TROUBLESHOOTING
If your scanner is not working as it should, these suggestions
might help you eliminate the problem. If the scanner still does not
operate normally, take it to your local Radio Shack store for assis-
tance.
Problem Suggestion
Scanner is on but will not scan. • If SQUELCH MIN/MAX is
adjusted so you always
hear a hissing sound, the
scanner will not scan prop-
erly. Be sure SQUELCH
MIN/MAX is adjusted prop-
erly. See “Turning On the
Scanner and Setting
Squelch” on Page 20.
• Be sure scanner is set to
the scan mode (
MAN-
UAL
is not displayed). See
“Scanning the Stored Chan-
nels” on Page 25.
• Be sure you have stored
frequencies into the scan-
ner’s channels. See
“Searching For and Storing
Active Frequencies” on
Page 21.
Scanner does not work at all. • Replace the batteries with
fresh ones or recharge
them.
• Be sure the AC adapter or
DC cigarette lighter adapter
is connected properly.
Error
appears on the display. You programmed a frequency in-
correctly. Try again.
