      If your Uniden Radio scanner isn't working, it might not be getting power. Check that the AC adapter is properly connected to both the AC outlet and the scanner. When connected, the display should light up and cycle if you repeatedly press the [VOL] button. Also, if the AC outlet is controlled by a wall switch, ensure that the switch is turned on.
