RADIO GENERAL INFORMATION
Radio Broadcast Signals
Your new radio will provide excellent reception under
most operating conditions. Like any system, however, car
radios have performance limitations, due to mobile op-
eration and natural phenomena, which might lead you to
believe your sound system is malfunctioning. To help
you understand and save you concern about these ªap-
parentº malfunctions, you must understand a point or
two about the transmission and reception of radio sig-
nals.
Two Types of Signals
There are two basic types of radio signals... AM or
Amplitude Modulation, in which the transmitted sound
causes the amplitude, or height, of the radio waves to
vary... and FM or Frequency Modulation, in which the
frequency of the wave is varied to carry the sound.
Electrical Disturbances
Radio waves may pick up electrical disturbances during
transmission. They mainly affect the wave amplitude,
and thus remain a part of the AM reception. They
interfere very little with the frequency variations that
carry the FM signal.
AM Reception
AM sound is based on wave amplitude, so AM reception
can be disrupted by such things as lightning, power lines
and neon signs.
FM Reception
Because FM transmission is based on frequency varia-
tions, interference that consists of amplitude variations
can be filtered out, leaving the reception relatively clear,
which is the major feature of FM radio.

Radio Security Code
This radio is equipped with an anti-theft feature which
requires that a four digit code number be entered when-
ever the power supply is interrupted (such as a discon-
nected battery). The four digit code can be found on the
last page of this manual. Please remove this page from
the manual and store it in a safe place outside of the
vehicle.To enter the code, turn the key to the ON or ACC position
and press the ON/VOL control. The word CODE will
appear on the display. Enter your four digit code by
pressing the appropriate preset buttons in sequence. Your
radio is now ready for basic operation.
If an invalid code is entered into the radio, the radio will
allow two more attempts. After a third attempt of enter-
ing an invalid code, the radio will go into a lockup mode.
This is to prevent continuous attempts at entering the
wrong code until the right code is found.
Once a radio is in this lockup mode, it must be in a state
where battery is applied for approximately 30 minutes.
During this time, if the radio is on, the display will show
ªWAITº. After approximately 30 minutes, (radio on)
radio will display ªCODEº thereby again querying the
operator for the 4 digit anti-theft code.
