RESTORING TO OPERATION
If the radio is disconnected from the car power supply (e.g. when servicing), it is protected electronically
with the code active.
1. Turn on the radio: the message «SAFE» appears on the display, «1 - - - -« appears after more than 3
seconds. The «1» marks the number of input attempts.

The radio switches on after about 3 seconds.

come on and the procedure must be repeated completely. Respect the waiting times between
one attempt and the next, as indicated below.
W A R N I N G : waiting times
To make it impossible to restore the radio to operation and deactivate the code by repeated, suc­
cessive attempts, specific waiting times must be left between attempts.
The radio must not be switched on during the standby time.
It must still be connected to the power supply
As long as the message "SAFE" is on the display, the waiting time is not over.
The waiting time is up when the number of the next attempt can be seen on the display
(e.g. "2 ").
The following table shows the waiting times between attempts:
