.GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM is a microprocessor controlled,
synthesized, world band receiver with continuous coverage
capability from 100 kHz through
30 MHz which includes the AM broadcast and shortwave bands.
Reception also includes FM broadcast (87 - 108 MHz) and
Aircraft (118 -137 MHz) bands. The SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM
offers excellent sensitivity, selectivity, dynamic range,
and features that permit easy tuning of desired stations.
Conveniently located front panel controls allow for rapid
operator programming and ease of use. The unit can be
operated from either the supplied AC ADAPTER or from six D.
cell batteries (not supplied) for portable operation. A low
battery voltage indication is displayed when that condition
exists.

Three electronically switched IF filters are provided.

The front panel liquid crystal display provides feedback of
the current status of the receiver. The seven digit
frequency display provides resolution to 100 Hz accuracy in
the AM broadcast, Aircraft and Shortwave bands. Resolution
to 20 kHz is displayed in the FM broadcast band mode.
Backlighting of the display is selectable by a front panel
button. To prolong battery life with internal battery
operation, the backlighting automatically turns off after a
short delay following a function change or retuning of the
receiver. Reception modes include Lower/Upper Sideband
(LSB), (USB), and AM in the Shortwave, and AM broadcast
bands. For the Shortwave and AM broadcast bands, a
selectable sideband synchronous detector (SYNC) allows for
enhanced reception by eliminating or reducing distortion due
to fading signals. During FM broadcast use, stereo reception
is available through the use of headphones.

Other built-in reception aids include selectable slow or
fast AGC, RF attenuator for use in strong signal handling
conditions, as well as treble and bass controls.

Two in-dependent, real time clocks provide a local and
alternative time selection. Also provided is a two event
timer.

A programmable memory area allows for 70 independent
receiver set up memories. These memories do not require
battery backup and are thus unaffected by power
interruptions. All parameters associated with a particular
memory channel are stored including the frequency, mode,
bandwidth, fast or slow AGC, RF attenuator and synchronous
detector. These memory channels may be accessed manually or
through a time scan with each channel monitored for a 5
second period.
POWER SUPPLY

AC ADAPTER
The SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM receiver is supplied with an
auto-switchable AC ADAPTER to power it indoors. The AC
ADAPTER is designed to be plugged into a wall outlet that
supplies nominal 120 VAC, 60 Hz or nominal 230 VAC 50 Hz
power.

The AC adapter is supplied with a North American type
connector. To use the unit in countries using a European
type connector, plug the North American connector into the
US to Europlug adapter that is provided.

Connect the output connector of the AC adapter to the
9 VDC, 1 amp connector on the back of the receiver. Inserted
batteries are automatically disconnected as soon as the AC
adapter is plugged in to this connector.

Europlug/US connector

Europlug adapter

Keep curtains and other flammable materials out of direct
contact with the AC ADAPTER to avoid overheating.

GRUNDIG assumes no responsibility for damage due to
operation with an AC adapter other than the one supplied
with this unit.

BATTERY OPERATION AND INSTALLATION
The SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM receiver is designed to operate
from either the supplied AC ADAPTER or from six D. cell
batteries (not supplied). NOTE: Check the batteries
periodically for leakage. IF UNIT IS TO BE STORED OR
OTHERWISE NOT USED FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME, REMOVE
THE BATTERIES TO PREVENT CORROSION AND POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO
THE RECEIVER.

Battery Installation
(1) Position receiver with the back panel towards you.
(2) Remove battery access cover by pressing on the
corrugated area in the center of the cover and sliding it to
your left as far as it will go. Then gently pull it straight
out from the rear panel.
(3) Place 6 D. cell alkaline type batteries into holder.
Make sure the batteries are in the proper polarity position
as illustrated in Figure 1.
(4) Replace access cover by placing it over the left side of
the opening and then sliding it to the right. Hint, when
installing batteries, lay the radio face down, resting on
the front handles. This protects the work surface and the
front of the radio and keeps the batteries from falling out
of the radio when you remove the cover.

FIGURE 1: On the top row the tops of the batteries point
toward the whip antenna. On the bottom row The tops of the
batteries point away from the whip antenna.

NOTE: The SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM does not rely on the
batteries for retention of memory channels. To ensure that
clocks and timers are maintained following the loss of AC
power or battery removal, the receiver must first be
connected to a source of AC power or have batteries
installed for a minimum of 10 minutes. If power is lost
after this minimum .charge. time, clocks and timer settings
are maintained for a time period of approximately 30
minutes.

