C Oding - Opel CDR 500 Instruction Manual

Goding
Secure your unit by coding it. A coded
radio is of no value to the thief. The code
number is to be found in the radio or car
pass.
The coding of the unit is only possible when
the ignition is turned on.
lf the unit is detached from the operating
voltage, for example by removal of the unit
(theft) or detachment of the battery, it is
electronically saf eguarded.
Only you can put the unit back into opera-
tion by entering the correct code (see "Put-
ting the Unit back into Operation", page 33).
Should the theft protection be dispensed
with, e.g. by sale of the unit, it must first be
decoded (see "Decoding the Unit", page 33).
In order that the attempt to put the unit into
operation by trial and err6r be not made,
waiting times take effect following unsuc-
cessful decoding attempts. The number of
remaining decoding attempts is shown on
the display.
During the waiting period, the radio must
remain switched on.

The waiting time after the first two unsuc-
cessful attempts is approximately 20 se-
conds, after which the waiting time increa-
ses to 10 minutes following the third
attempt. Following the ninth unsuccessful
aftempt, the waiting time has reached to
640 minutes.
The unit will lock after the tenth unsuc-
cessful attempl("SAFE'is shown on the
display). A replacement against invoice by
an authorized Opel dealer is then neces-
sary.
It is therefore recommended to let an
authorized Opel dealer put the unit back
into operation after the sixth unsuccessful
attempt.
Check Coding
The following function can be used to
check whether the unit is coded or not.
