Paging transmissions
Any intentionally decoded 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).
This scanner has been designed to prevent reception of illegal transmissions. This is done to
comply with the legal requirement that scanners be manufactured so 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 illegal to monitor. Doing so
could subject you to legal penalties.
We encourage responsible, legal scanner use.
In some areas, mobile use of this scanner is unlawful or requires a permit. Check the laws in
your area. It is also illegal in many areas to interfere with the duties of public safety officials by
traveling to the scene of an incident without authorization.
