new vehicle delivery inspection, into newly installed or existing units removed and reinstalled.

Input the security code found on the radio card using the station preset buttons on the radio. Button "1" corresponds to the first number in the
security code, "2" the second and so on. Press the applicable button repeatedly until the desired number appears in the display (eg.: press button
"1" three times it the first number in the code is 3).
-
When the entire code has been input and appears on the display, press the right side of the "Seek" button (">") for longer then 2 seconds until an
audible signal is heard.
The code is input properly when the display indicates a radio frequency (ready for use). When the radio is switched off and the ignition key removed,
a flashing LED on the radio faceplate indicates the radio is security protected.
Incorrect code number
If an incorrect code is entered, "SAFE" will appear in the display (first blinking and then continuous) and the radio will not function. The entire coding
procedure can only be repeated one more time immediately (the number of attempts is displayed).
If during the second attempt an incorrect code is entered, the radio will lock-up for approximately one hour. Leave radio switched on for 1 hour and
attempt coding again when the number of attempts on display goes out (ensure proper code is available).
Cycle: 2 attempts - 1 hour lock-up still applies.
