FAQs (Frequently Asked
Questions)
The scanner is not working at all. What’s wrong?
The AC or DC adapter or DC cable might not be
connected. Be sure the adapter/cable’s barrel plug is
fully inserted into the PWR DC 13.8V jack. The center
tip of the adapter/cable’s barrel plug must be set to
positive.
The scanner does not receive any stations or
reception is poor. What’s wrong?
The scanner might need to be reset or initialized. Insert
a pointed object into the reset hole on the back of the
scanner, or initialize the scanner (see”Initializing your
Scanner”).
The scanner is on but does not scan. What’s wrong?
The squelch might not be adjusted correctly. Turn SQ
clockwise. There might only be one channel or no
channels stored in the scanner. Store frequencies into
more than one channel.
While scanning, the scanner locks on frequencies that
have an unclear transmission. What’s wrong?
Some frequencies programmed into the scanner
might be the same as “birdie” frequencies. Avoid
programming “Birdie Frequencies” or only listen to
them manually.
