Resetting your scanner | Radio Shack PRO-2096 instruction

Beyond the Basics

Scanner will not scan when SCAN is pressed:

•Ensure that the scanner has more than one channel programmed and enabled for scanning.

•Adjust SQ properly.

•If the scanner is stopped on a frequency, tighten squelch, apply attenuator, or lock out the “birdie” frequency.

•The scanner may need to be reset or initialized. See “Resetting/Initializing the Scanner”.

Scanner does not receive digital transmissions on digital frequencies or trunking systems:

•The digital channel or talkgroup is not using APCO-25 digital modulation. The scanner can only receive APCO-25 C4FM IMBE digital signals.

•The digital channel or talkgroup is encrypted. The scanner will not receive encrypted trafﬁc.

•The digital channel or talkgroup is being transmitted from a distant location. Reposition the scanner or use an outdoor antenna to improve reception.

resetting/initializing your 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 it. If you have problems with the scanner, ﬁrst try resetting it, which will retain items stored in memory. If that does not work, initialize the scanner. You may be able to save the information in your scanner’s memory to your computer, a V-Scanner folder, or another scanner before initializing it. See “Cloning Programmed Data” on Page 45 and “Using V- Scanner”.

resetting your scanner

1. Turn off your scanner, and then turn it on again.
