Issue
Solution
The scanner does not scan.
Cause:
The squelch might not be
adjusted correctly.
One channel or no channels
stored in the scanner.
Turn SQ clockwise.
Save more frequencies into channels.
Error message appears
when trying to upload or
download from a computer.
Cause:
Your computer is using
Windows XP and does not
have the necessary USB
cable driver.
Download and install the “Windows
XP Driver to resolve PC connection
error” file
from
your scanner’s
Product Support page or the
Software Download page on
www.RadioShack.com.
Then make your connection and try
again. Be sure the correct COM port
is selected in device manager.
Birdie Frequencies
All scanners have signals created inside the scanner’s receiver.
These birdie frequencies can interfere with transmissions on the
same frequencies. If the interference is not severe, you might be
able to turn SQ clockwise to omit the birdie.
To find the birdies:
1.
Disconnect the antenna and move it away from the scanner.
Make sure that no other nearby radio or TV sets are turned on
near the scanner.
2.
Start a search of every frequency range from its lowest
frequency to the highest. When the search stops, often without
any sound, this is a birdie.
3.
Make a list of all the birdies in your scanner for future reference.
Initializing the Scanner

you connect a power source or install batteries, you might need to

This procedure clears the scanner’s memory.
Initialize the scanner only after trying all other methods to
correct issues.
