The AC or DC adapter might not be connected. Be sure the
adapter’s barrel plug is fully inserted into the PWR DC 9V
jack. The center tip of the adapter’s barrel plug must be
set to positive. The batteries might be dead or need to be
recharged. Recharge the rechargeable batteries or replace
the standard batteries.

poor. What’s wrong?
The scanner might need to be initialized. Turn the scanner off
then on again, or initialize the scanner (see “Initializing the
Scaner”).
The scanner is on but does not scan. What’s wrong?
The squelch might not be adjusted correctly. Turn SQ
clockwise. There might only be one channel or no channels
stored in the scanner. Store frequencies into more than one
channel. The keylock might be turned on. Turn off keylock.
