FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

The scanner is not working at all. What’s wrong?

• The AC or DC adaptor might not be connected. Be sure the adaptor’s barrel

plug is fully inserted into the DC 9V jack. The center tip of the adaptor’s

barrel plug must be set to positive.

The scanner does not receive any stations or reception is 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 Scanner” on Page 26).

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 frequen-

cies into more than one channel.

While scanning, the scanner locks on frequencies that have an unclear

transmission. What’s wrong?

• Some frequencies programmed into the scanner might be the same as

“birdie” frequencies. Avoid programming “Birdie Frequencies” or only listen

to them manually.

IN CASE OF FAULT

Where a fault arises, contact your supplier. However, before you do so check
