What to do if Radio Shack PRO-66 Scanner keys do not work?
If the keys on your Radio Shack Scanner do not work or the display changes at random, reset the scanner.
What to do if my Radio Shack Scanner is on but won't scan?
If your Radio Shack Scanner is on but not scanning, the squelch control might not be correctly adjusted. Try adjusting the squelch clockwise. Alternatively, you may have only one or no channels programmed. Program more than one channel into the scanner.
Why does B flash on my Radio Shack PRO-66 Scanner display?
If 'B' flashes on the display of your Radio Shack Scanner, it means the batteries are weak. Recharge the rechargeable batteries or replace the non-rechargeable batteries.
Why does my Radio Shack PRO-66 have poor or no reception?
Poor or no reception on your Radio Shack Scanner can be due to several reasons. First, check the batteries or ensure the scanner is plugged into a working AC or DC outlet. The environment may not be suitable for reception, so relocate the scanner and try again. Also, make sure the antenna is properly connected.
What to do if my Radio Shack PRO-66 Scanner is totally inoperative?
If your Radio Shack Scanner is totally inoperative, first check the power source. Ensure the batteries are not depleted, or that the scanner is properly plugged into a working AC or DC outlet. Recharge the rechargeable batteries or replace the non-rechargeable batteries. Also, if using an optional AC or DC power adapter, make sure it is fully inserted into the DC 12V jack.
What does it mean if Error appears on the Radio Shack PRO-66 Scanner display?
If 'Error' appears on the display of your Radio Shack Scanner, it indicates a programming error. Reprogram the frequency correctly.
Why does my Radio Shack PRO-66 display dim and sound a tone?
If your Radio Shack Scanner's display dims or it sounds a tone every 15-30 seconds, it could be due to a couple of reasons. Make sure the batteries’ + and – terminals are properly aligned. Alternatively, the batteries may need to be replaced. Insert new batteries or recharge rechargeable batteries.
What to do if Radio Shack Scanner locks on frequencies with unclear transmission?
If, in scan mode, your Radio Shack Scanner locks on frequencies that have an unclear transmission, the programmed frequencies might be the same as “birdie” frequencies. Avoid programming frequencies or only listen to them manually.
