Theft protection system / Release panel
Care of the control panel
After you have removed the release panel,
protect it from any form of rough handling.
Make sure it does not come into contact with
any type of fluids. Store it away from direct
sunlight and other sources of heat. The con-
nection contact strip which is visible on the
rear side of the panel must be in perfect
condition to ensure that the system is able
to function properly.
It is highly advisable to store the control
panel in the protective case provided.
Fixing the release panel
To prevent unauthorised persons from re-
moving the release panel, e. g. from a car
audio systems showroom, you can fix the
release panel to the chassis permanently to
lock it into place. Screw the enclosed bolt
into the hole on the left hand side of the unit
when the release panel is in place, see ar-
row.
To best protect your car audio system from
theft, this unit has been equipped with a de-
tachable control panel.
Detaching the release panel
Press the REL button on the top left of the
radio to release the control panel. Then re-
move the panel. You can remove the panel
regardless of whether the unit is switched
off or on.
Attaching the release panel
Slide the panel into the guide points on the
right of the radio unit and then press the left
side into the locking position gently until it
snaps into place. Make sure that you do not
press directly on the display.
The audio system will switch on in the ope-
rating mode last used before the panel was
removed.
