Resetting your scanner

If the scanner's display locks up or stops operating properly, you might need
to reset the scanner.
Caution: This procedure clears all the information you have stored in
the scanner. Before you reset the scanner, try turning it off
and on again to see if it begins working properly. Reset the
scanner only when you are sure it is not working properly.
1. Turn off the scanner.
2. While holding down 2, 9 and PSE, turn on the scanner. "Initializing... Please wait"
appears for about 5 seconds as the scanner clears its memory.
Note: Do not turn off the scanner again until "Initializing... Please wait"
disappears. Otherwise, the scanner might not clear its memory
properly.
Follow these steps to restore the 278 preprogrammed frequencies stored in
the private bank.
1. Make sure your scanner is turned off.
2. Press 3 and ENT/PGM simultaneously while turning on the scanner.
After several seconds, the scanner restores the frequencies.
