FCC NOTICE

Your scanner might cause radio or TV interference even when it is operating properly. To determine if your scanner is causing the interference, turn off your scanner. If the interference goes away, your scanner was 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 electri- cal circuit from the receiver

Contacting a RadioShack store for help

If you cannot eliminate the interfer- ence, the FCC requires that you stop using your scanner.

SCANNING LEGALLY

Your scanner covers frequencies used by many different groups includ- ing police and fire departments, ambu- lance services, government agencies, private companies, amateur radio ser- vices, military operations, pager ser- vices, 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 (either cellular, cordless, or other private means of telephone signal trans- mission)

Pager transmissions

Any scrambled or encrypted transmissions

According to the Electronic Communi- cations Privacy Act (ECPA), you are subject to fines and possible imprison- ment for intentionally listening to, us- ing, or divulging the contents of such a transmission unless you have the con- sent of a party to the conversation (un- less such activity is otherwise illegal). RadioShack encourages responsible, legal scanner use.
