e that no other nearby radio or TV sets are turned on near the scanner. Search every frequency
range from its lowest frequency to the highest. Occasionally, the searching will stop as if it has found a
signal, often without any sound. This is a birdie. Make a list of all the birdies in your scanner for future
reference.
Care
Your scanner is not waterproof. Keep the scanner dry and away from water. Do not wash the scanner
with a wet cloth or pour fluid into the scanner. If the scanner gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Use and
store the scanner only in normal temperature environments. Handle the scanner carefully; do not drop
it. Keep the scanner away from dust and dirt, and wipe it with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it
looking new.
Service and Repair
If your scanner is not performing as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance. To
locate your nearest RadioShack, use the store locator feature on RadioShack’s website
(
www.radioshack.com
), or call 1-800-The-Shack (800-843-7422) and follow the menu options.
Modifying or tampering with the scanner’s internal components can cause a malfunction and might
invalidate its warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it.
The radio design of the tuning, control and filtering circuitry on the receiver is controlled by the serial
data from the firmware code in the microprocessor, which is built-in to the microprocessor as a part of
its internal design. Since the microprocessor information is inaccessible to the user, any attempts to
modify the radio’s circuitry to change these characteristics of the radio’s design will cause the radio to
fail.
