Use the PIN code system 20 It is your own choice whether or not to activate the PIN code system. However, if you choose to activate the system, your BeoSound 1 is protected against theft with a fourdigit PIN code. The use of a PIN code means that if your BeoSound 1 is disconnected from the mains for more than 30 minutes, the system can only be activated again by keying in your own personal PIN code. If the PIN code is not entered, the BeoSound 1 automatically switches to standby after 3 minutes.

However, for security reasons it is only possible to change the PIN code five times within a period of 3 hours. You must enter your current PIN code before changing the code. You can deactivate the PIN code system at any time. All you need to do is enter your PIN code first and then you can deactivate the system.
