radio. It works by using a secret code
to disable all radio
functions whenever battery power is removed.

power
is removed. If your battery loses power for any
reason, you must unlock the radio with the secret code
before it will operate.

secret code to activate the THEFTLOCK system. It is

NOTE:
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
