You must be 100% satisfied
with your Bearcat scanner when you order from CEI. All Bearcat scanners
purchased directly from CEI are sold for your evaluation and testing
for 61 days before you decide to keep it (excluding CEI E-values).
The installation, possession,
or use of any radio receiver in a motor vehicle may be prohibited, regulated,
or require a permit in certain states, cities and/or local jurisdiction.
Your local law enforcement officers should be able to provide this information
regarding the laws in your community. Click
here for more information on scanning legally.
Features, specifications,
availability of optional accessories or database services are all subject
to change without notice.
Performance on digital systems can vary due to signal quality, multipath
interference, and cellular interference. Unlike analog trunking, where
you can hear the audio with some interference mixed in, interference
in a digital system completely blocks the signal. If you do not get
good digital reception, we recommend the purchase of the optional ANTMMBNC
magnetic mount antenna. Using this antenna, adjust your location and
the position of the antenna until reception improves.
