Troubleshooting If your BC860XLT is not performing properly, try the following steps. Problem Suggestion Scanner won't work • Check the connections at both ends of the AC Adapter. • Turn on the wall switch of your room. You could be using an outlet controlled by the wall switch. • Move the AC Adapter to another wall outlet. Improper reception • Check antenna connection • Move or angle the antenna. • If programmed frequency is higher than 406 MHz, a shorter antenna length may improve the reception. • Relocate the scanner. • You may be in a fringe area. This could require an optional multi-band antenna. Check with your dealer or local electronics store. Scan won't stop • Adjust squelch threshold - refer to page 10, Setting the Squelch. • Check the antenna connection. • Check to see if many of the channels are locked out. If so, the scanner has less chance of finding an active channel. • Review each channel's frequency to see if it is correct and no memory has been lost. • Possibly, none of the programmed frequencies are currently active. Scan won't start • Press the Scan key again. • Adjust the Squelch control. • Check to see if 99 channels are locked out. If so, all but one channel is locked out.
