The power button on a Cablescan QS-200S may not stay down and could pop back up if the instrument is not properly grounded. According to the manual, the instrument will not operate reliably unless it is properly grounded through the offset pin of the power cable when plugged into an appropriate receptacle.

@Mr. Anderson
I plugged it into another outlet, and the button stays down. Now it doesn’t display anything.

QS-200 Instruction Manual GENERAL DESCRIPTION The Cablescan Model QS-200S provides a versatile method of identifying and terminating cable and harness assemblies. Its use eliminates the need for color-coding, number stamping or tagging, and 'ringing out' with buzzers or ohmmeters. This production identification tool has the ability to rapidly search wires using the operator's fingertips.
POWER REQUIREMENTS The QS-200S operates on line voltages of 104-126 and 208-252 V~, 50-60 Hz. A label on the back panel indicates the correct voltage for the unit. CAUTION: To avoid instrument damage, the power transformer must be wired correctly before applying line power;...
Used to position the front panel for operating convenience. SCAN INPUTS: Four connectors J1 (1-50), J2 (51-100), J3 (101-150), J4 (151- 200), are inputs to the QS-200S for the cable or harness being identified. TONE: A pulsating audio tone will sound when the preselected wire has been activated by body conductance.
PRESELECT interlocked mode switches. SCAN MODE With the SCAN switch depressed, the QS-200S operates with a short dwell time. If a single wire is contacted, the display will show the coded number corresponding to the wire contacted. (The code is determined by the interface cable assembly connecting the wire network to the QS-200S).
J1 and J2 on the scanner assembly to the rear panel. The scanner assembly may then be placed component side up in front of the QS-200S. The second scanner can be removed in the same manner. If complete detachment is necessary, unplug the cable assembly from the scanner assembly.
