Introduction
Scanning technology has changed dramatically over
the years. The WS1065 scanner with Object Oriented
User Interface is designed to help the hobbyist build a
collection of channels to scan:
• Start small and expand
• Organize channels and talkgroups
• Remove unwanted channels and talkgroups
What is Object Oriented Scanning?
Programming scanning receivers can be challenging,
but object-oriented programming simplifies the
process by using common conventions for scanning
concepts that have common characteristics.
A Scannable Object is any defined item that can be
scanned or monitored, including:
• Conventional, non-trunked radio frequencies
• Talkgroups used on a trunked radio system
• Radio services
• Defined searches
Because scannable objects are defined by the same
basic elements, the Object Oriented User Interface
(OOUI) is designed to simplify scanning by managing
all scannable objects similarly. When you learn how to
program one type of object, you can program other
types of scannable objects as well.

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 (cellular, cordless, or other
means of private telephone signal transmission)
• Paging transmissions
• Any intentionally decoded 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). This scanner
has been designed to prevent reception of illegal
transmissions. This is done to comply with the
legal requirement that scanners be manufactured
SCANNING LEGALLY
6
so as to not be easily modifiable to pick up those
transmissions.
Do not open your scanner’s case to make any
modifications that could allow it to pick up
transmissions that are illegal to monitor. Doing so
could subject you to legal penalties. We encourage
responsible, legal scanner use. In some areas, mobile
use of this scanner is unlawful or requires a permit.
Check the laws in your area. It is also illegal in many
areas to interfere with the duties of public safety
officials by traveling to the scene of an incident
without authorization.

Setup
Antenna
You scanner's antenna connects easily, or you can
use a variety of antennas, such as an external mobile
antenna or outdoor base station antenna.
To connect an external antenna, follow the
installation instructions supplied with the antenna.
Always use 50-ohm coaxial cable, such as RG-58 or
RG-8 low-loss dielectric coaxial cable. You may also
need a BNC adapter.
To connect the included antenna:
Your scanner’s frequency sensitivity depends on its
location and the antenna length. For best reception,
adjust the antenna’s length as follows:
FREQUNCY ANTENNA LENGTH
25-54 MHz Extend fully
108-174 MHz Extend 4 segments
216-225 MHz Extend 3 segments
225-406 MHz Extend 2 segments
406-1300 MHz Collapse fully
1. Align the slots.
2. Rotate connector.
INSTALLATION OF ANTENNA
8
WARNING: Use extreme caution when installing or
removing an outdoor antenna. If the antenna starts to
fall, let it go! It could contact overhead power lines. If
the antenna touches a power line, touching the antenna,
mast, cable, or guy wires can cause electrocution and
death. Call the power company to remove the antenna.
DO NOT attempt to do so yourself.
WARNING: Outdoor antennas must be properly
grounded to prevent static buildup and lightning
damage. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information about proper
grounding of the antenna mast, connection of coaxial
cable to an lightning arrestor, size of grounding
conductors, location of the lightning arrestor and
connection of grounding conductors to grounding
electrodes.
Additionally, disconnect your radio from the outdoor
antenna during electrical storm activity to prevent
damage. The diagram below provides an example of a
proper antenna grounding system.
INSTALLATION OF ANTENNA

Desktop Operation
The mounting bracket works as a desktop stand when
attached underneath the radio. Use the provided rubber
feet to prevent sliding or scratching. Do not use the
rubber feet if mounting permanently to a fixed surface.
Extra pads are provided for additional stability.
1. Attach the adhesive rubber feet to the mounting
bracket.
2. Attach the two adhesive rubber washers over the
mounting holes, between the mounting bracket
sides and the scanner’s side holes.
3. Position the bracket with the two recessed fee
toward the front of the scanner.
4. Use the two provided knobs to secure the scanner
within the mounting bracket.
Mount Installation
Attach the bracket over the radio to suspend the
scanner from above. Attach the bracket underneath
the scanner to mount it on top of a flat surface. Your
WS1065 also fits into the included DIN-E compatible
sleeve for existing dashboard openings.
NOTE: In some cases, installation requires specialized
tools and skills. If in doubt, seek assistance from a local
car audio electronics installation shop, or a local two-
way radio dealer.
Select a location that does not interfere with driving or
with the deployment of your vehicle’s air bags. Do not
mount this or any other equipment where deployment
of the air bags might cause it to be propelled towards
passengers. If necessary, seek advice from your
automotive dealer or service shop.
DESKTOP OPERATION
10
Use the mounting bracket as a template to mark the
locations for the two mounting screws.
Drill holes that are slightly smaller than the screws. Use
caution not to damage wiring or components that are
located behind the mounting surface.
Using the provided screws and lock washers, attach
the mounting bracket to your vehicle.
Headphones and Speakers
You can plug headphones (not supplied) or an
amplified speaker (not supplied) with a 1/8-inch (3.5
mm) mini-plug earphone or in the headphone jack on
top of your scanner. This automatically disconnects the
internal speaker.
NOTE: Use an amplified speaker with this scanner;
Non-amplified speakers do not provide sufficient
volume for comfortable listening.
Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when
you use headphones:
Set the volume to zero before putting on headphones.
With the headphones on, adjust the volume to a
comfortable level.
Avoid increasing the volume after you set it. Over
time, your sensitivity to a volume level decreases, so
volume levels that do not cause discomfort might
damage your hearing.
Avoid or limit listening at high-volume levels.
Prolonged exposure to high-volume levels can cause
permanent hearing loss.
Wearing headphones while operating a motor vehicle can
create a traffic hazard and is illegal in most areas. Even
though some headphones let you hear some outside
sounds when listening at normal volume levels, they still
can present a traffic hazard. Exercise extreme caution!
