Disabling the Theft Deterrent Feature

Perform the following procedure in order to disable the theft-deterrent feature:

IMPORTANT: Enter the secret code as follows. Pause no more than 15 seconds between the steps.

1. Turn the ignition to the ACCESSORY or the RUN position.
2. Turn the radio to the OFF position.
3. Press the 1 and 4 buttons together. Hold them down until SEC appears on the display.
4. Press MN/MIN and 000 will appear on the display.
5. Press MN/MIN again in order to make the last 2 digits agree with the code.
6. Press HR in order to make the first 1 or 2 digits agree with the code.
7. Press AM-FM after you have confirmed that the code matches the secret code you have written down. The display will show a long dash, indicating that the radio is no longer secure.

If the code entered is incorrect, SEC will appear on the display. The radio will remain secured until the correct code is entered.

When the battery power is removed and later applied to a secure radio, the radio will not turn ON and LOC will appear on the display.
