Beyond the Basics
Scanner will not scan when SCAN is pressed:
• Ensure that the scanner has more than one channel
programmed and enabled for scanning.
• Adjust SQ properly.
• If the scanner is stopped on a frequency, tighten squelch,
apply attenuator, or lock out the “birdie” frequency.
• The scanner may need to be reset or initialized. See
“Resetting/Initializing the Scanner”.
Scanner does not receive digital transmissions on digital
frequencies or trunking systems:
• The digital channel or talkgroup is not using APCO-25
digital modulation. The scanner can only receive APCO-25
C4FM IMBE digital signals.
• The digital channel or talkgroup is encrypted. The scanner
will not receive encrypted traffi c.
• The digital channel or talkgroup is being transmitted from
a distant location. Reposition the scanner or use an outdoor
antenna to improve reception.
resetting/initializing your scanner
If the scanner’s display locks up or does not work properly
after you connect a power source, you might need to reset
or initialize it. If you have problems with the scanner, fi rst try
resetting it, which will retain items stored in memory. If that
does not work, initialize the scanner. You may be able to save
the information in your scanner’s memory to your computer,
a V-Scanner folder, or another scanner before initializing it.
See “Cloning Programmed Data” on Page 45 and “Using V-
Scanner”.
