TROUBLESHOOTING
We hope you don't have any problems with your scanner, but if you do, the fol¬
lowing suggestions might help.
Problem
Cause and Solution
Scanner does not function.
Check to see that the scanner is
plugged into a working AC outlet or
DC power source.
Scanner is on but will not scan.
SQUELCH control is not correctly ad¬
justed. Adjust SQUELCH clockwise.
No or poor reception.
• Antenna is not correctly installed.
• The area is not suitable for the
scanner—relocate the scanner and
try again.
• Frequencies are not properly pro¬
grammed—check and reprogram.
In the scanning mode, the scanner
locks on frequencies that have an un¬
clear transmission.
Avoid programming frequencies "Bird¬
ies' listed on Page 19, or only listen to
them manually.
The keys are inoperative or the LCD
display is random.
The CPU is locked up. Reset the
scanner. See 'Resetting and Initializ¬
ing the Scanner.'
If none of the above suggestions help, take your scanner to your local Radio
Shack store for assistance.
