- 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).

- 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.
