Introduction

Your new RadioShack PRO-75 200-Channel Portable Scanner lets you in on all 
the action.  This scanner gives you direct access to over 25,000 exciting 
frequencies, including police and fire departments, ambulance services and 
amateur radio services. You can select up to 200 channels 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:

       Five Service Banks - lets you search preset frequencies in separate 
                            fire/police, air, ham radio, marine, and
                            weather banks, to make it easy to locate
                            specific types of calls.

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

Ten Channel-Storage Banks - you can store up to 20 channels in each of 10
                            different banks, to group channels so you can
                            more easily identify calls.

      20 Monitor Memories - lets you temporarily save up to 20 frequencies
                            you locate during a search, so you can move
                            selected frequencies to channel storage later. 

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

HyperSearch and HyperScan - lets you set the scanner to search at up to 50 
                            steps per second and scan at up to 25 channels 
                            per second, to help you quickly find
                            interesting broadcasts.

Duplicate Frequency Check - automatically notifies you if you are about to 
                            store a frequency you have already stored, to 
                            help avoid wasting storage space.

            Direct Search - lets you search for new and unlisted
                            frequencies starting from a specified
                            frequency.

        Lock-Out Function - lets you set your scanner to skip over
                            specified channels or frequencies when
                            scanning or searching.

                 Key Lock - lets you lock the scanner's keys to help
                            prevent accidentally changing the scanner's
                            programming. 

Flexible Antenna with BNC - provides excellent reception and is designed
                Connector   to help prevent antenna breakage.

   Liquid Crystal Display - makes it easy to view and change programming 
                            information.

        Display Backlight - makes the scanner easy to read in low light 
                            situations.

      Three Power Options - lets you power the scanner from internal
                            batteries (non-rechargeable batteries,
                            rechargeable batteries, or a rechargeable
                            scanner battery pack) or external AC or DC
                            power (using optional adapters).

We recommend you record your scanner's serial number here.  This number is 
on the scanner's back panel.

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 the interference. Try the following methods to 
eliminate the interference. 

  Move your scanner away from the TV or radio.

  Connect your scanner to an outlet that is on a different electrical
  circuit from the TV or radio.

  Contact 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 conditions: (1) this device must not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, 
including interference that may cause undesired operation.

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

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, aircraft, 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 
listening to, 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.
