Set Front Port or Set Rear Port

Use this setting to control the data rate used for the front and back panel serial
ports. You typically set the front port to match the speed used to communicate with
your PC (default 115200 bps) and the back port to the speed used to communicate
with an attached GPS (default 4800 bps). Note that the back port is male. You may
need a gender changer and a null modem adapter to use a typical DB9 serial
cable from the rear port.
For Serial Port Speed (Baud Rate), select from
4800 bps
9600 bps
19200 bps

I see first off your screen is upside-down....
To change it:

Set Upside-Down this setting allows you to reverse the display so you can mount the scanner upside-down and hear the speaker from the top.
Scroll to 'Set Upside-down' and press E.
Scroll to On or Off and press E to save and exit.

Press GPS to switch to GPS display mode.

If you disconnect/turn off your GPS unit, you will see 'No GPS Input' in GPS display mode and the scanner will return to scanning any sites/groups that the scanner did not temporary lock out. To restore all sites/groups, cycle the scanner off then on.

Check to make sure you have sites/groups NOT locked out..
