Scanning Legally
Your scanner covers frequencies used by many dierent
groups including police and re 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 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), as amended, you are subject to nes 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 is designed to prevent reception of illegal
transmissions, in compliance with the law which requires
that scanners be manufactured in such a way as to not be
easily modiable to pick up those transmissions. Do not
open your scanner’s case to make any modications that
could allow it to pick up transmissions that are not legal to
listen to. Doing so could subject you to legal penalties.
In some areas, mobile use of this scanner is unlawful
or requires a permit. Check the laws in your area. We
encourage responsible, legal scanner use.
