Deactivating anti-theft coding
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.
Next to the four multifunction buttons, the position of the code number to be set is shown via “_X _” in the display.
–  Using the four multifunction buttons which are shown, enter the code number stuck onto the radio card in the correct sequence. Press the relevant button as many times as necessary until the correct number is shown in the centre of the display.
–  Then press the multifunction button next to the word “ENTER”. The radio unit is then ready to operate again and switches to its last operating state.
  Note
If an incorrect code number has been entered on deactivating the electronic lock, “SAFE” first flashes in the display, followed by “1000” again. The entire process can now be repeated again. The number of attempts is shown in the display. If an incorrect code number is entered again, the unit is blocked for approx. one hour, i.e. it cannot be operated. This lock is indicated by the fact that “SAFE” is permanently shown in the display. After one hour – the ignition and the unit must remain switched on – the attempt display is extinguished and the electronic lock can be deactivated as described above. The “two attempts, blocked for one hour” cycle still applies.
