Entering Radio Code

[mbshebman]

I am the newest owner of a 2003 SLK230. I can't figure out how to enter the radio code. My radio unit continually flashes the CODE signal, but the entire unit does not respond to my attempts to enter the number. It just continually flashes CODE. How did I get it to recognize the input procedure? Thanks for any advice.

after entering the code/digit, try pressing an ENTER key or channel selection button. there are variations on a theme, depending on the model.

From the Owners manual
�� Using the buttons on the alpha-numer-
ic keypad, enter the five digit code.
�� Confirm by pressing the OKkey.
If an incorrect code has been entered and
confirmed, CODE will reappear on the dis-
play. The correct code must be entered
once again.
If an incorrect code is entered three times,
WAIT will appear on the display and the ra-
dio will be locked out for about ten min-
utes.

The lock out time will only count down
if the radio is left switched on.

Raymond g,

Thanks for the reply. My problem is just to "enter" the code. The unit is completely unresponsive. I can push numeric buttons until the cows come home, but the display continues to just say "CODE" with a flashing "C".

Pressing a numeric button followed by any of the "soft" keys does not seem to have any effect.


leapyfish,

I would like the manual to be more clear on this so that I would not have to ask for help.



Thanks guys, but my problem remains.