UNPACKING
Carefully remove the SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM and included
AC ADAPTER from the shipping carton and examine them for
evidence of damage. If any damage is noted, immediately
contact the transportation company responsible for delivery
or return the unit to the dealer from whom it was purchased.
Keep the shipping carton and all packing material for the
transportation company to inspect. The original carton and
packing material should be retained for repackaging should
it be necessary to return the receiver. Inspect the packing
material for any accessories or printed material before
storing the box. Locate the registration card, fill it out.
and immediately return it to Grundig to ensure registration
and validation of warranty.

LOCATION
For fixed locations, the SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM should be
operated from the AC ADAPTER. Keep curtains and other
flammable material away from direct contact with the AC
ADAPTER to avoid overheating which could result in failure
or fire.

FIXED INSTALLATION
After unpacking the unit, connect the antenna system to the
appropriate antenna input. Connect system ground to the
compression terminal marked .GND.. Plug the output cable of
the AC ADAPTER into the .External DC Input connector on the
rear panel of the SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM receiver. Plug the
AC ADAPTER into a source of 120 VAC, 60 Hz or 230 VAC, 50 Hz
power. Refer to the Figure 2 on page 11 for the diagram of a
typical fixed installation

PORTABLE OPERATION
For use in a portable environment, the SATELLIT 800
MILLENNIUM is operated from six (6) internally mounted D.
cell batteries. These batteries are not supplied and must be
installed prior to portable operation of the receiver. See
BATTERY INSTALLATION section on page
9, Figure 1 of this manual. For longest battery life,
alkaline batteries are recommended for this product. NOTE:
REMOVE THE BATTERIES IF THE RECEIVER IS TO BE STORED OR
OTHERWISE NOT OPERATED FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME TO
AVOID DAMAGE TO THE SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM DUE TO POSSIBLE
BATTERY LEAKAGE OR CORROSION EFFECTS. The SATELLIT 800
MILLENNIUM does not rely on the batteries for retention of
memory channels. To ensure that the clocks and timers are
maintained following a loss of AC power or battery removal,
the receiver must first be connected to an AC power source
or have batteries installed for a minimum of 10 minutes. If
power is lost after this minimum charge time, clocks and
event timer settings are maintained for a period of
approximately 30 minutes.

ANTENNA REQUIREMENTS
(Refer to Figure 2, page 11) The SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM
incorporates rear panel switches to select between the
internal whip antenna and various types of external
antennas. The built-in .WHIP. antenna is available for use
on all bands. For 100 kHz to 30 MHz operation, two antenna
connectors are also provided. .ANTENNA 1. is a 50 Ohm, SO-
239 coaxial input requiring a mating PL-259 connector. This
input would typically be used as the primary AM broadcast
and shortwave band antenna input. Antennas such as dipoles,
trap dipoles, verticals and beams will provide the best
results, depending upon the desired receiving frequency.
.ANTENNA 2. is a compression terminal type connection,
providing high-impedance (500 Ohms typical) input. Antennas
such as long wires or end-fed Zepps will provide the best
results for .ANTENNA 2.. For reception in the 87-108 MHz and
118-137 MHz range, the FM/AIR 75 Ohm F. connector
- terminal is also provided. Outside TV antennas, folded
dipoles or coaxial antennas will provide the best results
with this input for reception of the FM broadcast and
Aircraft bands. The best antenna for any of the previously
mentioned inputs will depend on the frequency range and time
of day for the particular signal in question. Refer to
publications such as the ARRL Handbook or ARRL Antenna
Manual (available in most public libraries) for help on
selection and/or construction of the antennas mentioned
above.

.REAR PANEL DESCRIPTION

1. ANTENNA 1 - This connector is used when attaching
receiving antennas with coaxial feed lines of 50 Ohm nominal
impedance. It accepts a standard PL-259 plug. If selected by
the .Shortwave Antenna Select. switch (item 2), this input
operates for the AM Broadcast and Shortwave bands only (100
kHz to 30 MHz).

2. SHORTWAVE ANTENNA SELECT - This switch selects one of
three possible antenna systems to be used for the 100 kHz to
30 MHz antenna input. Positions 1 and 2 select ANTENNA 1 and
ANTENNA 2 respectively, which are described in items 1 and 5
on this section. When WHIP is selected, the built in whip
antenna, located at the rear right-hand corner of the
receiver's top, is connected. Also built into the receiver
is a ferrite rod antenna which also operates when this
switch is in the WHIP position, AND the receiver is tuned
between 100 kHz and 1800 kHz.

3. FM/AIR ANTENNA SELECT - This switch allows selection of
either the built-in WHIP antenna, or an external 75 Ohm
antenna connected at the FM/AIR terminal (item 4) for the 87
- 108 MHz and
118 - 137 MHz frequency ranges.

