OWNER’S MANUAL BC246T OWNER’S MANUALPrecautions PrecautionsPrecautions Contents ContentsContents Entering/Editing Conventional Channel GroupsContents Using the Close Call FeatureThe FCC Wants You to Know The FCC Wants You to KnowScanning Legally 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 scanner’s case to make any modifications that could allow it to pick up transmissions that are illegal to monitor. Modifying or tampering with your scanner’s 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 The FCC Wants You to KnowIntroduction IntroductionFrequency StepIntroduction 50.0-54.0General Feature HighlightsFeature Highlights Feature Highlights Dropout Delay – You can set whether the scanner pauses at the end of a transmission to wait for a reply.
