SAFE radidio

[Steve Sears]

Hi Bob,
As others have stated, you have to try again after leaving the radio on. 
Make sure that if you're doing this with the radio out of the car (didn't 
say that you had installed it already), you should have power to the 
constant power supply and the switched power.
Cheers!
