- Place the radio with the front panel toward you and bottom side / speaker 
side UP.
  
   - Remove the (4) screws located in each corner.
  
   - CAREFUL!  Go slow, you will need to disconnect the speaker cable while removing the cover.
  
Look at the lower right hand corner of the main printed circuit board.
    - You should see a silver crystal with the number "D196D3C" printed on it.
  
   - Just above the crystal, you should see an (8x8) matrix pad (see below diagram).

  Note: there are ONLY (2) resistors in place. (Bottom right and the one directly above it).
  
    - REMOVE BOTH RESISTORS  [Do NOT attempt this unless you know how to use a low wattage soldering iron]
  
 
  
  
  - RESET THE RADIO,  hold the [SET LOCK] and [S.MW-MW] buttonsdown during 
power-up.
