I washed my scoot the other day and ever since, my KIV-700 won't come on but instead just says PROTECTED on the screen. I didn't spray the gauge side of the fairing and was careful to not get water on he radio. Some overspray did end up on it but I wiped it off immediately. Any help greatly appreciated.

 

Does it have a 'security' code ?? I would unhook the battery for about 10 minutes,..........then re-try it.

 

I have the same radio, you must have locked it.

How to reset your unit
If this unit or the connected unit (auto disc changer, etc.) fails to operate properly, reset the unit. While pressing the [Volume] **** and the [MENU] button, press the [SRC] button for at least 3 seconds. The unit returns to factory settings when the reset operation is complete.
SRC MENU Volume

You can call with your model vin and they will give you a four digit code to unlock it.
