ten to almost every transmission your scanner can re- ceive. However, there are some electronic and wire communications that are illegal to intentionally intercept. These include:

•telephone conversations (cellular, cordless, or other private means of telephone signal transmission)

•pager transmissions

•scrambled or encrypted transmissions

According to the Federal Electronic Communications Pri- vacy Act (ECPA), as amended, you could be fined and possibly imprisoned for intentionally listening to, using, or disclosing the contents of such a transmission unless you have the consent of a party to the communication (unless such activity is otherwise illegal). These laws change from time to time and there might be state or lo- cal laws that also affect legal scanner usage.

POWER SOURCES

You can power your scanner from any of three sources:

•internal non-rechargeable batteries or rechargeable batteries (not supplied — see “Using Batteries” on Page 10)

•standard AC power (with an optional AC adapter — see “Using AC Power” on Page 13)

•vehicle power (with an optional DC adapter — see “Using Vehicle Power” on Page 14)

Notes:

•Connecting an AC or DC adapter to the scanner dis- connects internal batteries when you use the sup- plied non-rechargeable battery holder, but it does not disconnect internal batteries when you use the supplied rechargeable battery holder.
