Security Code

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 8 to be able to use the Security Code function. Turning off the power during the procedure will deactivate the security code setting.

Once the security code function has been activated, "Security" disappears from the MENU system. Note that it will no longer be possible to cancel this function afterwards.

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 first and then "Security" is displayed.

4Press either the 4 or ¢ button for at least two seconds. "ENTER" will appear in the display for one second, indicating the code setting mode has been entered. When "CODE" appears in the display, you can start inputting the code.

5Press the preset button and enter the security code that you have selected in step 2.

Example: Use "3510" as the security code.

Step	Button to press	# Times	Display
		pressed
1	#1	4	“3”
2	#2	6	“5”
3	#3	2	“1”
4	#4	1	“0”

6Press the DISP button for at least three seconds. The security code will be set.

"RE-ENTER" will appear in the display for one second, asking you to enter the code once again for confirmation. When "CODE" appears in the display, you can start inputting the code.

7Press the Preset button and input the security code again.

8Press the DISP button again for at least three seconds. "APPROVED" will appear in the display, with the security code function turning on. From this point on, if the unit is disconnected from the battery, the security code must be entered the first time that the unit's power is turned on. "ENTER" and "CODE" will appear in the display, asking you to input the code.

NOTE

If you input an incorrect security code, the code setting mode will be canceled automatically. Follow the steps from 4 to 8 above again.

If you press the RESET button or remove the battery:

The first time you turn the unit on again, "CODE" will appear in the display, asking you to input the security code.

Repeat steps 7 and 8 above, and input the security code. You can start operating the unit again when "APPROVED" appears in the display.

If you enter the incorrect code, the power will turn off. Enter the correct code to turn the unit on.
