playing.

number and serial number. It is best

home. In addition, you should write
the audio system’s serial number in
this Owner’s Manual. If you should
happen to lose the card, you must
obtain the code number f rom your
Acura dealer. To do this, you will
need the system’s serial number. You will have to store your favorite
stations in the preset buttons after
the system begins working. Your
original settings were lost when
power was disconnected.
Your car’s audio system will disable
itself if it is disconnected f rom
electrical power f or any reason. To
make it work again, the user must
enter a specif ic code using the preset
buttons or the TUNE knob. Because
there are hundreds of number
combinations possible, making the
system work without knowing the
exact code is nearly impossible.
If your car’s battery is disconnected
or goes dead, or the radio f use is
removed, the audio system will
disable itself . If this happens, you
will see ‘‘ ’’/‘‘ ’’ in the
frequencydisplaythenexttimeyou
turn on the system. Use the preset
buttons or the TUNE knob to enter
the code.
If your car is equipped with a
navigation system, press and release
the TUNE knob; the number ‘‘0’’
appears on the display.
If ‘‘0’’ is the f irst digit in your code,
press and release the TUNE knob
to store it.
If ‘‘0’’ is not the f irst digit in your
code, turn the TUNE knob lef t or
right until the f irst digit is
displayed. Press and release the
TUNE knob to store it. Enter the
remaining digits the same way. If you make a mistake entering the
code, do not start over or try to
correct your mistake. Complete the
sequence, then enter the correct
code. You have ten tries to enter the
correct code. If you are unsuccessf ul
in ten attempts, you must then leave
the system on f or 1 hour bef ore
trying again.
