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 has been designed
to prevent reception of illegal
transmissions. This is done to
comply with the legal requirement
that scanners be manufactured so
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
penalties.
We encourage responsible, legal
scanner use.
