PSR-410 O/Manual
Disconnect the cable
from the negative (-) terminal of your vehicle’s battery prior to attempting any
connections to your vehicle’s electrical system.
Note: Disconnecting your battery may reset certain devices in your vehicle, such as automotive audio
systems, navigation systems, alarm systems, keyless entry systems, etc.
Route the suppled DC power cord between a power source and the mounting location for your scanner.
Ground the black wire of the supplied DC power cord to your vehicle’s chassis drilling a small hole in a
metal frame member underneath your dashboard and using a small sheet metal screw to secure the black
wire to the frame.
Note: Be sure the grounding screw makes complete contact with the metal frame of your vehicle.
Connect the red wire of the supplied DC power cord to a voltage source that turns on and off with ignition
switch, such as a spare accessory terminal in your vehicle’s fuse box.
Insert the coaxial power plug into the DC 13.8V jack on the rear of the radio.
Reconnect the cable to the negative (-) terminal of your vehicle’s battery.
For temporary installations, you may wish to use a cigarette lighter cable to power your scanner.
To power your scanner from a 12V power source in your vehicle, such as cigarette-lighter socket, you need
a 12V, at least 600mA DC with 7.75mm outer/1.7mm inner poug cigarette-lighter adaptor (not supplied).
Insert the adaptor’s barrel plug into the scanner’s DC 13.8V jack.
Plug the adaptor’s other end into your vehicle’s cigarette lighter or power socket.
Warning: You must use a power source that supplies 12-14.4 VDC and is rated for 600mA. Its center tip
must be set to positive and its plug must fit the scanner’s DC 13.8V jack. The supplied DC power adaptor
meets these specifications. Using a DC adaptor that does not meet these specifications could damage the
scanner or the adaptor.
Warning: The DC power cord is equipped with an inline fuse. This fuse protects your scanner and your
vehicle from damage in case of equipment malfunction or a short circuit. Do not remove the inline fuse
holder from the DC power cord. If the fuse blows, replace it with a 2A fuse and apply power again. If the
fuse blows again, check all wiring for short circuits, and check the radio for a malfunction.
