Getting Started Quickly
The PSC portable comes with an application named PALPRO loaded in
memory. PALPRO includes three useful data-collection programs for
using the PT2000 or Top Gun without additional programming.
Follow the steps below to begin using the portable with PALPRO
immediately. Page references show where to find more information.

there is a Top Gun module, be sure to include both serial numbers
on the registration card.

battery pack, refer to Appendix E on page 115.
