FCC Notice

Your scanner might cause radio or TV 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
the following methods to eliminate the interference:
Move your scanner away from the receiver.
Connect your scanner to an outlet that is on a different electrical circuit
from the receiver.
Contact your local RadioShack store for help.
In some areas, mobile use of a scanner is unlawful or requires a permit.
Check the laws in your area.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject
ot the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful
interference. (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), 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).
This scanner is designed to prevent reception of illegal transmissions, in
compliance with the law which requires that scanners be manufactured in
62
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.
We encourage responsible, legal scanner use.

Care

Keep the scanner dry. If it 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.