4. FM/AIR Antenna - This F. type input is designed for an
unbalanced 75 Ohm input connection that is encountered with
coaxial feeds. Connect to the FM connection of a TV/FM
outdoor antenna feed (splitter), it available. Folded
dipoles or coaxial antennas will also provide good results
with this input for reception of the FM broadcast and
Aircraft Bands. If selected by the .FM/AIR Antenna Select.
switch (item 3), this input operates for the FM Broadcast
(87 - 108 MHz) and Aircraft (118 kHz to 137 MHz) bands only.

5. ANTENNA 2 -This connector can be used to attach a high
impedance (500 Ohm nominal) antenna. Use the .GND. (black)
and .500 Ohm. (red) terminals for a
500 Ohm antenna. If selected by the .Shortwave Antenna
Select. switch (Item 2), this input operates for the AM
Broadcast and Shortwave (100 kHz to 30 MHz) bands only.

6. LINE AUDIO OUT -These RCA connectors provide constant low
level left and right audio sources that are independent of
the front panel VOLUME, TREBLE and BASS control settings.
They are designed to interface to a tape recorder, CW/RTTY
clemodulators, stereo amplifiers, etc.

7. Battery Compartment - This compartment houses 6 IEC-LR20
or IEC R20 or D cells to provide 9 VDC to the receiver for
portable operation. To gain access to the battery
compartment, press the corrugated area of the battery
compartment panel and slide it to the left. Then gently pull
the panel from the receiver. To replace the cover, simply
reverse this process.

8. EXT DC INPUT - Connect the AC ADAPTER output cable to
this connector. The receiver requires 9 VDC power at
approximately 1 Amp current. With external DC power applied,
the internal batteries are not used.

9. EXTERNAL SPEAKER - This connector accepts a standard 1/4.
diameter, 3 circuit, (stereo) phone plug for connection of
external 4 to 8 Ohm speakers.

10. WHIP ANTENNA - The receiver has a built-in telescoping
antenna that can be used on all bands. Note that the pivot
point section of the antenna must be exposed out of its
nesting tube to permit moving the antenna from its vertical
orientation. Extend the telescoping sections and position
the antenna for best signal reception. Be sure the
corresponding rear panel antenna select switch is set to the
.WHIP. position for WHIP antenna reception.

GETTING STARTED

GENERAL OPERATING INFORMATION
The SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM receiver has been designed for
ease of use. Please take a few moments to read through this
section and familiarize yourself with general operating
information.

MICROPROCESSOR RESET
A power-up reset routine will be activated anytime after
the receiver COMPLETELY loses power, either from internal
batteries or external DC input. This will be observed by the
front panel display illuminating all annunciators for 3
seconds, followed by the clock display. However, short term
power failures of up to 30 minutes are masked by an internal
back-up capacitor. This will allow ample time for battery
replacement without loss of the internal clock. Note: Any
programmed memory locations will NOT be lost under a power-
up reset due to the memory design of the SATELLIT 800
MILLENNIUM.

BEEP TONES
The SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM responds to all key depressions
with an audible beep unless the beep has been disabled by
the BEEP button. No beep is generated under any condition
for depressions of the TUNING keys when in VFO mode. Beep
tones indicate the following.

One short tone for a key depression.
One long, high tone when storing a memory channel.
One long, low tone for any illegal key depression.

FIRST STEPS
Please refer to the front panel illustration and set the
controls as described below.

(1) Install 6 D. batteries or connect AC ADAPTER.
(2) Fully extend the whip antenna and adjust to a vertical
position, or connect an external antenna to appropriate rear
panel terminals. Set rear panel .ANTENNA SELECTOR switch(es)
to appropriate position(s).
(3) Press POWeR and adjust .VOLUME. to a comfortable level.
(4) Select the desired band by pressing the .BAND. button
until the desired band is displayed on the front panel
display.
(5) Enter the desired frequency by using one of several
methods covered below.

DIRECT FREQUENCY ENTRY
Direct entry of a desired frequency is possible using the
.Direct-Key-In put. keys. While entering a frequency, if an
incorrect frequency is entered, pressing the CLR LOCK button
will clear the entry in progress and return the receiver to
its previous settings. The second depression of the decimal
"." button acts as an ENTER and causes immediate response to
the entered frequency. If You do not press the decimal "."
button a second time at the end, the receiver will
automatically enter the frequency after a slight delay.

Enter frequency as follows:

(A) The Shortwave and AM broadcast bands enter in kHz
(Kilohertz). A maximum of 6 digits may he entered.

Examples:

700 kHz
Press 7 0 0 Decimal Decimal (double asterisk note here)

29660 kHz
Press 2 9 6 6 0 Decimal Decimal (double asterisk note here)

14258 point 1 kHz
Press 1 4 2 5 8 decimal 1
OR
Press 1 4 2 5 8 1 (single asterisk note here)
Single asterisk note explained.

