SCANNING LEGALLY
Your scanner covers frequencies used by many different
groups including police and fire departments, ambulance
services, government agencies, private companies, am-
ateur radio services, military operations, pager services,
and wireline (telephone and telegraph) service provid-
ers. It is legal to listen to almost every transmission your
scanner can receive. However, there are some transmis-
sions you should never intentionally listen to. These in-
clude:
• 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), as amended, you are subject to fines and possi-
ble 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 (un-
less 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 it is not
legal to listen to. Doing so could subject you to legal pen-
alties.
We encourage responsible, legal scanner use.
