FCC NOTICE
Your scanner might cause TV or radio
interference even when it is operating
properly. To determine whether your scanner
is causing the interference, turn off your
scanner. If the interference goes away, your
scanner is causing it. Try to eliminate the
interference by:
• moving your scanner away from the
receiver
• connecting your scanner to an outlet
that is on a different electrical circuit
from the receiver
• contacting your local RadioShack store
for help
If you cannot eliminate the interference, the
FCC requires that you stop using your
scanner.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) this device may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) this device
must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
SCANNING LEGALLY
Your scanner covers frequencies used by
many different groups including police and
fire departments, ambulance services,
government agencies, private companies,
amateur radio services, military operations,
pager services, and wireline (telephone and
telegraph) service providers. It is legal to
listen to almost every transmission your
scanner can receive. However, there are
some transmissions you should never
intentionally listen to. These include:
• telephone conversations (cellular,
cordless, or other private means of
telephone signal transmission)
• pager transmissions
• any scrambled or encrypted
transmissions
According to the Electronic Communications
Privacy Act (ECPA), you are subject to fines
and possible imprisonment for intentionally
listening to, using, or divulging the contents
of such a transmission unless you have the
consent of a party to the communication
(unless such activity is otherwise illegal).
