Preparing the Radio for Operation

Every time the radio is disconnected from the vehicle power supply, the
battery is disconnected, or even if the radio fuse blows, the radio must be
re-coded to make it operational.

Turn the radio on - "SAFe" is displayed on the frequency display

Press the AM/FM BAND SELECTOR and SCAN BUTTON and hold them down together
until "1000" appears in the frequency display.

After the "1000" display goes out, enter the factory code or secret personal
code using the first four station buttons.  Use the 1 button to set the
first digit of the four digit code, button 2 to set the second, etc.  Press
each button the number of times needed to enter that digit.

Finally, press the AM/FM BAND ELECTOR and then the SCAN BUTTON and hold them
down together until a frequency appears in the display.  The radio is ready
for operation.

At the factory, the radio is programmed with the code number 1111.

This code  works for my radio.

It would take an uptight dork to bother messing with this annoying system
more than absolutely necessary, but if a previous owner had changed the
code, he should have written it down in several places.

I hope this helps.
