If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop using your scanner.

SCANNING LEGALLY
Your scanner covers frequencies used by many different groups including po- lice and fire departments, ambulance services, government agencies, private companies, amateur radio services, mili- tary operations, pager services, and wireline (telephone and telegraph) ser- vice providers. It is legal to listen to al-
most every transmission your scanner can receive. However, there are some transmissions you should never inten- tionally listen to. These include:
•telephone conversations (cellular, cordless, or other private means of telephone signal transmission)
•pager transmissions
•any scrambled or encrypted trans- missions
According to the Electronic Communica- tions Privacy Act (ECPA), you are sub- ject to fines and possible imprisonment for intentionally listening to, using, or di- vulging the contents of such a transmis- sion unless you have the consent of a party to the communication (unless such activity is otherwise illegal).
This scanner has been designed to pre- vent reception of illegal transmissions. This is done to comply with the legal re- quirement that scanners be manufac- tured 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 it is not legal to lis- ten to. Doing so could subject you to le- gal penalties.
We encourage responsible, legal scan- ner use.
