The FCC Wants You To Know
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. This is done 
to comply with the legal requirement that scanners 
be manufactured so they are not easy to modify to 
pick up these transmissions. Do not open your 
scanner’s case to make any modifications that could 
allow it to pick up transmissions that are illegal to 
monitor. Modifying or tampering with your scanner’s 
internal components or using it in a way other than 
as described in this manual could invalidate your 
warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it.
In some areas, mobile use of this scanner is 
unlawful or requires a permit. Check the laws in your 
area. It is also illegal in many areas (and a bad idea 
everywhere) to interfere with the duties of public 
safety officials by traveling to the scene of an
incident without authorization.
