Care; Service And Repair; Scanning Legally - Radio Shack iSCAN PRO-18 User Manual

Care

Your scanner is not waterproof. Do not expose it to rain, moisture, or
extremely high humidity. If the scanner gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
Use and store the scanner only in normal temperature environments. Handle
the scanner carefully; do not drop it. Keep the scanner away from dust and
dirt, and wipe it with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new.

Service and Repair

If your scanner is not performing as it should, take it to your local
RadioShack store for assistance. To locate your nearest RadioShack, use the
store locator feature on RadioShack's website (www.radioshack.com), or call
1-800-The Shack (800-843-7422) and follow the menu options. Modifying or
tampering with the scanner's internal components can cause a malfunction and
might invalidate its warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it.

Scanning Legally

Your scanner covers frequencies used by many different groups, including police,
fire and ambulance services, government and military agencies, and amateur radio
services. It is legal to listen to almost every transmission your scanner can receive.
However, there are some transmissions you should never intentionally listen to:
• 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), as amended, 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).
iScan is designed to prevent reception of illegal transmissions, in compliance with
laws that require that scanners be manufactured in such a way as to not be easily
modifiable to pick up those transmissions. Do not open your scanner's case to make
any modifications that could allow it to pick up transmissions that are not legal to
listen to. Doing so could subject you to legal penalties.
In some areas, mobile use of this scanner is unlawful or requires a permit. Check the
laws in your area. We encourage responsible, legal scanner use.
