Long shot but has a previous owner put the code on the radio chassis?

Contact Dave DND - he can decode them from the serial number for a small fee.

What are you calling "SAFE"mode ?

Have you used up all of your attempts by inputting wrong numbers? If so, expect a very hefty bill - or have you simply omitted to turn the ignition on and follow the correct code entry sequence?

It just says safe and won't do anything else!so I'm guessing he used up all the attempts!is best to get a new ccr700?

Read the link I sent, it explains about SAFE

and as far as your other question about sticking them in a freezer, have a look here

SAFE with  no number means it is not seeing the ignition feed - I`d be checking round the back of the radio with a meter if you have already tried turning the ignition key

Ice man, do your self a favor and get a good battery on it. you cant do much with out a decent power supply to it, as  Dave pointed out it might not be seeing good voltage to the feed on the radio. then see what the display says.
