Your scanner can receive all of these
bands:
FCC NOTICE
Your scanner might cause radio or TV
interference even when it is operating
properly. To determine if your scanner
is causing the interference, turn off
your scanner. If the interference goes
away, your scanner was causing it.
Try to eliminate the interference by:
• Moving your scanner away from
the receiver
• Connecting your scanner to an
outlet that is on a different electri-
cal circuit from the receiver
• Contacting a RadioShack store for
help
If you cannot eliminate the interfer-
ence, the FCC requires that you stop
using your scanner.
SCANNING LEGALLY
Your scanner covers frequencies
used by many different groups includ-
ing police and fire departments, ambu-
lance services, government agencies,
private companies, amateur radio ser-
vices, military operations, pager ser-
vices, 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 you
should never intentionally listen to.
These include:
• Telephone conversations (either
cellular, cordless, or other private
means of telephone signal trans-
mission)
• Pager transmissions
• Any scrambled or encrypted
transmissions
According to the Electronic Communi-
cations Privacy Act (ECPA), you are
subject to fines and possible imprison-
ment for intentionally listening to, us-
ing, or divulging the contents of such a
transmission unless you have the con-
sent of a party to the conversation (un-
less such activity is otherwise illegal).
RadioShack encourages responsible,
legal scanner use.
