Getting Started
First Time Startup
We believe that your new PSR-310 is so easy to use that scannists with
minimal experience in the hobby should be able to get up and running in a
matter of just a few minutes. If you already know the difference between a
conventional channel and a talkgroup, or a search range and a Spectrum
Sweeper, we invite you to dive right in and set the radio up to begin scan-
ning your first objects. If you get stuck, you can refer to this Getting Started
section, or see the relevant sections in the Detailed Menu Reference. Other-
wise, please read on and allow us to help you get acquainted to your new
scanner!
WARNING: Always protect your scanner from exposure to extreme heat or
cold temperatures.
WARNING: Your scanner is not waterproof. Do not expose it to rain, extreme
high humidity or moisture.
WARNING: The external DC power input is designed to accept 9 VDC using
a tip-positive coaxial power plug. Do not connect the radio to external power
sources that are greater than 9 VDC. Ensure that the DC polarity is correct
before connecting your radio to an external power source. Turn the radio off
prior to connecting or disconnecting external power.
Unpack the radio
Unpack your radio carefully. Save all documentation and packing materials
in case it is necessary to return your scanner for repair.
Insert the batteries
Remove the door covering the battery compartment by pressing gently
where the door is marked OPEN and sliding the door downwards until it
stops, approximately 1/4”. Lift the door away from the radio. Select the cor-
rect battery holder for the type of batteries you are going to use. Use the
black battery holder for non-rechargeable batteries, and the yellow battery
holder for rechargeable batteries.
Insert four AA batteries into the holder, taking care to ensure that the batter-
ies are inserted according to the polarity diagram shown inside of the holder
assembly. Insert the holder into the battery compartment, then replace the
battery compartment door by placing it back over the batteries and sliding it
upward gently until it locks in place.
