User's Manual

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 transmission unless you
have the consent of a party to the communication (unless such activity is otherwise illegal).
This scanner has been designed to prevent reception of illegal transmissions. This is done to comply with the
legal requirement that scanners be manufactured so as to not be easily modifiable to pick up those
transmissions. Do not open your scanner’s case to make any modifications that could allow it to pick up
transmissions that it is not legal to listen to. Doing so could subject you to legal penalties.
We encourage responsible, legal scanner use.
PREPARATION
INSTALLING BATTERIES
You can power your scanner with three AA batteries (not supplied).
Notes
. Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly.
. Do not burn or bury batteries.
. Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.
. Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or
rechargeable batteries of different capacities.
. If you do not plan to use the scanner for a month or more, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak
chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.
You can use either the black non-rechargeable battery holder or the yellow rechargeable battery holder (both
supplied) to hold the batteries. If you use the yellow battery holder, we recommend nickel-cadmium or
nickel-metal hydride batteries (not supplied).
Warning: Never install non-rechargeable batteries in the yellow rechargeable battery holder.
Non-rechargeable batteries can get hot or explode if you try to recharge them.
1. Press down on the battery compartment cover then slide the cover in the direction of the arrow to remove
it.
2. If you are using non-rechargeable batteries, place them into the black holder, as indicated by the polarity
symbols (+ and -) marked on the holder. Or, if you are using rechargeable batteries, place them into the
yellow holder as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and -) marked on the holder.
