Are you using a separate 12 volt power pack? which you should use.

Change the batteries to fresh ones. Turn the scope on and do a Calibrate Motors.

This adjusts the motors for the electric voltage being used. Your scope will go crazy when the batteries drop to about 60% of charge. That's why a separate 12 amp hour 12 volt power pack is preferred.
