the new battery is the same ( side

transmitter. Avoid severe shock to the trans-
mitter, such as dropping or throwing
it. Also, protect it f rom extreme hot

If your car’s battery is disconnected
or goes dead, or the radio f use is
removed, the audio system will
disable itself . If this happens, you
will see ‘‘Code’’ in the f requency
display the next time you turn on the
system. Use the Preset buttons to
enter the f ive-digit code. If it is
entered correctly, the radio will start
playing.
If you make a mistake entering the
code, do not start over or try to
correct your mistake. Complete the
f ive-digit sequence, then enter the
correct code. You have ten tries to
enter the correct code. If you are
unsuccessful in ten attempts, you
must then leave the system on for
one hour bef ore trying again.You will have to store your favorite
stations in the Preset buttons after
the system begins working. Your
original settings were lost when
power was disconnected.
Your car’s audio system will disable
itself if it is disconnected f rom
electrical power f or any reason. To
make it work again, the user must
enter a specif ic f ive-digit code in the
Preset buttons. Because there are
hundreds of number combinations
possible f rom f ive digits, making the
system work without knowing the
exact code is nearly impossible.

number and serial number. It is best
tostorethiscardinasafeplaceat

the audio system’s serial number in
this Owner’s Manual. If you should
happen to lose the card, you must
obtain the code number f rom your
Honda dealer. To do this, you will
need the system’s serial number.
