Radio, Stereo, and Compact Disc: Service Precautions

Locking CD auto-changer mechanism

CAUTION:
- Prior to removing a malfunctioning CD auto-changer unit that will be shipped for repair, the changer mechanism MUST BE LOCKED to prevent the mechanism from being damaged during shipping.
- If a CD is jammed or unable to be removed from the unit, do NOT lock the changer mechanism. If the unit is to be shipped for repair, carefully package the unit to prevent vibration and shock.

DAMPER LOCK PROCEDURE
1. Eject and remove any CDs from the audio unit.
2. Turn ignition switch OFF. Wait until audio unit display is off and mechanism stops moving (mechanism sound stops).
3. Press any one of the disc selection buttons once. When a display shows on the Audio unit, press the same disc selection button again within 5 seconds.
- The changer mechanism will lock itself within 10 seconds.

4. After mechanism stops moving (mechanism sound stops), open the driver and passenger window, and then disconnect negative battery cable.

NOTE: After installing a new or remanufactured audio unit, switching the audio unit ON will automatically unlock the mechanism. A special unlocking procedure is not required.
