Why doesn’t my keypad work?

The keylock function is activated. To turn off the keylock, press / KEYLOCK until disappears.

Why is ﬂashing?

Recharge the rechargeable batteries or replace the alkaline batteries.

Why am I getting poor or no reception?

Batteries are weak or completely discharged.

Check the batteries or make sure the AC adapter or DC adapter is connected properly.

Make sure an antenna is connected to the scanner.

Why does Error appear?

Programming error: re-enter the frequency correctly, including the decimal point.

Why won’t my scanner track a trunked system?

The transmission might not use a system that can be tracked by your scanner.
