Press and release the Function button then press the Power / Light button.
Bob that does not work on my SDS100
SDS100 Keypad Lock
I wrote my bcd436hp profile to my sds100 by accident, and it had the keypad locked. Re-wrote the correct model profile to it to correct the problem.

The SDS100 needs some form of Keypad Lock or at least be able to Lock the Scroll Knob to only adjust Volume like on the 436HP when the keypad is Locked.
I was monitoring and recording a Police chase this morning and had the radio on a Channel Hold. Had to take the dog out for a walk, decided to take the scanner and slipped it in my pocket. Then I realized that the radio was silent. Pulled the radio out of my pocket and realized than the Scroll Knob had change the Channel Hold to a different Talk Group.
So whether or not there is an actual "Keypad Lock" feature enabled, there should at least be a way lock the Scroll Knob to avoid a problem like I had today with the radio on a Channel/Talk Group Hold.
UPMan are you listening??
Other votes for at least a Scroll Knob lock feature as the keys are hard to inadvertently bump/hit.

I need a keyboard lock.. Missing that feature in a big way.
Such a trivial code change to accomplish such an important feature to have gone this long without it.

Decision - Keypad Lock feature or able to properly follow trunking radio traffic??
I kind of see the priority, but lets hope the Keypad Lock feature shows up SOON.

Agreed. Get the perfomance bugs worked out first.
Seems Uniden is working hard at this with the frequent Beta F/W releases.
Just received my SDS100 yesterday & noticed this lack of feature today. Decided I can live without it, my SDS is in a protective case so it's hard to inadvertantly press any keys let alone intentionally press them with my finger :-D
