Anti-theft code The radio features anti-theft circuitry. If the set is removed from the vehicle or if the battery power is disconnected, a special code must be entered to enable operation of the set. Your Volvo retailer will supply you with this code.

NOTE: Volvo recommends that you store the radio code in a safe place.

A red LED will flash when the key had been removed from the ignition to confirm that the anti-theft circuitry has been activated.

To enter the code After installation or when the set has been disconnected from power, the set displays ”COdE” when it is switched on. Enter the 4-digit code using the preset buttons. If the correct code is entered, ”on” is displayed and the set is ready to use. If you enter an incorrect code you must enter the correct code again from the beginning.

3901144A

Incorrect code If an incorrect code has been entered ”rPt” is displayed. Enter the correct code. After three unsuccessful coding attempts the set will lock and remain locked for two hours. ”OFF” is displayed. During this waiting period: • the battery must be connected • the ignition key must be turned to position I • the unit must be turned on Make sure the headlights are turned off to help prevent battery drain (please refer to page 20
for information on turning the headlights off). Enter the code again once this time has elapsed.

RBDS, Automatic tuning Radio Broadcast Data System - (RBDS) The SC-901 radio is equipped with an advanced system allowing information from broadcasters to be transmitted inaudibly together with the audio signal. This information is then decoded by the SC-901
and made available for several new and unique features. The RBDS or Radio Broadcast Data System operates in the FM band only, and the information transmitted is supplied by participating broadcasters. Volvo has no control over the accuracy of the data or information. Please refer to pages 175-179
regarding specific descriptions and operation of these functions. Volvo was among the first to pioneer this technology throughout Europe and it is slowly making its way to North America. Coverage by local broadcasters may be limited at this time, but as the technology and benefits grow, you will find the SC-901 radio ready to take advantage of this system.

Automatic tuning This feature may not apply in your area. If you tune into a station using RBDS, the frequency is displayed followed by the name of the station in letters. The AF function ensures that the radio automatically tunes into the most powerful transmitter for the selected program. Keep the FM button pressed down for at least two seconds. ‘AF Switch OFF’ appears in the

As soon as the announcement is over, the previous volume will be restored and the tape or CD will start to play again.

• Traffic information can only be received

when TP is displayed.

• If TP is flashing, it means that either no traffic information is being broadcast by the current transmitter or the signal is too weak. After approximately 70 seconds, an audible signal will be heard, indicating that you should change to a stronger TP transmitter. To turn off this signal: - Turn the radio off - Press and hold down the TP button and turn the radio on. By pressing the TP button again, you can turn the TP alarm on or off.
