Theft-Deterrent Feature

THEFTLOCK

®

is designed to discourage theft of your

radio. It works by using a secret code to disable all radio
functions whenever battery power is interrupted.

If THEFTLOCK

®

is active, the THEFTLOCK

®

indicator

will flash when the ignition is off.

The THEFTLOCK

®

feature for the radio may be used or

ignored. If ignored, the system plays normally and the
radio is not protected by the feature. If THEFTLOCK

®

is

activated, your radio will not operate if stolen.

When THEFTLOCK

®

is activated, the radio will display

LOC to indicate a locked condition anytime battery
power is removed. If your battery loses power for any
reason, you must unlock the radio with the secret
code before it will operate.

Activating the Theft-Deterrent Feature

The instructions which follow explain how to enter your
secret code to activate the THEFTLOCK

®

system. Read

through all nine steps before starting the procedure.

If you allow more than 15 seconds to elapse between
any steps, the radio automatically reverts to time
and you must start the procedure over at Step 4.

to 1999 and keep it in a safe place separate from
the vehicle.

2. Turn the ignition on.

3. Turn the radio off.

4. Press the 1 and 4 pushbuttons at the same time.

Hold them down until --- shows on the display.
Next you will use the secret code number which you
have written down.

5. Press MIN and 000 will appear on the display.

6. Press MIN again to make the last two digits agree

with your code.

7. Press HRS to make the first one or two digits agree

with your code.

8. Press AM-FM after you have confirmed that the

code matches the secret code you have written
down. The display will show REP to let you know
that you need to repeat Steps 5 through 7 to confirm
your secret code.
