Your new RadioShack PRO-66 50-Channel Direct Entry Programmable Scanner
lets you in on all the action!  This scanner gives you direct access to
more than 28,000 frequencies that include the police department, fire
department, ambulance, amateur radio, and transportation services.  You
can select up to 50 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 custom-designed microprocessor - a tiny, built-
in computer. Your scanner also has these special features: 

8-Digit Liquid Crystal Display - shows channel and frequency numbers as
                                 well as mode and status indicators. 

50 Programmable Channels - let you store frequencies into the scanner's
                           memory.

Band Search - lets you search the frequency bands for active frequencies,
               and direct the search upward or downward through the bands.

Direct Search - lets you search from the current frequency. 

Lockout Function - lets you set your scanner to skip over specified
                   channels while scanning. 

Search Skip - lets you select up to 20 frequencies for the scanner to skip
              during a band or direct search to avoid unwanted
              frequencies.

Monitor Memory - lets you temporarily store a frequency you locate during
                 a frequency search, which you can then transfer into a
                 channel. 

Two-Second Scan Delay - lets you delay scanning for 2 seconds before
                        moving to another channel, so you can hear more
                        replies. 

Weather Band Key - scans seven preprogrammed weather frequencies so you
                   can hear about current weather conditions. 

Keylock - prevents you from accidentally changing the scanner's
          programming. 

Memory Backup - keeps the channel frequencies stored in memory for up to 1
                hour during a power loss. 

Low Battery Alarm - lets you know when the batteries get low. 

Three Power Sources - let you power the scanner from internal batteries, a
                      standard AC outlet (using an optional AC adapter),
                      or a vehicle's battery (using an optional DC power
                      cord). 

Ni-Cd Battery Charging Circuit - lets you recharge nickel-cadmium
                                 batteries while they are inside the
                                 battery compartment. 

BNC Connector - lets you connect the supplied flexible antenna or an
                optional outdoor antenna. 

Audio Output Jack - lets you connect optional earphones or headphones so
                    you can listen privately, or external speakers so you
                    can listen in a noisy area. 

Your scanner can receive all of these bands:

* 29-54 MHz (VHF Low and 6-Meter Ham Band) 
* 137-144 MHz (Government) 
* 144-148 MHz (2-Meter Ham Band) 
* 148-174 MHz (VHF High) 
* 406-450 MHz (Ham radio and government) 
* 450-470 MHz (UHF Standard) 
* 470-512 MHz (UHF "T" Band) 
* 806-823.9375 MHz (Public Service) 
* 851-868.9375 MHz (UHF Hi) 
* 896.1125-956 MHz (UHF Hi, 33 Centimeter Amateur Radio) 

In addition, your scanner is preprogrammed with the following weather 
service channels: 

* 162.400 MHz 
* 162.425 MHz 
* 162.450 MHz 
* 162.475 MHz 
* 162.500 MHz 
* 162.525 MHz 
* 162.550 MHz 

FCC NOTICE 

Your scanner might cause radio or TV 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 the following methods to eliminate the
interference: 

* Move your scanner away from the receiver 

* Connect your scanner to an outlet that is on a different electrical
  circuit from the receiver 

* Contact your local RadioShack store for help If you cannot eliminate the
  interference, the FCC requires that you stop using your scanner. 

Note:  Mobile use of this scanner is unlawful or requires a permit in some
       areas. Check the laws in your area.

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 (either 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 conversation (unless such activity is otherwise illegal).

RadioShack encourages responsible, legal scanner use.
