Audio Anti-Theft System Deactivation

The audio system's anti-theft feature renders the system inoperable after
power has been interrupted. Deactivating the anti-theft function prior to
performing repairs will ensure restoration of audio system operation in case the battery is disconnected or power is lost during repairs.

1. Turn ignition switch to Accessory position, then turn audio unit off.
2. Push REWIND and FAST FORWARD buttons until "Code" appears in display window.
3. Push REWIND and FAST FORWARD buttons again until bars ("- - -") appear in display window.
4. With bars displayed, enter owner-selected code number using channel preset buttons 1, 2, 3 and 4. These steps must be completed in ten seconds or setting procedure will be cancelled. If procedure has been cancelled, repeat entire procedure.
5. Push and hold REWIND and FAST FORWARD buttons for approximately two seconds until a beep is heard and the word "Code" is displayed. "Code will flash for five seconds, then disappear to indicate audio system is operable.
6. If "ERR" (error) appears, repeat entire procedure. If personal code is not successfully entered in three attempts, anti-theft feature will activate and audio unit will then be completely inoperable.
