Unlocking the Theft Deterrent Feature After A Power Loss

Complete the following steps in order to enter the secret code, pausing no more than 15 seconds between steps:
1. LOC appears when the ignition is ON.
2. Press MN. 000 will appear on the display.
3. Press MN again in order to make the last 2 digits agree with the code.
4. Press HR in order to make the first 1 or 2 digits agree with the code.
5. Press AM/FM after you have confirmed that the code matches the secret code that was written down. The display will show SEC, which indicates the following conditions:
^ The radio is now operable.
^ The radio is secure.

If the wrong code is entered 8 times, INOP will appear on the display. You will have to wait 1 hour with the ignition ON before you can try again. When you try again, you will only have 3 chances to enter the correct code before INOP appears.
