I think you will find that even if you take out the radio it might still function when you put it back because you didn't mention the word "code." However here are some instructions for you anyway:
To activate the security code keep the "up" button depressed, switch on the radio and wait until a two tone beep sounds. The code is now activated. The word "code" (only the word itself) appears then each time you switch on the radio but only very briefly.
To deactivate:
Depress the "up" button and keeping it depressed, turn on the radio until the word "code" appears. You enter your correct code which are 4 digits all on a card you may have. When the code is deactivated a two tone beep will sound. If you fail to enter the correct code the first time you will have to do it again by re-entering it.
Coming back to the activating stage.
The radio was, right from the start, issued with the 4 digit code together with the unit's serial number - lets hope you still have it!!
My Japanese version did not have a code activated, by the way, and is not cumpulsory unless you're afraid it might get stolen, of course. If the word "code" has never actually appeared in the radio window, there was never one actuated in the first place and the radio will always work even after taking it out!.
When you put back the radio and the word "code" appears permantently in the window, then your code has been lost and it will not work so you must re-enter the 4 digits, as I said above, then the word "code" will appear just for a brief moment and indicates that all is well again.
Hope this is of help! If you have the RV8 owner's handbook, it is all clearly printed out on pages 32 and 33!! |
