With the scanner off, press and hold the 2, 9, and HOLD keys. While still holding them down, power on the scanner. Continue to hold the 2, 9, and HOLD keys until the display says CLEAR.

Heads up that in some countries / States this can carry severe penalty.

I cannot give any direct information and it up to you to make sure you apply to the laws of your state etc

A good source of information are the two sites below

Frequencies

Scanner software

With any luck you will also find either the manual or a link to it there as well as quite a lot of other useful information that would give you guidance as to the legality

SOURCE: how to program radio shack pro 82 scanner

is it a digital scanner? You know that everyone has gone digital there fore making that kind of scanner outdated and if you are trying to listen to police u wont pick anything up. I was told that some raido shacks will re program it for you.

Turn it on, and when "Welcome" appears, press zero, then press one. It will display a message indicating it is initializing to the factory state.

Initialized and cleared without being backed up
Initializing erases/deletes all user-programmed information and resets the scanner to its original factory settings - see page 83 of your owners manual. There is no backup function associated with the initialing procedure unless you have saved your data to a computer file or another scanner. You will need to re-enter your programming data.

THE WORD WIRED IS ON SCREAN
WIRED should only appear on the screen if you have a programming interface cable connected to the scanner. Assuming that you do not have the cable connected, you'll need to RESET the scanner to clear it and restore it to normal operation. This process will erase/delete everything that you've programmed into the scanner, so be prepared to reprogram it. To RESET the PRO-83:
- Power the scanner OFF
- Press and hold the 2, 9, and HOLD keys and power the scanner ON
- The word CLEAr will display to confirm the RESET

Locked on search
You may have inadvertently locked the keyboard. If a key-shaped icon is showing on the display, press and hold the FUNC and KEYLOCK keys until the icon disappears. If that doesn't work, you may need to reset the scanner to restore normal operation. NOTE: this operation will delete all information that you have programmed into the scanner. To RESET the PRO-83, power the scanner OFF. Press and hold the 2, 9 and HOLD keys, and power the scanner ON. After about three seconds, CLEAr should appear on the display to confirm the RESET.

Need to do a master reset on pro 84 sanner but don't have manual
To RESET the PRO-84, turn the scanner OFF, then hold in the 2, 9 and HOLD keys and power the scanner ON. The word CLEAr will appear on the display to confirm the RESET.
While the manual for the PRO-84 has not been posted by Radio Shack, it is essentially a red PRO-83. You can download/print the 83 manual here:

How do I do a master reset on the pro 83 scanner
To reset the scanner (clear a problem or keyboard lockup):
- Tune the power OFF and then back ON.
- Insert a pointed object (paper clip, ballpoint pen tip, etc) into the RESET opening on the side of the scanner and gently press the button inside.

If the RESET does not clear the problem you can INITIALIZE the scanner, but this procedure will clear/erase all information that you have programmed into the scanner.
- Power the scanner OFF and then ON.
- Press and hold the TUNE/CLEAR button while pressing the reset button as above. The display will momentarily blank.
- When the display resumes, press TUNE/CLEAR again.

If all else fails, you can RESET or INITIALIZE the scanner to bring it back to normal operation.

To RESET:
- Power the scanner OFF
- Power the scanner back ON
- Insert a pointed object (paper clip, penpoint, etc.) into the RESET hole on the back of the scanner
- Gently press and then release the RESET button inside the hole.

NOTE: RESET will NOT erase the data that you've programmed into the scanner.

If RESET doesn't clear the problem, you can carry out the more drastic INITIALIZE process.

- Power the scanner OFF
- Power the scanner back ON
- Press 0 after the scanner completes its boot routine
- Press 1 after the menu appears
- Press ENT

DO NOT power the scanner OFF until the INITIALIZE process is complete (M000 and Bank 0 Ch 00 appear on the display). The INITIALIZE procedure will reset the scanner to original factory settings and erase all data that you have programmed.
