Safe mode stuck

I have the same issue. Followed instructions on manual but punched the wrong code 1 too many times. Tried to wait 45min to 1hr still on Safe mode. Not sure what to do.
Can anyone help please?

Unfortunately, I tried to punch in my anti-theft coding using only the first button instead of the first four buttons.

I was able to reset it once or twice, repeated the same mistake, and now the Concert is completely unresponsive to any button inputs.

I checked the fuse and disconnected all power etc. connections for several hours, but this didn't reset the Concert. Only thing I can do now it turn power on and off (display just says SAFE).

Did you leave it powered on? It won't reset and allow you to renter the code if its not left on .
