code.
The serial number is identical to the number engraved on the side of the 
equipment chassis.

in case of loss, and accelerates the handling of the claim by the insurance 
company.
Remove the card from the radio and keep it in a safe place. Never leave it in 
the car.

disconnected from the battery (for example: when replacing the battery at the 
workshop) the apparatus will be blocked electronically.
Only the introduction of the correct code number will unlock the radio.
WARNING
•The equipment will turn on automatically when a CD is inserted.
•At the same time the antenna will be extended.
