Introduction
Scanning technology has changed dramatically over
the years. The WS1095/WS1098 scanner with Object
Oriented User Interface is designed to help the
hobbyist build a collection of objects to scan:
• Start small and expand
• Organize conventional frequencies and talkgroups
• Remove unwanted channels and talkgroups
What is Object Oriented Scanning?
Historically, programming scanning receivers was
challenging, but object-oriented programming
simplifies the process by using common conventions for
scanning concepts.
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 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.
Even where not permitted, mobile use of a scanner is
typically permitted if you are a licensed Amateur Radio
operator capable of emergency radio communications.
If interested, see www.arrl.org for information on
becoming a ham radio operator.

FCC Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a scanning receiver, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined
by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a
circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1)This device may not cause harmful interference. (2)
This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
WARNING: Changes or modifications to this unit
not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate
the equipment.
Shielded cables must be used with this unit to ensure
compliance with the Class B FCC limits.

Setup
Antenna
To connect the included antenna:
1. Align the slots around the antenna’s connector with
the tabs on the antenna jack.
2. Press the antenna down over the jack and turn the
antenna’s base clockwise until it locks into place.
3. Mobile use requires an external 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.
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.
9
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.
Disconnect your radio from the outdoor antenna during
electrical storm activity to prevent damage.
Connecting Earphone,
Headphones or Speakers
For private listening, you can plug an 1/8-inch (3.5 mm)
mini-plug earphone or headphones (not supplied) in the
headphone jack on the front of the WS1095 /WS1098.
This automatically disconnects the internal speaker.
Connecting Extension Speaker
In noisy areas, or if you install the scanner in a vehicle,
an extension speaker (not supplied) may provide more
comfortable listening. Plug the speaker cable 1/8 inch
(3.5mm) mini-plug into your scanner’s EXT. SP jack,
located on the rear panel of the radio.
Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when
you use headphones:
• Do not connect headphones to the external speaker
jack located on the rear panel of the radio.
• Set the volume to zero before putting on
headphones. With the headphones on, adjust the
volume to a comfortable level.
• Avoid increasing the volume once 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.
10
Traffic Safety
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!
