Deactivating the code

Deactivating the code

The code has to be deactivated before removing the radio.

To deactivate the code, proceed as described below:

Press the EXP button (1) and press the "▲" "▼" buttons (2,3) until the message "SAFE" appears on the display.

Briefly press the frequency selection button 2 (4); the message "I - - - -" will appear on the display.

Key in the code following the instructions in the earlier example.

Confirm the code by pressing the EXP button briefly until the message "CODE" appears on the display.

The code is no longer activated.

If an incorrect code has been entered, the message "SAFE" will appear on the display; the entire procedure should be repeated to deactivate the code.

Restoring the operation of the radio by entering the code

When the radio is disconnected from the positive supply, with the safety code activated, it is electronically protected. In order to be used again, the code must be introduced following the procedure described below:

Switch on the radio using the VOL control (1); the message "SAFE" will appear on the display followed by "I - - - -".

Key in the code following the previous example.

Confirm the code by briefly pressing the EXP button (2).

After around 3 seconds the radio will start to work.

If an incorrect code is introduced, the message "SAFE" will appear on the display again. To enter the correct code, repeat the procedure from the beginning, following the waiting periods.

After each failed attempt the radio logic introduces a waiting period during which the radio does not respond to the commands. These waiting periods are:

• 1st attempt waiting period 21 seconds
• 2nd attempt waiting period 1.5 minutes
• 3rd attempt waiting period 5.5 minutes
• 4th attempt waiting period 22 minutes
• 5th attempt waiting period 1.5 hours
• 6th attempt waiting period 6.0 hours
• 7th attempt waiting period 24 hours
• 8th attempt waiting period 24 hours

The radio should not be switched on during the waiting period.
