Theft-Deterrent Feature
THEFTLOCK" is designed to discourage theft
of
your
radio. It works by using
a
secret code to disable all radio
functions whenever battery power is removed.
The
THEFTLOCK feature for the radio may be used or
ignored. If ignored, the system plays normally and the
radio
is
not protected by
the
feature.
If
THEFTLOCK
is
activated, your radio will not operate if stolen.
When THEFTLOCK is activated, the radio will display
LOC
to indicate a locked condition anytime battery
power is removed. If your battery loses power for any
reason,
you
must unlock the radio with
the
secret code
before it will operate.
