then you have tuned to an image.
Occasionally, you might get interference on a weak or distant channel from a strong transmission

whenever there is a transmission on the actual frequency.
RESETTING/INITIALIZING THE 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 the scanner.
Important: If you have problems, first try to reset the scanner (see “Resetting the Scanner.” If that
does not work, you can initialize the scanner (see “Initializing the Scanner”); however, this clears all
information stored in your scanner’s memory.
Resetting the Scanner
1. Turn off the scanner, then turn it on again.
2. Insert a pointed object, such as a straightened paper clip, into the reset opening on the rear of the
scanner. Then gently press the reset button inside the opening.
Note: If the scanner still does not work properly, you might need to initialize the scanner (see
“Initializing the Scanner”).
