To the left is an image of a PRS transmitter ready for use.
On the back you will find a nine-digit number. This is your PRS ID
NUMBER. You will need this number in order to register your transmitter.
You should not buy an older transmitter that has only a five-digit
number on the back; these may not work properly. What if my transmitter has only 6 digits on the back?
When using your transmitter, first be sure that it is turned on. To submit your answer, point it at one of the PRS receivers scattered about the room. An image of a receiver is shown to the right. Watch for your PRS ID number to appear on the computer screen at the front of the classroom; this will indicate that your submission has been received. You may answer any question twice within the given time limit (once is all that is necessary). You may change your answer the second time. If you submit two answers, only the second answer will be graded. The H (high) and L (low) buttons can be used to indicate your confidence in your answer; this information will not be used in any way this year. You can find out more about how PRS works here.

Finally, you need to know the letter identification of your recitation section. Get that from the following table:
TABLES FOR PHY 112 and 121 will be posted here soon.For example, if Joe Student is a 112 student in the Mon 3:40 recitation meeting in PSH-355, his section letter is B.
To register your PRS, send an email to me at gary.adams@asu.edu. The subject line should be PRS registration. The body of the email should contain only one line, in EXACTLY the format presented below for Joe Student. If the format is not correct, your PRS answers will never be credited to you. Assuming that Joe Student's PRS transmitter has the ID number 000112345, this would be Joe Student's email:
