Perform the following steps in order to obtain the radio display code:
Important: In order to display this code, the radio should be in the LOC mode or have SEC displayed before proceeding.
- Press and hold the pushbuttons 2 and 3 for approximately 6 seconds until the first 3 digits of the display code are displayed.
- Write the numbers down.
- Press the AM-FM button. The second 3 digits are displayed.
