Enabling Theftlock (R)

The Theftlock� theft deterrent feature causes the radio to become inoperable if the battery voltage is disconnected for more than 15 seconds when the unit is in the secured state. Use the code entry scheme for the following purposes:
^ In order to secure the radio
^ In order to unsecure the radio
^ In order to unlock the radio

You may use any number between 000-1999 as a security code.

Perform the following sequence of operations in order to enable the theft deterrent:
1. Ensure that the battery and the ignition voltages are applied and the radio is turned off.
2. Press and hold the radio preset buttons 1 and 4 for 5 seconds. The display will show indicating that the unit is not in the secure mode.

IMPORTANT: Only 15 seconds are allowed between each of the following steps.

3. Using the HR (or HRS) and the MN (or MIN) buttons, enter any code number. The initial key depression of either button will cause the display to indicate 000.
4. Press and hold the MIN (or MN) button until the last two digits of the code appear. The digits will also increment one by one with every momentary depression.
5. Press and hold the HRS (or HR) button until the first digit or digits of the code appear. The digits will also increment one by one with every momentary depression.
6. Press the AM/FM button. The display will now show REP for 5 seconds, indicating that you must re-enter the code for verification.
7. Re-enter the same code number by repeating steps 3-5.
8. Press the AM/FM button.
^ If the display shows SEC, the verification was successful and the system is in the secure state.
^ If the display shows ---, the verification steps were not successful. Start the entire sequence from the beginning.
9. The display reverts to TOD after 15 seconds.
