ignored. If ignored, the radio plays normally and the
radio is not protected by the feature. If THEFTLOCK
®is
activated, the radio will not operate if stolen.
When THEFTLOCK
®is activated, LOC will appear on

battery power has been interrupted. If the battery
loses power for any reason, you must unlock the radio
with the secret code before it will operate.
