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 scanning 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. Otherwise,
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 correct 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 batteries 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.
NOTE: Two battery holders are included with your PSR-310. The black battery holder should be used with
non-rechargeable alkaline batteries. The yellow battery holder should be used with rechargeable NiMH or
