Scanner should match radio station, but if you have a defective Tunecaster I am sure it is under warrenty. It helps to read manual if it came with one. Hope this helps. Jim

You put two batteries in the charger on one side. One of the lights should come on.

Go to your local car parts store and buy a 40 dollar scanner it will do the same thing . I bought the innova , not impressed

This is a terrible product and failed after about 2 uses. I recommend you buy another portable scanner. To answer your question: these type of scanners only scan one side at a time.

We returned this scanner. Ordered one, worked for 10 minutes powered off and could not turn back on. Returned and ordered another - same thing! Maybe they got a bad batch - not sure. But what are the chances of that happening twice. We went with the hand held Uniden Trunk Tracker IV and love it. Good luck.

I only had to plug it in. Try it in 3 different locatoons. If it's still dead, contact the seller.

No workaround sorry you need a new battery. The batteries on these radios only last a year if you use them regularly. It may appear to be charging when off but it only holds a small charge. Look at the dock if the light is blinking for an extremely long time time to replace it

You can connect the scanner to your PC with the USB cable if you do not want to put into any battery. Thanks.

There is a fuse in the part that plugs in the plugin. You may want to see if the fuse is blown.

I has to be plugged in. I was not very happy with this scanner. It has to be cleaned constantly to prevent the little white lines that appear on the scans. I just bought a Doxie scanner.

leave them connected unless you feel there is a short, something drawing current, in the system. in older vehicles where there are no clocks or electronics you can remove the negative cable and put a 12 volt, pull fues test lamp with one lead on the negative battery post and the other on the cable , if it lights something is on, pull fuses until the light goes out

The Scanner has an on-off button located at the bottom right side of the key pad. This key is used to turn the unit on and off. To turn it on just push the button, I usually hold it in over one second. To turn it off just hold the on/off key in 5 seconds, and the light goes off. Enjoy

This is what I do. I turn the scanner on. I tap Menu, then Advanced Menu. I tap Set Charge Time. It comes up to the default 14 Hour, 2300 Mah, then I tap Accept. Then I tap Listen, and plug in the charging cable. The battery symbol in the upper right corner changes to a lightning bolt, indicating that it is charging. Then the scanner can either be left on or turned off, it charges either way. If the batteries aren't fully discharged, I leave it on charge for no more than 7 hours. That keeps the batteries from getting too hot. When I am ready to take it off the charger, I make sure the scanner is turned on, and the battery charging symbol is the lightning bolt. Then I unplug it from the charger. Whenever I have unplugged the charger with the scanner turned off, I get an error message saying to take the batteries out for one minute and then put them back in. That does fix the problem, but avoid it, always make sure the scanner is turned on when connecting or disconnecting the charger. A better way to do it is to just change to a separate set of batteries every week or two and charge the used ones in a separate charger that doesn't let them get too hot.

It is sitting right next to my scanner; I get on RFI from it. I use it as battery backup for my alarm system.

The scanner is powered over USB, so for a vehicle you would first need a laptop, then scan it over USB to the laptop, but for that you would need a direct power line in your vehicle, or a 12V to 120V power converter to keep the computer charged. I also do not believe the scanner has local storage if you have a standard usb charger for a car that you could use
