(200-0415) Features Faxback Doc. # 47680
Your RadioShack PRO-2043 30-Channel Direct Entry Programmable Scanner lets
you in on all the action! This scanner gives you direct access to over
20,000 frequencies, including those used by police and fire departments,
ambulance and transportation services, government agencies, and amateur
radio services. You can select up to 30 channels to scan and you can
change selections at any time.
The scanner's frequency bands let you search specific, preset ranges of
frequencies quickly and easily.
Your scanner has all these special features:
Weather Band Key - scans seven preprogrammed weather channels to
keep you informed about current weather
conditions.
Three 10-Channel Storage - lets you store 10 channels in each of three
Banks banks to group channels so calls are easier to
identify.
Three Monitor Memories - lets you temporarily save three frequencies
located during a frequency search, so you can
decide if you want to move them to permanent
channel storage.
Priority Channels - lets you set the scanner to check up to three
channels every 2 seconds so you do not miss
important calls.
Band Search - lets you quickly and easily search preset
frequency ranges, so you can find new and
unlisted broadcasts.
Direct Search - lets you search for a transmission starting
from a specified frequency.
Search Skip - lets you select up to 20 frequencies for the
scanner to skip during a search, so you can
search more efficiently.
Two-Second Channel - lets you set the scanner so it delays scanning
Scan/Search Delay or searching for 2 seconds before moving to
another channel/frequency, so you can hear more
replies.
Lock-Out - keeps channels you select from being scanned,
so you can skip over busy channels such as
those with a continuous transmission.
Key Confirmation Tones - the scanner sounds a tone when you perform an
operation correctly, and sounds an error tone
if you make an error.
Memory Backup - keeps channel frequencies stored in memory for
3 days or more during a power loss.
External Speaker Jack - lets you connect an external speaker, or an
earphone or headphones for private listening.
External Antenna Terminal- lets you connect an external antenna (not
supplied) for improved reception.

FCC NOTICE
Your scanner might cause TV or radio interference even when it is
operating properly. To determine if 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.
SCANNING LEGALLY
Scanning is a fun and interesting hobby. You can hear police and fire
departments, ambulance services, government agencies, private companies,
amateur radio services, and military operations. It is legal to listen
to almost every transmission your scanner can receive. However, there are
some electronic and wire communications that are illegal to intentionally
intercept. These include:
Telephone conversations (cellular, cordless, or other private means of
telephone signal transmission).
Pager transmissions.
Scrambled or encrypted transmissions.
According to the Federal Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA), as
amended, you could be fined and possibly imprisoned for intentionally
intercepting, using, or disclosing the contents of such a transmission
unless you have the consent of a party to the communication (unless such
activity is otherwise illegal). These laws change from time to time and
there might be state or local laws that also affect legal scanner usage.
