HONDA 2001 Accord Coupe - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 174)

Your car’s audio system will disable
itself if it is disconnected from
electrical power for any reason. To
make it work again, the user must
enter a specific five-digit code in the
Preset buttons. Because there are
hundreds of number combinations
possible from five digits, making the
system work without knowing the
exact code is nearly impossible.
You should have received a card that
lists your audio system’s code
number and serial number. It is best
to store this card in a safe place at
home. In addition, you should write
the audio system’s serial number in
this Owner’s Manual. If you should
happen to lose the card, you must
obtain the code number from your
Honda dealer. To do this, you will
need the system’s serial number.
If you make a mistake entering the
code, do not start over or try to
correct your mistake. Complete the
five-digit sequence, then enter the
correct code. You have ten tries to
enter the correct code. If you are
unsuccessful in ten attempts, you
must then leave the system on for
one hour before trying again.
If your car’s battery is disconnected
or goes dead, or the radio fuse is
removed, the audio system will
disable itself. If this happens, you
will see ‘‘
’’ in the frequency
display the next time you turn on the
system. Use the Preset buttons to
enter the five-digit code. If it is
entered correctly, the radio will start
playing.
You will have to store your favorite
stations in the Preset buttons after
the system begins working. Your
original settings were lost when
power was disconnected.
When the audio system disabled
itself, you can see the eight-digit
audio system serial number on the
display. To display the serial
number:
Turn the ignition switch
ACCESSORY (I) or ON (II).
After you have entered the audio
system’s code number correctly, the
serial number will not be displayed.
You will see the first 4-digit
number on the display for five
seconds, then the next 4-digit
number is shown for five seconds.
You will see 8-digit serial number
in total. This procedure is repeated
once again.
Push the PWR/VOL knob to turn
on the audio system while
pressing the Preset 1 and 6
buttons at the same time.
