Pager transmissions
Any scrambled or encrypted transmissions
According to the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA),
as amended, 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).
This scanner is designed to prevent reception of illegal transmissions,
in compliance with the law which requires that scanners be
manufactured in such a way 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 are not
legal to listen to. Doing so could subject you to legal penalties.
In some areas, mobile use of this scanner is unlawful or requires a
permit. Check the laws in your area. We encourage responsible, legal
scanner use.
Care
Your scanner is not waterproof. Do not expose it to rain, moisture,
or extreme high humidity. If the scanner gets wet, wipe it dry
immediately. Use and store the scanner only in normal temperature
environments. Handle the scanner carefully; do not drop it. Keep
the scanner away from dust and dirt, and wipe it with a damp cloth
occasionally to keep it looking new.
Service and Repair
If your scanner is not performing as it should, take it to your
local RadioShack store for assistance. To locate your nearest
RadioShack, use the store locator feature on RadioShack’s website
(www.radioshack.com), or call 1-800-The Shack (800-843-7422) and
follow the menu options. Modifying or tampering with the scanner’s
internal components can cause a malfunction and might invalidate
its warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it.
