GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
Before you use this scanner, please read and observe the following:
Earphone Warning
You can use an optional 32Ω stereo headset or earphone with your scanner. Use of an incorrect
earphone or headset might be potentially hazardous to your hearing. The output of the phone jack
is monaural, but you will hear it in both headphones of a stereo headset.
Set the volume to a comfortable audio level coming from the speaker before plugging in the
earphone or headset. Otherwise, you might experience some discomfort or possible hearing
damage if the volume suddenly becomes too loud because of the volume control or squelch
control setting. This might be particularly true of the type of earphone that is placed in the ear
canal.
Liquid Exposure Warning
Uniden does not represent this unit to be waterproof. It is water resistant to JIS level 4. To reduce
the risk of damage to this product, minimize exposure of this unit to rain or moisture. This product
is not warranteed against water damage
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 that 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
conversation unless you have the consent of a party to the conversation (unless such activity is
otherwise illegal). This scanner has been designed to prevent the reception of cellular telephone
transmissions and the decoding of scrambled transmissions. This is done to comply with the
legal requirement that scanners be manufactured so they are not easy to modify to pick up these
transmissions. Do not open your scanners case to make any modifications that could allow it
to pick up transmissions that are illegal to monitor. Modifying or tampering with your scanners
internal components or using it in a way other than as described in this manual could invalidate
your warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. In some areas, mobile and/or
portable use of this scanner is unlawful or requires a permit. Check the laws in your area. It is
also illegal in many areas (and a bad idea everywhere) to interfere with the duties of public safety
officials by traveling to the scene of an incident without authorization.
