RESETTING THE SCANNER

In a few instances, it may be
necessary to reset your scanner:
• the display may lock up after the
installation of new batteries or the
connection to an external power
source, or
• the scanner refuses to enter or exit
a mode.
Consider resetting the scanner only
after ruling out the possibility of low
batteries or incorrect programming.
Resetting the scanner clears all the
programmed modes and functions,
but retains any information stored in
the 10 monitor memories and/or the
200 channel memories.
To reset:
1. Make sure the scanner is ON.
2. Press RESET button on the side of
the scanner with a pointed object,
such as a straightened paper clip,
until the entire display is blank.
If the above steps fail to reset your
scanner, you may have to initialize it.
Do this only if you are sure resetting
the scanner has not worked.
