I got this from the web, maybe it will hel you......
----- start ------
Here are some non-printed tricks you can do with your older SC150 scanners.

Battery Check - With power off, hold down WX and L/O buttons and turn power
back on.
Will show battery indicator and digital read-out of battery voltage. A
reading of 1.70 to
1.95 will show if power is connected, 1.60 to 1.66 with power disconnected
and fully charged
battery, and a reading of 1.40 and under should give you a low battery
warning.
Press SCAN button to return to normal operation.

NOTE: The following features will ERASE the scanner memory and reset to
default status.

Rest to default - With power off, hold down 2, 9, and HOLD buttons and turn
power back on.
Will clear all presets and lock-outs and set the scanner to default status.

Read-out Diagnostics - With power off, hold down 2, 9, and L/O and turn
power back on.
Will run a visual loop of all LCD read-outs on the screen. Run Reset to
Default feature to
return to standard operation.

Test Frequency Memory - With power off, hold 2, 9, and PRI buttons and turn
power back on.
Will put the following frequencies in memory channels 1 through 21
(*=Priority Channel):
1.)30.0500* 2.)40.8400 3.)49.9000 4.)138.1500 5.)162.4000 6.)173.2250
7.)406.8750 8.)453.2500 9.)511.9125 10.)108.5000 AIR 11.)118.8000 AIR*
12.)127.1750 AIR 13.)135.5000 AIR 14.)157.8000 15.)482.3625 16.)29.0000
17.)54.0000 18.)806.0000 19.)857.2000 20.)911.5000 21.)954.9125*
Will also work using 2, 9, and SCAN buttons.
Run Reset to Default feature to erase memory again.

Alternate Test Frequency Memory - With power off, hold 2, 9, and (.) button
and turn power
back on. Will put the following frequencies in memory channels 1 through 17
(*=Priority
Channel):
1.)30.0000* 2.)40.0000 3.)50.0000 4.)140.0000 5.)155.0000 6.)170.0000
7.)410.0000 8.)460.0000 9.)510.0000 10.)54.0000 11.)109.0000 AIR*
12.)118.0000 AIR 13.)127.0000 AIR 14.)135.0000 AIR 15.)810.0000 16.)860.0000
17.)950.0000
Run Reset to Default feature to erase memory again.

----- end ------

Hopefully you have also a SC150 scanner.

Goodluck,
Robert

Hi Dave,

Nice to hear your problem is solved. Only shame is that all memory is
cleared now, so you have to re-program everything that was in the memory.

Good luck scanning!!!

Robert
