receiver. It can produce quality AM

you need for the best sound. You don’t

CD Player Anti-Theft Fieature
Delco LOC II@ is a security feature for
the compact disc player. It can be used
or ignored. If ignored, the system plays
normally.
If it is used, your player won’t
be usable if it is ever stolen, because it
will go to
LOC mode any time battery
power is removed. Until an unLOC
code is entered, it will not
turn on.
The instructions below tell you how to
enter a secret code into the system.
If
your vehicle loses battery power for any
reason, you must unlock the system with
the secret code before the radio will turn
on.
To Set the Anti-Theft System:
1. Write down any six-digit number and
keep it in a safe place.
2. Turn the ignition to the Accessory or
Run position.
3. Press the POWER button to turn the
radio
off.
4. Press the PREV and FF buttons
together. Hold them down until
“- - -” shows on the display (at least
five seconds). You are ready to enter
your secret code.
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 4.