* When the maximum number of allowed digits is entered, the
decimal point will be automatically placed between the 1 kHz
and .1 kHz digits and need not be entered.

** The second depression of the DECIMAL button acts as an
.ENTER. and causes immediate response to the enter
frequency. If you do not press the decimal ...a second time
at the end, the receiver will automatically enter th
frequency after a slight delay,

(B) Aircraft and FM broadcast bands enter in MHz
(megahertz). A maximum of 5 digits may be entered for FM,
and a maximum of 7 digits may be entered for Aircraft band
entries.

Examples:

97 point 7 Mhz
Press 9 7 decimal 7 decimal (double asterisk note here)

121 point 9 MHz
Press 1 2 1 point 9 decimal (double asterisk note here)

Attempting to enter a frequency outside the tuning range of
the SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM receiver will cause the ERROR
annunciator to flash along with the error beep to be heard.
The receiver will then return to its previous settings-

SHORTWAVE .METER BAND DESIGNATOR ENTRY
To facilitate tuning to particular sections of the
shortwave band that contain many worldwide broadcasts of
news, information and music, the SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM
permits entry of the .METER band designator. In some cases,
the worldwide broadcast station may not announce its exact
operating frequency, but will announce the .METER. band in
which it is operating or to which band it will move to
improve worldwide reception at a particular time of day. By
entering this .METER. band number, the receiver
automatically tunes to the low frequency end of the
corresponding .METER. band. The search for the new station
location is thus limited to a particular smaller section of
the entire shortwave band spectrum. The Shortwave Band
Designators and corresponding frequency ranges are as
follows:

Shortwave Band Designators

Band Low Freq High Freq

120 Meter 2300 kHz 2500 kHz

90 Meter 3200 kHz 3400 kHz

75 Meter 3900 kHz 4000 kHz

60 Meter 4750 kHz 5060 kHz

49 Meter 5950 kHz 6200 kHz

41 Meter 7100 kHz 7600 kHz

31 Meter 9500 kHz 9900 kHz

25 Meter 11,600 kHz 12,100 kHz

22 Meter 13,570 kHz 13,870 kHz

19 Meter 15,100 kHz 15,800 kHz

16 Meter 17,480 kHz 17,900 kHz

13 Meter 21,450 kHz 21,850 kHz

11 Meter 25,600 kHz 26,100 kHz

Press the .BAND. button as required to enter the shortwave
band tuning mode. At this point, you can enter a frequency
with the .Direct-Key-Input. buttons, or use the
TUNING knob and/or the UP and DOWN buttons to
change frequency.

To enter a shortwave band .METER. designator, press the SW
BAND. button to display a flashing .METER. number entry
prompt. The prompt will flash for approximately 3 seconds
after the SW BAND button is pressed. While it is still
flashing, enter one of the listed two or three digit Band
numbers corresponding to the desired .METER. band designator
using the .Direct-Key-input. buttons. While the .METER.
annunciator is flashing, the UP and DOWN buttons can also be
used to step quickly from band to band. After selection of
the .METER. band, use the TUNING knob or. UP and DOWN
buttons to change the frequency, or press the .Direct-Key-
input. keys to make a direct frequency entry.

FREQUENCY RESOLUTION
The SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM tunes in the following steps:

Mode Display Resolution Tuning Resolution Broadcast

Band: AM
100 Hz 100 Hz 10 kHz/9 kHz

Shortwave Band: AM USB, LSB
100 Hz 100 Hz 100 Hz 50 Hz 5 kHz
5 kHz

FM 10 kHz

The synchronous detector will lock to the strongest signal
that is within the IF passband when it is activated. Most of
the time, the strongest signal will be the carrier of the
desired signal. First, be sure the main tuning is set to
within 1 kHz of the desired stations transmitting frequency.
Press the .AM SYNC. button to activate synchronous
operation. If adjacent channel interference or any other
undesired signal is sufficiently strong, the synchronous
detector may lock to it instead. In that case, press the .AM
SYNC. button again to turn the synchronous detector off, and
repeat the tuning process. For severe cases of fading, set
the audio bandwidth to
4 kHz. If interference is present, press the SSB USBLSB
button to select the sideband with the least interference
once .AM SYNC. has been selected. If the interference is
sufficiently severe to prevent reception, select a
narrower IF bandwidth and retune to the desired signal.
After reception is obtained, select a wider bandwidth and/or
alternate sideband if desired. When .AM SYNC. has been
activated, moving the TUNING knob will cause
the SYNC circuit to momentarily disengage (indicated by
.SYNC. flashing), then back on again when tuning has
stopped. AM SYNC does not function on the AIR band, and will
not operate properly on intermittent transmissions such as
those encountered on CB radio, and AIR bands. For those
types of transmissions, use the AM mode. Press the AM SYNC
button to turn the synchronous detector off before selecting
LSB or USB modes.

