RESETTING THE SCANNER
If the scanner’s display locks up or does not work properly after you
connect power, you might need to reset the scanner. 
Caution: This procedure clears all the information you have stored into
the scanner (such as frequencies and car numbers). Before you reset
the scanner, try turning it off and on to see if it begins working properly.
Reset the scanner only when you are sure it is not working properly.
1. Turn off the scanner.
2. While you hold down the
2
and
9
keys, turn on the scanner.
If you still have problems after resetting the scanner, take it to your lo-
cal RadioShack store.

Re-enter the frequency

While scanning, the 
scanner locks on 
frequencies that 
have an unclear 
transmission.
Stored frequencies 
are the same as 
“birdie” frequencies.
Avoid storing frequen-
cies listed under “Birdie 
Frequencies” on 
Page 41, or only listen to 
them manually.
