The scanner receiver equipment meets the requirements of the FCC Rules, 15.121(a). Compliance is achieved through the following methods:

The scanner receiver in this equipment is incapable of tuning, or readily being altered, by the User to operate within the frequency bands allocated to the Public Cellular Telecommunications Service in Part 22. Blocking of the cellular frequencies is implemented in the firmware of the units main control central processing unit (CPU). Coverage of 824 849 MHz and 869 894 MHz is completely blocked, since it is done in the microprocessor, and cannot be re-enabled by any user-accessible procedure, including diode, resistor, or jumper changes, nor by connection of any external device such as a personal computer, nor by installation of any special enabling semiconductor device.
