Coding
Waiting periods
To prevent deactivation of the coding being
possible by trial and error, waiting periods are
required between attempts. During these wait-
ing periods, the car radio can be switched on
and off but will not play.
During the waiting period
the car radio needs not be switched on, but
it must be connected to the per12 V
voltage. As long as the display indicates
"
SAFE
", the waiting period has not yet elapsed.
The waiting period is over when the number
of the next attempt is visible in the display,
e.g. "
2 - - - -
".
