Frequency Conversion 81 To convert from kHz to MHz, divide the number of kilohertz by 1,000: 127.800 (kHz) / 1,000 = 127.8 MHz To convert MHz to meters, divide 300 by the number of megahertz: 300/50 MHz = 6 meters
Troubleshooting 82 TROUBLESHOOTING ProblemPossible CauseRemedy Scanner is totally inoperative.The AC or DC adapter is not connected.Be sure the adapters barrel plug is fully inserted into thePWR DC 9Vjack. Batteries have failed Recharge the rechargeable batteries or replace the stan- dard batteries Poor or no reception.An antenna is not connected or is connected incorrectly.Be sure an antenna is properly connected to the scanner. Programmed frequencies are the same as “birdie” frequencies.Avoid programming frequencies listed under “Birdie Frequencies” on Page 69 or only listen to them manually. The keypad does not work.Keylock is turned on. Turn off keylock. The scanner might need to be reset or initialized.Turn the scanner off then on again, or reset/ initialize the scanner (see “Resetting/ Initializing the Scanner” on Page 83). The scanner is on but will not scan.SQUELCHis not correctly adjusted.TurnSQUELCH clockwise. Only one channel or no channels are stored.Store frequencies into more than one channel. During scanning, the scanner locks on frequencies that have an unclear transmission.Programmed frequencies are the same as “birdie” frequencies.Avoid programming frequencies listed under “Birdie Frequencies” on Page 69, or only listen to them manually.
Resetting/Initializing the Scanner 83 RESETTING/ INITIALIZING THE SCANNER If the scanners display locks up or does not work properly after you connect a power source, you might need to reset or initialize it. ! RESETTING THE SCANNER 1. Turn off the scanner, then turn it on again. 2. Insert a pointed object, such as a straightened paper clip, into the reset opening on the side of the scanner. Then gently press and release the reset button inside the opening. Pressing the reset button does not clear the scanners memory. INITIALIZING THE S CANNER 1. Turn off the scanner, then turn it on again. Welcome To Dual Trunking appears.! 2. Press0then1whileWelcome To Dual Trunking appears. Initializing Please Wait.appears for about 2 seconds. Do not turn off the scanner until the initialization is complete. When the initialization is complete M000 appears on the top line of the display. Bank 0 Ch 00appears on the bottom line. ! IMPORTANT ! Resetting/ Initializing the Scanner If you have problems with the scanner, first try toresetittoretain all memory. If tha tdoes not work, you can initialize the scanner. Youcansavethe information in your scanner’s memory into your computer or another scanner before trying to initialize it. See “Transferring Data to and from Another Scanner or a PC” on Page 15. Initializing the Scanner This procedure clears all information youstoredinthe scanners memory. Initialize the scanner only when you are sure the scanner is not working properly .
Care 84 CARE Keep the scanner dry; if it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Use and store the scanner only in normal temperature environments. Handle the scanner carefully; do not drop it. Keep the scanner away fromdustanddirt,andwipeitwith a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Modifying or tampering with the scanner’s internal components can cause a malfunction and might invalidate its warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. If your scanner is not performing as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance. SPECIFICATIONS Frequency Coverage (MHz) 25–54 ........................
