7.2 Theft prevention and Password
Every ALPHAMFD is identified by a unique, unchangeable serial number (can be
called up in SET-Mode 40). Every customer receives an alphanumeric password with
his ALPHAMFD. The theft prevention function is not activated by default. It can be
activated in SET-Mode 30. For this you have to enter the password. Serial number and
corresponding password are printed on the back cover of this operating manual and on
your original invoice.
7.2.1 Password Function "Off"
SET-MODE >OFF<
The password is deactivated, the ALPHA

pressing the <ARROW> keys and scrolling through the alphabet. Arrow up scrolls
through the letters and arrow down scrolls through the numbers. After entering each
letter/digit confirm by pressing <ENTER/MEMO> and the instrument will jump to the
next character. After entering the 5

entered. "AAAAA" is displayed same way as mentioned above.
