TROUBLESHOOTING
If your scanner is not working as it should, these suggestions might help you elimi-
nate the problem. If the scanner still does not operate properly, take it to your local
RadioShack store for assistance.
Problem Possible Causes Remedies
The scanner does not
work at all. The AC adapter is not
properly connected. Be sure the AC adapter is
plugged into a working AC
outlet.
The DC power cord or
DC cigarette-lighter
power cord is not con-
nected. Be sure the power cord is ful-
ly inserted into the
DC 13.8V
jack.
Be sure the power cord’s red
wire is connected correctly to
a voltage source and the
black wire is connected cor-
rectly to ground.
Poor or no reception. Improperly connected
antenna. Be sure the antenna is prop-
erly connected.
Scanner is on but
does not scan. SQ is not correctly ad-
justed.
Adjust SQ counterclockwise
(see “Turning On the Scan-
ner/Setting Volume and

In the scan mode, the
scanner locks on fre-
quencies that have an
unclear transmission. Birdies. Avoid programming frequen-
cies listed under “Birdie Fre-
quencies” on Page 25 or only
listen to them manually.
