Pro-97 20-527 scanner

To unlock your Radio Shack Pro-70 Scanner, you can try the following steps:

1. Turn off the scanner by pressing and holding the "Power" button until the scanner turns off.
2. Press and hold the "Func" button while turning on the scanner again. Keep holding the "Func" button until the scanner finishes its power-up routine and the display shows "Program."
3. Use the number buttons to enter the four-digit unlock code. If you don't know the unlock code, try entering "0000," which is the default code for many Radio Shack scanners.
4. Press "E" to confirm the code. If the code was entered correctly, the scanner should now be unlocked and you should be able to access all functions.

If the above steps do not work, try resetting the scanner to its factory defaults. To do this, turn off the scanner, then press and hold the "2," "9," and "MAN" buttons while turning on the scanner again. Keep holding the buttons until the scanner displays "Factory Test." Press the "Func" button to confirm the reset.
If none of these steps work, it's possible that there is a hardware issue with the scanner and it may need to be serviced or replaced.

Turn printer 'OFF'.
Hold Cancel button and start/Copy button at the same time.
Turn printer 'ON'.
Release the buttons after display shows "Permanent Storage Init".
Wait till the display shows "Ready"

reset it one more time and let the scanner boot before you do any thing else chill out for while dont be so egor

I'm guessing that the display shows "wired" and not "luired." This mode, along with the code, is supposed to clear when the computer programming cable is disconnected. If you don't have a cable connected, your only option is to RESET the scanner to its original factory settings. Just a caution: resetting the scanner will erase/delete all programmed information -- you will have to reprogram all of the data that you've previously entered. To RESET the PRO-94:

1. Turn the scanner OFF.
2. While holding down the 2 and 9 keys, power the scanner ON. The message "CLEAR" will flash for about 5 seconds while the scanner resets.

NOTE: Do not turn the scanner OFF until "CLEAR" stops flashing.

You may have inadvertently locked the keyboard. If a key-shaped icon is showing on the display, press and hold the FUNC and KEYLOCK keys until the icon disappears. If that doesn't work, you may need to reset the scanner to restore normal operation. NOTE: this operation will delete all information that you have programmed into the scanner. To RESET the PRO-83, power the scanner OFF. Press and hold the 2, 9 and HOLD keys, and power the scanner ON. After about three seconds, CLEAr should appear on the display to confirm the RESET.

If all else fails, you can RESET or INITIALIZE the scanner to bring it back to normal operation.

To RESET:
- Power the scanner OFF
- Power the scanner back ON
- Insert a pointed object (paper clip, penpoint, etc.) into the RESET hole on the back of the scanner
- Gently press and then release the RESET button inside the hole.

NOTE: RESET will NOT erase the data that you've programmed into the scanner.

If RESET doesn't clear the problem, you can carry out the more drastic INITIALIZE process.

- Power the scanner OFF
- Power the scanner back ON
- Press 0 after the scanner completes its boot routine
- Press 1 after the menu appears
- Press ENT

DO NOT power the scanner OFF until the INITIALIZE process is complete (M000 and Bank 0 Ch 00 appear on the display). The INITIALIZE procedure will reset the scanner to original factory settings and erase all data that you have programmed.

Performing a RESET will not clear/erase frequencies or other data programmed into the scanner. If the RESET doesn't work though, you may need to INITIALIZE the scanner. That procedure will clear all programmed data and return the scanner to its "as new" state. Need the manual for your PRO-82? You canb download/print it here:
