thought id put my new battery on my scorp today ... after the alarms stopped going off, and everything else settled down, i thought "that wasnt to bad"... and then i switched the radio on to put the code in .. All i got was a blank screen?? everything lights up as it should , the screen is lit up , but it is blank... nothing at all on it .
i keyed in the code to see if it worked but it stays blank... nothing happens ..
iv never put a code in one of these before .. its a 7000 RDS EON... what have i done wrong  it was working fine untill i took the battery off ??
many thanks in advance

Hi this appears to be a common problem with these radios, the LCD fails. Some people have had some success restoring it by removing the radio and storing it in a nice warm place, like an airing cupboard, overnight.
Entering the code is easy, there are manuals HERE. But you do need to be aware that if the code has been entered incorrectly a couple of times it will lock you out for half an hour before allowing you to re-enter the code.
