Setup; Connecting The Antenna - Whistler WS1010 Owner's Manual

CONNECTING ANTENNA
Channels
Channels are storage areas for frequencies saved
in your scanner's memory. Each saved frequency is
assigned a channel.
Banks
A bank is a storage area for a group of channels. Your
scanner provides 10 banks (1 to 10) that can each store
up to 20 channels, for a total of 200 channels. You can
use the banks to group and organize frequencies.
For example, you could program the frequencies used
by your local police department starting with Channel
1 (the first channel in bank 1) and program the fire
department frequencies starting with Channel 21 (the
first channel in bank 2).

Setup

Connecting the Antenna

To attach the supplied flexible antenna to the antenna
jack on top of your scanner, align the slots around the
antenna's connector with the tabs on the antenna jack.
Press the antenna down over the jack and turn the
antenna's base clockwise until it locks into place.
Connecting an Outdoor Antenna
To connect an external antenna, follow the installation
instructions supplied with the antenna. Use 50 Ohm
coaxial cable, such as RG-58 or RG-8. For lengths over
50 feet, use RG-8 low-loss dielectric coaxial cable. If
the antenna cable's connector does not have a BNC
connector, you will 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.
