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 you should never intentionally listen
to.
These include:
Telephone conversations (either 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 transmission unless you have
the consent of a party to the communication (unless such activity is
otherwise illegal). Radio Shack encourages responsible, legal scanner
use.

POWER SOURCES
You can power your scanner from any of three sources:
Internal batteries or a rechargeable scanner battery pack
Standard AC power
Vehicle battery power using an optional DC cigarette lighter adapter
Notes:
Connecting an AC or DC adapter to the scanner disconnects any internal
batteries, but it does not disconnect a rechargeable battery pack. If
you install a rechargeable battery pack, you can operate the scanner
and recharge the battery pack at the same time. See "Using Batteries"
and "Charging a Rechargeable Battery Pack" below.
If the scanner stops working properly after you connect it to power,
try resetting it. See "Troubleshooting," Faxback Doc. # 38258.
Using Batteries
You can power your scanner from six AA batteries. For the longest
operation and best performance, we recommend alkaline batteries, such as
Radio Shack Cat. No. 23-552. You can also power the scanner using a
rechargeable scanner battery pack, such as Cat. No. 23-288.
You can also use six rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries
