Suggestion

 

 

 

Scanner won’t work.

1.

Check the connections at both ends of

 

the AC Adapter.

 

 

 

 

2.

Turn on the wall switch of your room. You

 

 

could be using an outlet controlled by the

 

 

wall switch.

 

 

 

 

3.

Move the AC Adapter to another wall

 

 

outlet or replace the batteries.

 

 

 

Improper reception.

1.

Check the antenna connection or move

 

and reposition the antenna.

 

 

 

 

2.

Move the scanner.

 

 

 

 

3.

You may be in a remote area which could

Review each channel’s frequency to see

 

 

if it is still stored in memory and is correct.

 

 

 

 

5.

It’s possible that none of the programmed

 

 

frequencies are currently active.
