The first time you turn on the scanner, you will be prompted to
set the date and time of the scanner
ʼ
s internal real time clock.
You can also set the clock over the USB connection using the
PSR-800 PC application.
Low Battery Warning
Your scanner will provide an audible low battery warning every
30 seconds when the batteries are nearly depleted. The radio will
shut down automatically to prevent corrupted MicroSD Card data
when the battery level is critically low.
NOTE:
!
Actual timing of low battery warnings and shutdown will depend on
!
the age and condition of the batteries you are using.
Connecting an Optional External Antenna
The BNC antenna connector on the PSR-800 makes it easy to
use the scanner with a variety of antennas, such as an external
mobile antenna or outdoor base station antenna.
Always use 50-ohm coaxial cable, such as RG-58 or RG-8 low-
loss dielectric coaxial cable. If your antenna
ʼ
s cable does not
have a BNC connector, you will also need a BNC adapter. Follow
the installation instructions supplied with the antenna, route the
antenna cable to the scanner, then connect it to the antenna
jack.
