For 2 secs. and then:

_ _- - - - _ _ (RDS side)

After this, the first digit is selected by selecting the corresponding station (1-6). After this the digits from 2 to 4 are selected in the same way.

If the four digits are not completed within 20 seconds, the word 'CODE will appear again on the display for 2 seconds and then '----'. This type of time out is not considered as having entered the incorrect code.

After entering the fourth digit, the radio will start to play.

If an incorrect code is entered, the radio will produce an acoustic signal; the following information will appear on the display:
