please refer to owner's manual or ElsaWeb for instructions on entering radio pin.
If correct anti-theft code has been entered, display will change to a FM frequency and the radio can be used. If incorrect code is entered, SAFE is
briefly seen in the display changing to 1000 again and one additional attempt to enter correct code is possible.
Unlocking a Locked Radio (SAFE is Displayed)

remain powered on for a specified time.

2. Switch ignition and radio ON for approximately one hour.
