scanner can receive. However,
there are some transmissions 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
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.
Mobile use of this scanner is
unlawful or requires a permit in
some areas. Check the laws in
your area.
