Grundig 800 MILLENNIUM Stereo Receiver User Manual


 
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 SELECT'
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-Input' keys. While entering a frequency, if
an incorrect frequency is entered, pressing the ' '
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
* 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 '.' button acts as an
'ENTER' and causes immediate response to the entered
frequency. If you do not press the decimal '.'a second time
at the end, the receiver will automatically enter the 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:
97.7 MHz
Press
.
121.9 MHz

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.