SSB OPERATION
Tuning in a single sideband (SSB) signal can be somewhat
frustrating for the first time listener. In either of the
SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM's SSB modes, LSB (lower sideband),
or USB (upper sideband), the receiver will select the 2.3
kHz bandwidth automatically (the receiver may be programmed
to NOT automatically select a bandwidth. Refer to .Automatic
Bandwidth Setting With Mode Selection DISABLE (ENABLE). in,
the .Special Use Features and Functions. section of this
manual). Generally, LSB is used below 10 MHz and USB is used
above 10 MHz. When initially tuning in the desired
station, tune slowly. If the station is unintelligible, try
the other sideband, again tuning slowly. A station tuned in
on the wrong sideband is totally unreadable but a station
mistuned on the correct sideband may sound like .Donald
Duck.. Further tuning will result in a more normal voice
pitch.

FM OPERATION
FM reception is perhaps the easiest mode to use on the
SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM. The AGC and BANDWIDTH settings are
not used in FM. In fact, attempting to activate these
buttons will result in an .ERROR. beep. All FM stations in
the U.S. end in an odd 100 kHz, i.e.
97.7 MHz, and are spaced 200 kHz apart. The SATELLIT 800
MILLENNIUM has the ability to tune in
20 kHz steps to allow tuning in between stations to help
eliminate interference to weaker stations that could be
covered up by stronger adjacent stations. Additionally, when
headphones or external speakers are used, true stereo
reception is possible. The front panel stereo indicator
sT will light when a stereo station is tuned in. The
receiver will automatically switch to stereo and provide
left and right audio from the headphone jack, lin output
jacks, or external speaker jack. If the headphones or
external speakers are removed while listening to a stereo
broadcast, the receiver will provide monaural audio from the
internal speaker, and the front panel stereo indicator will
disappear.

AGC OPERATION
The SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM provides the ability to select
a Slow or Fast AGC setting. Either of the two settings will
permit automatic control of the receiver's gain thereby
producing a constant audio output free of distortion.
Generally, the Slow AGC setting is preferred for reception
of AM and SSB signals. The Fast AGC setting allows more
rapid automatic receiver gain adjustment to quickly fading
signal levels. The AGC does not function in the FM mode.

MEMORY DESCRIPTION
The SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM contains 70 memory locations
that can be used to store and recall commonly monitored
frequencies. These 70 locations are divided into blocks of
10, ie. 00-09, 10-19 20-29, etc. This allows convenient
grouping of frequencies. As an example, 00-09 could be AM
broadcast stations, 10-19 could be FM broadcast stations,
20-29 could be various time stations such as CHU and WWV,
etc. With memory locations programmed, you can use the SCAN
function to automatically monitor desired memory
frequencies. The following operating parameters may be
stored in any memory location.

(1) Frequency, (2) Mode, (3) Bandwidth, (4) AGC setting, (5)
Attenuator, (6) Synchronous detector.

STORING A MEMORY CHANNEL
First, be sure that the SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM is in the
VFO mode (MEMORY or SCAN not displayed). If required, press
the VFO button to place unit in the VFO mode. (A) Select the
desired frequency, mode, bandwidth, etc. (B) Press the STORE
button. .MEMORY will light and the memory channel number
will flash for approximately 3 seconds, While it is still
flashing, enter a two-digit number from 00 to 69 A
confirmation beep will be heard. (C) The receiver will
return to the VFO mode and the last used memory location
will be displayed in the MEMORY location of the display.

RECALLING A MEMORY LOCATION
To select a specific memory channel, press the tMEMO
button. This will cause .MEMORY to light on the front panel
display, and the MEMORY channel number Will flash for
approximately 3 seconds. While it is still flashing, enter a
two digit number of the desired memory channel to be
received. Make certain that the successive button
depressions are made within 3 seconds of each other. Other
memory channels may be selected by pressing the MEMO button
and entering two digit numbers. If a channel number is
selected that is empty, .Error. will flash.

The large .TUNING. knob may be used to tune from the
frequency that was stored in the selected memory channel.
The .MEMORY symbol turns off, but the last memory channel
number still shows. Pressing the mEmo button will cause the
receiver to return to the last selected memory channel
number and the .MEMORY. symbol will turn on.

DELETING A MEMORY LOCATION
Select the memory channel to be deleted as described in
.RECALLING A MEMORY LOCATION.. Press and hold the DEL button
for 3 seconds. A beep will be heard to indicate that the
contents stored in the selected memory channel number have
been deleted.

