Theft-Deterrent Feature
THEFTLOCK@ is designed to discourage theft of your
radio. It works by using a secret code to disable all radio
functions whenever battery power is interrupted.
The THEFTLOCK@ feature for the radio may be used or
ignored.
If ignored, the system plays normally and the
radio is not protected by the feature.
If THEFTLOCK@ is
activated, your radio will not operate
if stolen.
When THEFTLOCK@ is activated, the radio will display
LOC to indicate a locked condition anytime battery
power has been interrupted.
If your battery loses power
for any reason, you must unlock the radio with the
secret code before
it will operate.

Activating the Theft-Deterrent Feature
The instructions which follow explain how to enter your
secret code to activate the THEFTLOCK@ system. Read
through all nine steps before starting the procedure.
If you allow more than 15 seconds to elapse between
any steps, the radio automatically reverts to time
and you must start the procedure over at Step
4.
1. Write down any three or four-digit number from
000 to 1999 and keep it in a safe place separate
from the vehicle.
2. Turn the ignition on.
3. Turn the radio off.
4. Press the 1 and 4 pushbuttons at the same time.
Hold them down until - - - shows on the display.

have written down.
5. Press MN and 000 will appear on the display.
6. Press MN again to make the last two digits agree
with your code.
7. Press HR to make the first one or two digits agree
with your code.

code matches the secret code you have written
down. The display will show REP to let you know
that you need to repeat Steps 5 through
7 to confirm
your secret code.

SEC to let you know that your radio is secure.
The
LED indicator by the volume knob will begin
