disconnecting power from pro96

[suejives]

Hello everyone, Is it a good idea to shut down the radio before unplugging or plugging in the ac/dc power supplies. also when using in the car should the unit be unplugged from the power before starting the car?
thanks in advance

Yes it is a good idea....I have noticed that when my pro-96 is turned on and then I plug it in, it stops recieveing. It will continue to scan but will not recieve anything! As for unplugging it, it should be shut off before. This will protect the scanner from any defects.

1) Always Plug the power cord in before turning the scanner on

2) Always turn the scanner off before unpluging

3) I have not seen anything go wrong when it is in the truck and turned on and then the engine being started..but if you should see anything then you should start your vehicle with the scanner turned off.

Eric, thanks for the info. That is what I thought

On mine the radio will reboot if I plug it in or unplug it while it is turned on.

Mine also, this can't be good for the radio, so I make sure I turn it off before doing either.