SCAN FUNCTIONS

SCAN DESCRIPTION
The SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM provides a time scan function
of programmed memory channels using the SCAN button. Scan
will begin and end within a 10 channel block of programmed
memory channels as indicated by the most significant digit
of the selected memory channel number.

Block Number Memory Channel Scan Range

0 00-09

1 10-19

2 20-29

3 30-39

4 40-49

5 50-59

6 60-69

The receiver will stop at each programmed memory channel
within the block for 5 seconds and then increment to the
next memory channel. Memory channels that are programmed to
be skipped will not be scanned. The .SCAN. symbol will be
displayed for the duration of the scan action. Scanning will
continue until the .SCAN. button is pressed again.

Example for SCAN:

Suppose that memory channels 30 through 39 are programmed
and it is desired to scan these channels. To initiate the
scan action, press the SCAN button followed by the two-digit
channel number entry (can enter 30 through 39 for this
example).

Press the SCAN button. The receiver will begin scanning from
the selected memory channel and continue scanning in
sequence: .30. - .31 - 32. - etc.

Press the SCAN button again to stop the scanning action.

Note that if channels 29 and 40 were stored, they would not
be included in a scan of the channels starting with a .3. as
the most significant digit of the channel number.

MEMORY CHANNEL SKIP
A memory channel can be skipped for scan operations. While
in the MEMORY mode, press the SKipl. button. The display
will indicate that the .SKIP function has been stored for
that particular memory channel number. An S will be
displayed to the right of the memory channel number on the
display. Repeat the same sequence as described to remove the
.SKIP. function from a memory channel number.

Example for MEMORY CHANNEL SKIP.:

Refer to the previous example on this page. Suppose it is
desired to skip the memory channel number 34 from the scan
action:

>From the normal variable frequency tuning and reception mode
(VFO) or from the Memory mode, press the MEMO button
followed by the two-digit number 34..

Press the SKIP button. An .S. will illuminate to the right
of the displayed .34.. When the scan action is initiated,
all channel numbers 30 through 39, except 34, will be
scanned. Note that the memory contents of channel 34 still
remain. It is skipped over only in the scan sequence.

To allow channel 34 to again be included in the scan
sequence, press the MEMO button followed by the two-digit
number 34..

Press the SKIP button to remove the .SKIP function from
channel 34 for this example. The .S. indicator in the
display will turn off.

CLOCK AND TIMER FUNCTIONS

TIME DISPLAY
The SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM incorporates a dual time clock
allowing two 24 hour clocks to be set and maintained. During
loss of AC power, or during battery changing, clock
operation is maintained for a period of approximately 30
minutes, if the receiver has been connected to an AC power
source or had the batteries installed for a minimum time of
10 minutes. The two-event timer functions are also derived
from the last displayed clock, therefore the clocks must be
set first for proper TIMER operation. TIMER Settings are
also maintained through a power loss for a period of
approximately 30 minutes. Pressing the CLOCK button once
will display the current time of the current clock. After
approximately 3 seconds, the display will revert to the
current frequency. Pressing and releasing the CLOCK button
while time is being displayed will toggle the time display
between the two clocks. Normally the clock accompanied by
the .L. on the display will be set with the local time,
while the alternate clock will be set to display GMT (UTC)
time. The SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM will display the selected
clock when the POWER switch is turned off.

SETTING THE 24 HOUR CLOCKS
Select local (1) or alternate time clock by pressing the
CLOCK button.

Press and hold the CLOCK button for three seconds until the
colon begins flashing rapidly. If the .L is illuminated, you
are setting the local clock. With no .L displayed, you are
setting the alternate clock. Either clock can be set first.
Time is entered in a 24 hour format. Enter the time in
.HH:MM., with the .colon. understood.
The CLR/LOCK button can be pressed to erase erroneous
entries. Press the CLOCK button to start the clock when the
actual time value agrees with the entered time. The colon
will flash at one second intervals when the clock is
running.

Example for Local Clock Set: With frequency displayed,
suppose it is desired to set 13:01 Press and hold the CLOCK
button until the colon flashes rapidly. Press the following
sequence of numeric buttons: 1301
When the actual time is 13:01, Press the CLOCK button. The
clock is now started.

TIMER OPERATION
The SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM includes two programmable
event timers allowing the receiver to turn ON or OFF at
preset times. The timers may be used separately or together
and may recall a currently displayed frequency, memory
channel or a combination of both. In addition, programming
only an OFF time provides a Sleep timer, and programming
only an ON time provides a Wake timer. Note
that the timers, when activated, respond to the last
displayed clock. Programming the timers is a two step
process. Step one is to set the ON and OFF times. Step two
is to assign a frequency or memory channel to a timer.
This assignment occurs when the desired timer is actually
enabled.

