Power-On Configuration Key Sequences
Your PSR-310 features power-on keypress sequences that are used as
shortcuts to configuration items, like attenuator settings, backlight settings
and memory information. Power-on key sequences are also used to place
your scanner into firmware upgrade mode for CPU firmware upgrades.
The following table lists the power-on key sequences available in the PSR-
310. Unless otherwise specified, each sequence is invoked by pressing and
releasing each key in sequence, one at a time. The first key must be pressed
while the Welcome/Owner screen is being displayed:
Key Sequence Function
1 Shortcut to PGM>GLOB>Sound Mode
2 Shortcut to PGM>GLOB>Key Beeps
3 Displays Boot, CPU versions
LIGHT Shortcut to PGM>GLOB>Light Mode
ATT Shortcut to PGM>GLOB>Atten Mode
0, 0 Shortcut to PGM>GLOB>Memory Info
0, 1
Destructive, clears working memory and resets all
Global settings to factory defaults.
0, 2
Destructive, resets all Global settings to factory de-
faults. Does not affect working memory.
0, 5
Destructive, executes EEPROM memory test, then
clears working memory and resets all Global set-
tings to factory defaults.

Birdie Frequencies
Every scanner has birdie frequencies. Birdies are signals created inside the
scanner's receiver. These operating frequencies might interfere with trans-
missions on the same frequencies. If you program one of these frequencies,
you hear only noise on that frequency. If the interference is not severe, you
might be able to turn SQ clockwise to omit the birdie.
To find the birdies in your scanner, begin by disconnecting the antenna and
moving it away from the scanner. Make sure that no other nearby radio or TV
sets are turned on near the scanner. Use the TUNE function and scan every
frequency range from its lowest frequency to the highest. Occasionally, the
searching will stop as if it had found a signal, often without any sound. This
is a birdie. Make a list of all the birdies in your scanner for future reference.
