scanning receiver, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are 

designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in 

a residential installation. This scanner generates, uses, and can radiate 

radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the 

instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
There is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular 

installation. If this scanner does cause harmful interference to radio or 

television reception, which can be determined by turning the scanner on and 

off, you are encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the 

following measures:

•   Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna

•   Increase the separation between the scanner and the receiver

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject 

to the following two conditions: 1) This device may not cause harmful 

interference, and 2) this device must accept any interference received, 

including interference that may cause undesired operation.

SCANNINg LEgALLY

Your scanner covers frequencies used by many different groups, including 

police and fire departments, ambulance services, government agencies, 

private companies, amateur radio services, military operations, pager 

services, 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 that you should never intentionally listen to. 

These include: 

•   Telephone conversations (cellular, cordless, or other private means of 

telephone signal transmission) 

•   Pager transmissions 

•   Any 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 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
