Deactivating electronic anti-theft system
Deactivating electronic anti-theft system
On new radio units the anti-theft coding is active first after entering the correct code number.
A blocked (locked) radio unit will only work again if the correct code number for the electronic anti-theft system is entered.
  Note
t  The code number for the electronic anti-theft system along with the unit number are stuck on the radio card → Operating manual.
t  The radio card should not be kept in the vehicle for security reasons. If necessary, ask the customer for the code number.
t  If a radio unit is replaced, the code number of the replacement radio must be used.
t  The customer must be informed that the code number has changed.
–  Obtain code number for unit.
–  Switch radio unit on.
The unit automatically displays “SAFE” and then “1000”. There is no need to operate any buttons.
–  Use station buttons 1 to 4 to enter the code number stuck onto the radio card. Use the first key to enter the first code number, the second key to enter the second code number and so on.
–  Then depress the left or right rocker of the radio unit to the right until the anti-theft coding is activated. This is indicated by a brief sound.
When the ignition key is removed the diode located next to the unit name will flash if the code number has been entered correctly into the radio unit. If the diode flashes the radio is ready for operation and the electronic anti-theft coding is active.
