Theft-Deterrent Feature
(Non-RDS Radios)
THEFTLOCK@ is designed to discourage theft of your
radio. The feature works automatically by learning
a portion of the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). If
the radio is moved to a different vehicle, it will not
operate and LOC will be displayed.
With THEFTLOCK@ activated, your radio will not
operate if stolen.
Theft-Deterrent Feature
(RDS Radios)
THEFTLOCK@ is designed to discourage theft of your
radio. The feature works automatically by learning
a portion of the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). IT
the radio is moved to a different vehicle, it will not
operate and LOCKED will be displayed.
When the radio and vehicle are turned off and RAP is
not active, the blinking red light indicates that
THEFTLOCK is armed.
Understanding Radio Reception
AM
The range for most AM stations is greater than for FM,
especially at night. The longer range, however, can
cause stations to interfere with each other. AM can pick
up noise from things like storms and power lines. Try
reducing the treble to reduce this noise if you ever get
it.
FM Stereo
FM stereo will give you the best sound, but FM signals
will reach only about 10 to 40 miles (1 6 to 65 km).
Tall buildings or hills can interfere with FM signals,
causing the sound
to
come and go.
XMTM Satellite Radio Service
XMTM Satellite Radio gives you digital radio reception
from coast to coast. Just as with FM, tall buildings
or hills can interfere with Satellite radio signals, causing
the sound to come and go. Your radio may display
"NO SIGNAL" to indicate interference.
With THEFTLOCK activated, your radio will not operate
if stolen.
