HOW TOSTART GUIDE THE RADIO
TURN ON/OFF

1. Open the battery compartment located on the back of the

radio; install 3 x AA alkaline batteries observing the
battery polarity diagram. Close the battery door.

Installing batteries

2. Press the [POWER] button to turn on/off the radio.

Press

Note:
If the radio is unable to be turned on, please check if the
batteries were installed correctly, or the battery capacity is
sufficient and the lock function has not been turned on
(press & hold the [ ] button to unlock.)

 TUNE INTO STATIONS

Press the [POWER] button to turn on your radio, then

select your desired band by pressing the [FM], [MW/LW],
SW [ ] or [ ] button. In case of receiving FM/ SW
broadcasting, fully extend the telescopic antenna for a
better reception. When receiving MW (LW) broadcasting,
please rotate the radio or change it's location to achieve
optimum reception. Now, you can turn into your favorite
stations with any of the below tuning methods:
METHOD 1:
ETM (EASY TUNING MODE)
ETM is a unique tuning method designed by Tecsun. It
skillfully combines the reception circuitry & control
procedure to pre-select the radio station and temporarily
auto stores them into the ETM memory (not the regular 550
memories). This highly enhances the efficiency when tuning
into radio stations.
Please follow below steps to tune into your preferred
frequencies employing ETM:
1. Press the [ETM] button and “ETM”
will appear on screen to enter Easy
Tuning Mode.
flashing
2. Press & hold the [ETM] button until
the frequency start running to auto Frequency Preset station
scan and store stations into ETM changing number ETM
memory,
within the present band. Timer
SLEEP

3. When the frequency stops

running, turn the [TUNING]
knob to select those stored
stations.
Notes:
While operating ETM to search for stations, a few stations
might be missed if there is interference in the surrounding.
In this case, you can simply key-in the frequency, then press
the [ETM] button to manually store it into the ETM memory.

6 PL-310ET
Tips:
FM station: When you are in a different city or country, you
should perform the ETM function again in stead of using
ATS function, because this will not delete any of the
stations already stored within the memory.

MW station: It is recommendable to perform the ETM

function during night time, because there are usually many
stations starting broadcasting at night.

SW station: It is recommendable to perform the ETM

function in the morning, afternoon as well as night time,
because the transmitting signal of SW is very unstable and
usually there are more stations that start broadcasting in
the late afternoon.

METHOD 2: MANUAL TUNING

Frequency searching: Press the [VM/VF] button to switch
into frequency mode, and then rotate the [TUNING] knob to
select your desired station.
FAST/SLOW tuning is shown in the chart below for each band.
step Slow tuning mode Fast tuning mode
band turning step turning step
FM 0.01 MHz 0.1 MHz
MW 1kHz 9 /10kHz
LW 1 kHz 9 kHz
SW 1 kHz 5 kHz

Memory searching: Press the [VM/VF] button and “VM”

will appear on screen to enter memory mode, and then
rotate the [TUNING] knob to select those stored stations.

3.To stop the auto browse function,
simply press the [VM/VF] button. Auto browse station

Note:
While operating the “Auto-browse Station” function, you can
press the [M] button anytime to store the station into
memory, and the radio will keep on auto browsing the next
available station.

METHOD 4: DIRECT KEYPAD ENTRY

To search for a frequency, turn on the radio and press the
[VF] button to switch into frequency mode, press the
numeric keys [0] - [9] to enter the station frequency directly.

To search for those stored stations, press the [VM/VF]

button to switch into memory mode, then press the numeric
keys [0] - [9] to enter the preset memory number directly.

Notes:
1. Ignore the decimal point for FM band when inputting the
frequency numbers.
For example, FM 89.3 MHz, just enter 8 9 3.
2. If the entered frequency is not within the covering area,
the display would display “Err” (error) symbol.

 WORKING WITH STATION MEMORIES

There are in total 550 preset memories within the unit. 100
preset memories for each FM, MW, and LW band, and 250
for SW.
METHOD 1: Auto Tuning Storage (ATS)
flashing
FM ATS:
1. Fully extend the telescopic
antenna and press the [FM] Timer
SLEEP

button to select FM band.

2. Press & hold the [FM] button
until “PRESET ” flashing and the
frequency advancing; now the
unit starts scanning and storing all available stations into
the memories.
When the frequency stops advancing, it means the ATS
operation is done completely. You can rotate the
[TUNING] knob to search for those stored stations.

MW/LW ATS:
Press the [MW/LW] button to select MW/LW band, then
follow step 2 of FM ATS.

SW ATS:
Fully extend the telescopic antenna and press the SW [ ]
or [ ] button to select SW band. There are two modes for
SW ATS tuning:
Mode A: Press & hold the [ ] button to ATS the stations
within all meter bands
Mode B: Press & hold the [ ] button to ATS the stations
within present meter band.
Notes:
1.During ATS process in FM, MW / LW or SW (mode A),
pre-stored radio stations will be replaced automatically by
the new searched stations.
2.With ATS in SW (mode B), those existing memories will
not be replaced; all the newly found radio stations will be
stored in the blank memory addresses.

PL-310ET 9
3.If there is too many interference in your surrounding or
many mirror/blank stations are being stored during ATS,
you should contract the telescopic antenna (FM & SW) or
rotate the radio for better reception (MW & LW).

METHOD 2: STORING STATON MANUALLY

1.Select band and tune to your desired station.
2.Press the [M] button with “PRESET ” flashing.
3.Press the [M] button again to store the station into
memory.

into memory.

METHOD 3: SEMI-AUTO STORING STATIONS

While operating the “Auto Browse Station” function, you can
simply press on the [MEMORY] button to store the station
into memory to avoid storing unwanted stations and
interfering signals.

IMPORTANT MATTERS FOR USING BATTERIES

1. If no battery has been installed for a long time, the clock

of the radio will stop to work. However, pre-stored
frequencies are still kept. The clock will work again after
new batteries are re-installed.
2. When the battery power is low, the " " symbol on the
display will flash to alert you to change to new batteries.
It will turns off automatically when the power is gone.
3. Mixing the used & new batteries may cause damage to
the radio and also display the power capacity incorrectly.
4. In case of the radio will not be used for a long period,
take out the batteries to prevent liquid leakage that may
damage the radio.