SETTING TIMER ON/OFF TIMES
Press and hold the TIMER button for approximately 2 seconds
until the 'TIMER' annunciator turns on, and 'ON' flashes.
The 'ON' Time will also be indicated in the frequency
portion of the display (same readout format as the clock) as
well as the number '1' or '2' displayed to the right of the
time. The number '1' or '2' indicates which one of the two
event timers you are programming.
Press the desired 'Direct-Key-Input' buttons to enter a new
'ON' time. Enter the time in 'HH:MM' and in 24 hour format.
Press the CLEAR/LOCK button to remove the 'ON' time, to use
the timer as a Sleep timer. For a Wake timer, program an
'ON' time and remove the 'OFF' time.
To set the 'OFF' time, press the TIMER button again to
display 'OFF' time.
Press the desired 'Direct-Key-Input' buttons to enter a new
'OFF' time. Enter the time in 'HH:MM' and in 24 hour format.
Press the CLEAR/LOCK button to remove the 'OFF' time, if
desired.
Press the TIMER button again to enter TIMER 2 'ON' time.
Press the TIMER button again to enter TIMER 2 'OFF'
time.
Finally, press the TIMER button to save the settings and
switch the display to normal readout values.

1)Example for Setting Timer '1'
With frequency displayed, suppose it is desired to set Timer
'1' for a local ON Time of '16:59' and an OFF Time of '
18:01'.
Action:
Press and hold the TIMER button for 2 seconds.
Press the button sequence 1659
Press TIMER
Press the button sequence 1801
Press TIMER
If it is desired to set 'Timer 2', use the same procedure as
that for 'Timer 1'. Otherwise, Press TIMER, TIMER to exit
the 'Setting Timer' operation and return to normal frequency
display.

ENABLING/DISABLING TIMER OPERATION
Press the TIMER button.
The 'TIMER' symbol will light in addition to either or both
the timer '1' or timer '2' indication. After 2 seconds with
no entry, the display reverts back to frequency readout.
Timer '1' can be disabled/enabled by pressing the '1'
numeric digit on the 'Direct-Key-Input' keypad while the
timer enable display is showing. Timer '2' can be
disabled/enabled by pressing the numeric digit '2' on the
'Direct-Key-Input' keypad while the timer enable display is
showing.
Prior to enabling either or both timers, consider one of two
possible cases for each timer: eg.) -To Enable TIMER '1' –
(1) '-' is displayed: Press the 1 button to display '1'.
(2) '1' is displayed: Press the 1 button twice to again
display '1'.
It is important to note that the timer is enabled only when
the timer is deliberately changed from a '-' to a '1', or to
a '2'. What is displayed on the LCD display is a dash, that
is, - . They have the dash in single quotes. That operation
changes the LCD display from a dash to 1.
Even if the '1' or '2' is already displayed, the timer is
not enabled unless the '-' to '1' or '2' transition occurs.
Setting a '-' for either timer DISABLES the respective
timer. When a dash is displayed for either timer, the
respective timer is disabled.
Timers '1' and '2' Enabled
Timer '1' Enabled: Timer '2' Disabled
If either one or both the timer '1' or timer '2' are
enabled, the TIMER symbol will continue to be displayed
after the receiver is turned off. Be certain to leave the
volume setting at the desired level. The receiver will
automatically turn on and off displayed), the timer
programming in either or both timers is retained, but no
TIMER action will take place until one or both are enabled.

2)Example for Setting Overlapping Events:
With frequency displayed, suppose it is desired to record a
one hour program on one frequency with a beginning time of
'16:59'
and an ending time of '18:00', and a second program on the
same frequency with a beginning time of '18:00' and an
ending time of '19:01'.
Action:
Press and hold the TIMER button for 2 seconds.

SPECIAL USE FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS

The SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM receiver has several special
features that are referred to in the main body of this
Owner's manual but may require additional explanation.

LOCK ALL ENTRY TO KEYPAD
The receiver front panel buttons with the exception of the
POWER button and .TUNING. knob may be locked or disabled by
pressing and holding the CLR LOCK button for 3 seconds.
Press the CLR LOCK button and hold for 3 seconds. A
confirmation beep will be heard when the CLR is
pressed. .flM. will appear on the front panel display after
3 seconds to indicate that the front panel buttons and
TUNING control are locked.
Press the CLR LOCK again for 3 seconds to unlock the front
panel buttons and tuning control. The beep will again be
heard when the CLR button is pressed and the .am. indicator
on the front panel display will disappear after 3 seconds,
indicating that the TUNING control and front panel buttons
have been released.

BROADCAST BAND TUNING STEP SIZE
In the AM broadcast band, the SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM
receiver increments the frequency in 10 kHz steps when
pressing the UP and DOWN buttons.

The 10 kHz step size is practical for tuning the U.S. and
Canadian broadcast bands. However, the step size can be
changed to 9 kHz to permit practical tuning of European
broadcast stations. The tuning step size is held in
nonvolatile memory and thus is not lost during power failure
or battery changing. To select the alternate step size, With
POWER OFF Press and hold the SCAN button .while pressing the
POWER button to put the SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM receiver in
the POWER'ON'mode.

If the step size was 10 kHz prior to performing the above
procedure, then the 9 kHz step size for the broadcast band
is now programmed. To change back to
10 kHz, repeat the same procedure.

DELETE ALL MEMORY CHANNELS
If it is desired to delete all programmed memory channels,
perform the following procedure:

With POWER OFF, Press and hold the DEL button while pressing
the POWeR button to put the SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM receiver
in the POWER'ON'mode.

Hold the DEL button until a confirmation beep is heard to
indicate that ALL memory locations have been cleared.

AUTOMATIC BANDWIDTH SETTING WITH MODE SELECTION DISABLE
(ENABLE)
The SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM receiver permits automatic
setting of the bandwidth appropriate for each mode of
detection. For example, 6.0 kHz bandwidth would be selected
automatically for AM mode operation, and 2.3 kHz bandwidth
would be selected for SSB mode. Of course, pressing the
.BANDWIDTH. button temporarily overrides the automatic
setting until a mode change is made. The setting, automatic
or manual bandwidth selection with mode, is held in
inonvolatile memory and is not lost during power loss or
during battery changing. To disable the automatic bandwidth
with mode., With POWER OFF, Press and hold the'BANDWIDTH.
button while pressing the POWER button to put the receiver
in the POWER'ON'mode.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS

1) AC Input - Alternating Current power source available at
wall outlet sockets.

2) AM - Signals in which the information is conveyed by
amplitude changes of the signal. Amplitude Modulation is
used for the AM broadcast bands.

3) AGC - Automatic Gain Control which is employed in
receivers to adjust the amount of gain in the receiver's
circuitry to prevent distortion and maintain a nearly
constant audio volume level over wide variations in received
signal strength.

4) Attenuation - Loss, as applied in the text of this
manual, added prior to the input stages of the receiver to
reduce the level of very strong signals that may occur on
certain bands, in certain locations, at certain times or a
combination of all three factors. Each 10 clB (decibel) step
reduces the power of the received signal by a factor of ten,

5) CW - Continuous Wave transmission signals. Actually, the
signal is keyed on and off at precise intervals to convey
information. Morse code is the most common CW signal.

6) DC Input - Direct Current power source such as is
available from batteries or regulated power supplies.

7) Range - Ability of the receiver to faithfully
rep=eichigh quality audio over a wide range of signal
strength conditions - from very weak signals to very strong
signals.

8) Frequency - Rate of reoccurrence in hertz or cycles per
second of an electromagnetic wave or carrier.

9) FM - Signals in which the information is conveyed by
frequency changes of the signal. Frequency Modulation is
used for the FM broadcast bands.

10) Electronically Switched Filter - A multi-bandwidth
filter with high adjacent channel attenuation switched
electronically.

11) GMT - Greenwich Mean Time.

12) HF - High Frequency band extends from approximately 1.5
MHz to 30 MHz.

13) LCD - Liquid-Crystal Display - Low power consumption
displays used for wristwatches and information displays on
many types of electronic equipment.

14) LSB - Lower Side Band - The lower frequency portion,
excluding the carrier, of an AM signal. A single-sideband
signal, in this case the lower sideband, contains all of the
modulation information of amplitude modulation in one half
the bandwidth.

15) RF - Radio frequency.

16) RTTY - Radio Teletype communications.

17) Squelch - A user controlled adjustment which mutes the
audio output below a certain signal strength.

18) Synchronous Detector - An amplitude modulation detector
which utilizes a replica of the original transmitted carrier
signal to improve the reception of weak signals.

19) Synthesized - Capable of generating a large number of
different output frequencies, all related to a single,
highly stable reference source.

20) Up Conversion - A frequency conversion technique that
translates an incoming RF signal to a higher frequency.

21) USB - Upper Side Band - The higher frequency portion,
excluding the carrier of an AM signal. A single sideband
signal, in this case the upper sideband, contains all of the
modulation information of amplitude modulation in one half
the bandwidth.

22) UTC - Universal Time Coordinated.

23) VFO - Variable Frequency Oscillator.

24) VHF - Very High Frequency band extends from
approximately 30 MHz to 300 MHz.
