When the battery is removed from the unit's power switch, you cannot turn on the unit again unless the preset security code is input. This function helps prevent theft.

NOTE

You must follow steps 1 to 9 to be able to use the Security Code function. Turning off the power during the procedure will deactivate the security code setting.

1Press the SRC button repeatedly to select the standby mode. "ALL OFF" is displayed when the standby mode is selected.

2Select the four digits to use in your security code.

NOTE

The four-digit security code is very important, as you will need it to turn the unit on again when the code security function is on. Choose the number carefully and do not forget it (write it down and keep it separately in a safe place).

3Press the MENU button for at least one second. "MENU" is displayed and the menu mode is turned on.

4Keep pressing the FM button until the "Security" appears in the display.
