Theft-Deterrent Feature
The Radio with Cassette and CD and the Radio with
Cassette and Six-Disc CD have a theft deterrent feature.
The theft deterrent feature is designed to discourage
theft of your vehicle’s radio. It works by using a secret
code to disable all radio functions whenever battery
power is interrupted.
The theft deterrent feature for the radio may be used or
ignored. If ignored, the radio plays normally and the
radio is not protected by the feature. If the theft deterrent
feature is activated, the radio will not operate if stolen.
When the theft deterrent feature is activated, LOCK will
appear on the radio display to indicate a locked condition
anytime battery power has been interrupted. If the battery
loses power for any reason, you must unlock the radio
with the secret code before it will operate.
