The documentation of your car radio
This documentation contains the model, the serial number and the security 
code.
The serial number is identical to the number engraved on the side of the 
equipment chassis.
The radio card certifies ownership of the equipment, helps the police search 
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.

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.

Entering the code electronically prevents the apparatus from being switched

In this case, when the radio is switched on, “SAFE” is shown on the display.
Only when the correct code is entered can the car radio be switched on again.

dealer -having checked the ownership of the car radio- is able to restart the 
apparatus.
