Code Security Function

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 Code Security
function. Turning off the power during the procedure will
deactivate the security code setting.
Once the code security function has been activated, "SECURITY"
disappears from the MENU system. Note that it will no longer be
possible to cancel this function afterwards.
1
Select 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).

have selected in step 1.
