Try doing a reset, using the keyboard, per the Additional Information section (pp 97-99 of the -106 manual, probably about the same in the -197) of the manual. Then reload the scanner with the last data file you saved. HTH.
Both things can happen if you insert or remove the external power cable while the scanner is ON, May need to reload scanner. If your configuration was saved in one of the V scanners, reloading is easy to do.

Cool!
If you left it unplugged while on vacation, the CPU might have lost its settings and reset itself. That's all it may have needed.
