PRO-63 Programmable Scanner
(200-0561) Features Faxback Doc. # 39378
Your new Radio Shack PRO-63 100-Channel Portable Event Scanner lets you in
on all the action - in the pits at the big race, on the sidelines at a
pro-football game, or on the streets of your home town. This scanner gives
you direct access to over 24,000 exciting frequencies, including those
used by participants and staff at sporting events and air shows, police
and fire departments, ambulance services, and amateur radio services. You
can select up to 100 channels to scan and you can change your selections
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 has all these special features.
Ten Preprogrammed Search Bands - let you search for transmissions within
preset frequency ranges, so you can find
interesting frequencies more quickly.
Ten Preprogrammed Weather Frequencies - keep you informed about current
weather conditions.
Ten Channel-Storage Banks - let you store 10 channels in each bank to
group channels so calls are easier to
identify.
Two-Second Scan Delay - delays scanning for about 2 seconds before moving
to another channel, so you can hear more replies.
Channel Skip - lets you set your scanner to keep channels you select from
being scanned.
Memory Bank Scan - lets you scan frequencies you stored in any of the
scanner's channel-storage banks.
Direct Channel Access - lets you directly access any stored channel while
you scan the banks.
Key Button - lets you lock the scanner's keys to help prevent accidentally
changing the scanner's programming.
Priority Channel - you can set the scanner to check one channel every 2
seconds so you do not miss important calls.
Auto Lock - lets you lock the scanner's programmed channels to keep you
from accidentally erasing frequencies stored in the channels.
ATT (Attenuate) Button - reduces the scanner's sensitivity to strong local
signals, to reduce interference or noise caused
by these signals.
Liquid Crystal Display - makes it easy to view and change programming
information.
Display Backlight - makes the display easy to read in dimly-lit areas.
Three Power Options - let you power the scanner from alkaline or
rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries, or external
AC or DC power.
Flexible Antenna with BNC Connector - provides excellent reception and is
designed to help prevent antenna
breakage.
Memory Backup - keeps channel frequencies stored in memory for up to 10
years during a power loss.

FCC NOTICE
Your scanner might cause TV or radio interference even when it is
operating properly. To determine whether or not 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 Radio Shack store for help.
If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop
using your scanner.
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 communication (unless such activity is
otherwise illegal).
Radio Shack encourages responsible, legal scanner use.
