Hey AMC!

So i replaced my clutch a few days ago (running beautifully), and had to disconnect battery for obvious reasons. Now we all no, when we disconnect the battery, all stock Mitsubishi head units will ask for a radio code upon startup. Now, having to remember to many different methods of inputting these codes into the many types of head units, i put my code in the wrong way on my car 3 times in a row, and now the display is showing something like this (- - -). In the manual, it reckons..

Should this number be incorrect again, the display will show - - - and the unit must remain connected to power for 1 hour before another attempt to enter the correct number can be made.

Does this mean, i need to leave my car key in the ACC position for an hour? Thats the only thing i can think of at the moment.
I could wait until work again on monday, and fix it then, but i wouldnt mind some music for the rest of the weekend!

My head unit:
