Deactivating anti-theft coding
A blocked radio unit can only be returned to normal operation by entering the correct code number for the anti-theft coding.
  Note
t  The code number for the anti-theft coding is stuck to the radio card, together with the unit number → 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 renewed, the code number of the replacement radio must be used.
t  The customer must be informed that the code number has changed.
–  Obtain the unit's code number.
–  Switch the 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 press the Stations button, which is located below “OK” in display (normally this is the last station button), until the anti-theft coding is activated. This is indicated by a brief signal sound.
If the code number has been entered correctly into the radio unit the radio frequency will appear in the display.
  Note
If the incorrect anti-theft code is entered, it can be immediately corrected with a further attempt. If the incorrect anti-theft code is entered twice, the radio unit is locked for one hour. Leave ignition and radio unit switched on. The process of deactivating the anti-theft coding can then be repeated after one hour. Remember: you always have two attempts at entering the code, then the radio unit is blocked for one hour.
