This scanner has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
scanning receiver, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in
a residential installation. This scanner generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
There is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this scanner does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the scanner on
and off, you are encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
• Increase the separation between the scanner and the receiver
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject
to the following two conditions: 1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and 2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Scanning Legally
Your scanner covers frequencies used by many different groups,
including police and fire departments, ambulance services, government
agencies, private companies, amateur radio services, military operations,
pager 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 that 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 conversation unless you have
the consent of a party to the conversation (unless such activity is
otherwise illegal). This scanner has been designed to prevent the
reception of cellular telephone transmissions and the decoding of
scrambled transmissions.
