Unlocking Secured Audio Assembly After Power Loss


NOTICE: When in the SECURE mode, the battery power is interrupted, the unit will become inoperable and the display will show "LOC" whenever IGN is on. The following steps are used to unlock the unit:

1. Depress the SET button. The display will show "000."
2. Enter the first three digits of the user-selected code. The unit will display the numbers as entered.
3. Depress the AM/FM button. The display will show "000."
4. Enter the second three digits of the user-selected code. The unit will display the numbers as entered.
5. Depress the AM/FM button. If the unlock sequence was successful (the numbers matched either the user-selected code or the factory back-up code), the display will show "SEC," indicating the unit is operational and in the SECURE mode. If the display shows "LOC," the numbers did not match and the unlock sequence was not successful.

NOTICE: After an initial eight tries, the unit will time out for an hour and will write time out for an additional hour after every three tries.
