digit ID code for security. Once the ID code has been set,
the unit cannot be operated if the main power supply is
disconnected then re-connected. It is electronically locked
so that a thief cannot use the stolen unit unless that per-
son knows the code you have set.
The ID code operation must be performed only by the
person to whom the unit belongs.
Generally, it is not necessary to enter the ID code each
time when using the unit if it has not been disconnected
from the main power supply (car battery).
