RESETTING/INITIALIZING THE 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.

!

IMPORTANT

If you have problems with the scanner, first try to reset it to retain all memory. If that does not work, you can initialize the scanner.

You may be able to save the information in your scanner’s memory into your computer, a

V-Scanner folder or another scanner before trying to initialize it. See “Cloning the

Programmed Data” on Page 78 and “Working with V-Scanners” on Page 71.

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.

Note

•

Pressing the reset button does not clear the scanner’s working memory or the

V-Scanner folders.

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 from dust and dirt, and wipe it with 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.
