movable plug so that it snaps in place against the adapter body. Plug the headphone cord into the adapter and insert it into the output jack. If the volume level is too low, remove the adapter and plug the headphone cord directly into the output jack

 
One 1/8-inch (3.5 mm) jack and one power jack: Pivot the movable plug so that it snaps in place against the adapter body. Plug the headphone cord into the adapter and insert it into the 1/8-inch output jack. The smaller, power jack used for other types of headsets does not need a connection. If the volume level is too low, remove the adapter and plug the headphone cord directly into the 1/8-inch output jack

Regardless of adapter position or use nothing should be connected to the 2.5 mm power jack, including any adapters for various phones. Doing so may cause damage to the headset. There is also the possibility of personal injury

 
Two 1/8-inch (3.5 mm) jacks: Plug the headphone cord into the dual plug adapter and insert it into the dual output jacks

 
One power jack and two 1/8-inch (3.5 mm) jacks: Plug the headphone cord into the dual plug adapter and insert it into the two 1/8-inch output jacks. The smaller, power jack used for other types of headsets does not need a connection

When removing a jack or adapter, grab it at its base and gently pull it away from the connection (do not pull the cord)

Regardless of adapter position or use nothing should be connected to the 2.5 mm power jack, including any adapters for various phones. Doing so may cause damage to the headset. There is also the possibility of personal injury.
