carried out. Subsequently, when the repaired audio unit is delivered to the final user again, it will be in the
ªNEWº state as to enable re-linking the audio unit to the vehicle's immobiliser system. As a result of the above,
repair of the audio unit can only be done by an authorized Clarion representative.
Service instruction
Item Radio linked with IMMU and/or SECU
Battery disconnection No additional action required
Radio needs repair Repair needs to be done by authorised representative of radio manufacturer since radio
cannot be operated unless it is reset to NEW state, using special decoding equipment
Replacement of radio by new part Radio is delivered in NEW state. If possible, the radio will automatically link up with the
immobiliser system. If this appears not possible, CATS code needs to be manually input
Transferring radio to another vehicle /
replacement of radio by an ªoldº partRadio needs to be reset to NEW state by authorised representative of radio manufacturer
Replacement of IMMU by new part Radio will request for CATS code input prior to establishing the link with the IMMU
Replacement of IMMU by old part If a radio code has already been stored in memory of the IMMU, the radio cannot be
linked to it. After switching on the radio, it will display ªSECUREº after 1 minute. Operation
can only be established after resetting the ratio by an authorised representative of radio
manufacturer
No communication from IMMU to
radioRadio will display ªSECUREº after 180 attempts to communicate with IMMU. Further use
of radio impossible until communication is established again, or after radio is reset by
authorised representative of (radio) manufacturer
CATS code input procedure
1. Radio displays ªCODE INº after the power is switched ON.
2. Enter CATS code (4±digits) by pressing the preset buttons (using 1 to 4).
Press the preset buttons for the necessary amount of times for the number of each digits.
e.g. CATS code is ª5432º
Press No. 1 preset button for 5 times
Press No. 2 preset button for 4 times
Press No. 3 preset button for 3 times
Press No. 4 preset button for 2 times
3. Press the
button.
4. If the code is OK, the radio will power ON.
If the code is NG, the radio will be locked up as below. After the lock up, the radio will display ªCODE INº
again.
1st to 3rd attempt: The radio will be locked for 10 seconds after each attempt
4th to 20th attempt: The radio will be locked for 60 minutes after each attempt
Over 20th attempt: The radio will be locked completely
SPEED DEPENDENT VOLUME CONTROLNLEL0497S02DescriptionNLEL0497S0201If activated, the radio output volume will be automatically adjusted to compensate for increasing driving noises
at higher driving speeds.
The radio receives a speed signal from the vehicle speed sensor (VSS) and selects the output volume.
PERSONAL AUDIO SETTINGSNLEL0497S03DescriptionNLEL0497S0301The radio is designed to store several settings (volume, bass, treble, preset stations and level of speed
dependent volume control) with every NATS ignition key used. Up to a maximum of 4 NATS keys can be reg-
istered. During the communication as mentioned under ªNATS audio linkº, the radio will recognize the used
ignition key and select the accompanying settings.

CD AUTOCHANGERNLEL0385S06Testing Magazines and DiscsNLEL0385S06011. Confirm discs are installed correctly into the magazine (not upside down).
2. Visually inspect/compare the customer's discs with each other and other discs.
Identify any of the following conditions:
+Discs with a large outside diameter. [Normal size is 120 mm (4.72 in).]
+Discs with rough or lipped edges.
+Discs with excessive thickness [Normal size is 1.2 mm (0.047 in).]
+Discs with scratches, abrasions, or pits on the surface.
+Discs with grease/oil, fingerprints, foreign material.
+Discs are warped due to excessive heat exposure.
3. Slide/place the discs in and out of the various magazine positions.
Identify any discs and/or positions that require additional force for placement/ejection. If interference
(sticking, excessive tensions) is found, replace the magazine or the discs.
NOTE:
+Discs which are marginally out of specification (ex. dirty, scratched and so on) may play correctly
on a home stereo.
However, when used in the automotive environment skipping may occur due to the added vehicle
movement and/or vibration due to road conditions. Autochangers should not be replaced when
discs are at fault.
+Use a soft damp cloth to wipe the discs starting from the center outward in radial direction. Never
use chemical cleaning solutions to clean the discs.
Locking CD Changer Unit MechanismNLEL0385S0602CAUTION:
+Prior to removing a malfunctioning CD changer unit that will be shipped for repair, the changer
mechanism MUST BE LOCKED to prevent the mechanism from being damaged during shipping.

+If a CD is jammed or unable to be removed from the unit, do NOT lock the changer mechanism. If
the unit is to be shipped for repair, carefully package the unit to prevent vibration and shock.
1. Eject and remove any CDs from the CD changer unit.
2. Turn ignition switch OFF. Wait until CD changer unit display is off and mechanism stops moving (mecha-
nism sound stops).
3. Press any one of the disc selection buttons once. When a display shows on the CD changer unit, press
the same disc selection button again within 5 seconds.

+If the ignition switch is turned ON or ACC position after the damper locking, it will be unlocked automati-
cally and the damper locking procedure will be required again.
After installing a new or remanufactured CD changer unit, switching the CD changer unit ON will automati-
cally unlock the mechanism. A special unlocking procedure is not required.
