The PRO-71 VHF/UHF/Air Handheld Scanner lets you in on all the action!  This
scanner gives you direct access to 23,000 exiting frequencies that include
police department, fire department, ambulance, aircraft, amateur radio and
transportation services.  You can select up to 100 channels for your scanner
to scan and you can change your selection at any time.

The secret to your scanner's ability to scan so many frequencies is its
customer-designed microprocessor - a tiny, built-in computer.  Your scanner
also has these special features.

LARGE LIQUID-CRYSTAL DISPLAY
Lets you easily see displayed information.

SEARCH SKIP
Lets you select up to 20 frequencies for the scanner to skip during a limit
or direct search to avoid unwanted frequencies.

FREQUENCY SEARCH
Scans through every available frequency.

TEN CHANNEL-STORAGE BANKS
Lets you store 10 channels in each of ten banks to group frequencies and help
you identify calls.

MONITOR MEMORIES
Lets you temporarily save up to ten channels you locate during a frequency
search.

TWO-SECOND AUTOMATIC SCAN DELAY
Delays scanning for 2 seconds before moving to another channel, so you can
hear more replies.

MEMORY BACKUP
Keeps the channel frequencies stored in memory for up to one hour during a
power loss.

LOCK-OUT FUNCTION
Keeps the channels you select from being scanned.

PRIORITY CHANNEL
Lets you specify your most important channel and check it every two seconds
so you don't miss important calls.

WEATHER BAND KEY
Scans seven preprogrammed weather frequencies so you can hear about current
weather conditions.

DISPLAY BACKLIGHT
Makes the scanner easy to read in low light situations.

Your scanner can receive these bands:

FCC NOTICE

Your scanner might cause TV or radio interference even when it is
operating properly.  To determine whether your scanner is causing the
interference, turn off your scanner.  If the interference goes away, your
scanner is 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 electrical
  circuit from the receiver.

  contacting your local RadioShack store for help.

If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop
using your scanner.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.  Operation is subject
to the following two conditions:

  (1)  This device may not cause harmful interference and

  (2)  This device must accept any interference received, including
       interference that may cause undesired operation.

SCANNING LEGALLY

Your scanner covers frequencies used by many different groups including
police and fire 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), 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.
