Initializing the Scanner to Factory Defaults
If initializing the global parameters to factory defaults does not
resolve your problem, you may wish to initialize the entire scanner
to factory defaults. This operation will result in the clearing of your
programmed data and the loss of any custom changes you have
made to the radio’s global parameters. Use this option as a last
resort, and, if possible, save your working memory to a V-Scanner
folder prior to performing this operation.
Note: This procedure clears all information you stored in the
scanner’s working memory, AND resets the global parameters to
factory defaults. Initialize the scanner only when you are sure the
scanner is not working properly. V-Scanner memory is not affected
when the scanner is initialized.
