Very helpful

Mary you can try initalizing the scanner by doing the following:

INITIALIZING THE SCANNER

If the scanner's display locks up or does not work properly after you
connect to power, follow these steps to initialize the scanner.

Caution: This procedure clears all information in the scanner's memory.
Initialize the scanner only when you are sure the scanner is not
working properly.

1. Turn off your scanner by turning VOLUME toward OFF until it clicks.

2. Press and hold 2, 9, and */CLEAR, then turn VOLUME toward MAX to turn
on the scanner.

Which came of Radio Shacks web site, They don't have the manual there as
you said but there is some info about features etc and this was in the
installation section

Hoep it helps a bit
