Coding
Waiting period
So that is not possible to operate the system
or deactivate the coding by trial and error,
there is a waiting period after failed attempts.
During this period, the car radio can be swit-
ched on and off, but does not play.
During the waiting period
the car radio does not have to be switched on.
However, it must be connected to a con-
tinuous voltage of + 12 V. The waiting period
has not expired as long as »SAFE« appears in
the display. The waiting period is over if the
number of the next attempt can be seen in the
display, e.g. »2 - - - -«.
This table shows the waiting times between
the individual attempts.
The waiting period after the 7th attempt is
always 24 hours!
After the 6th
attempt, it is a
good idea to
have an authori-
sed dealer carry
out “putting
back into opera-
tion” or “deac-
tivating coding”.
Deactivating coding
e.g. for removing the car radio:
1. EXPERT mode is switched on and
»SAFE« appears in the display.
Activate the setting: Press the
¢¢
EXPERT
button briefly. »1 - - - -« flashes in the
display.
2. Set the code number as described in the
chapter “Activating coding
” by pressing the
buttons Q

3. Confirm the code no.:
Press the
¢¢
EXPERT button until »CODE«
appears in the display.
The radio plays after approx. 3 seconds.
The coding is no longer activated.
If you enter the wrong code number:
»SAFE« stays in the display and the radio
does not play.
Start again. Observe the waiting time between
attempts.
Putting back into operation
The car radio is electronically protected when
the coding is activated, after it was discon-
nected from the car battery (or permanent
positive terminal 30), e.g. after being in the
repair shop.
1. Switch on the car radio:
In the display you see »SAFE«.
After approx. 3 seconds
»I - - - -« appears in the display. The »I«
indicates the number of entry attempts.
2. Set the code number as described in the
chapter “Activating coding” by pressing the
buttons Q
