Default S40 Stereo System Upgrade

My S40 came with a cassette player, model HU-415. I recently upgraded to a cassette and CD player model HU-615. When I pluged it in if said "OFF" and it did not ask for the code. Do I need to reset the stereo? How do I do this? I have the code I just need for the system to ask me for the code.

Thank you,

Default RE: S40 Stereo System Upgrade

This is from the Owner's Manual and applies to both HU-415 and HU-615:

Anti-theft code
The radio features anti-theft circuitry. If the set is removed from the vehicle or if the battery power is disconnected, a special code must be entered to enable operation of the set.
Refer to the radio code card supplied with your vehicle. Volvo recommends that you store your radio code card in a safe place.
To enter the code
After installation or when the set has been disconnected from power, the set displays "input CODE ****" when it is switched on. Enter the 4-digit code using the 1-20/DISC ****. Select a number for a digit by rotating the 1-20/DISC ****. And then push the **** to enter the number. Repeat the procedure for all 4 digits.
If the correct code is entered the set is ready to use.
If you enter an incorrect code you must enter the correct code again from the beginning.
Incorrect code
If an incorrect code has been entered "Error" is displayed. Enter the correct code. After three unsuccessful coding attempts the set will lock and remain locked for two hours. "OFF" is displayed.
During this waiting period:[*]the battery must be connected[*]the ignition key must be turned to position I >LI? the unit must be turned on Make sure the headlights are turned off to help prevent battery drain.
Enter the code again once 2 hours have elapsed.
