Important:
After the 1st wrong entry of the code number, the display shows:
" 9 - - - - ".
After 10 seconds, the display shows:
" 9 S A F E ".
If you have entered a wrong code two times, 4 dashes will be
shown in the display for about 10 minutes together with the number
of remaining attempts to enter the code.
If you have entered a wrong code, do not turn the unit off until
"SAFE" and the number of remaining attempts for code entry
is shown in the display.
If you have entered a wrong code 10 times, the following appears
on the display:
" D E A L E R ".
