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
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 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 ('L) or alternate time clock by pressing the
button.
Press and hold the
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
button can be pressed to erase erroneous
entries. Press the
I 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 button until the colon flashes
rapidly.
Press the following sequence of numeric buttons:
When the actual time is 13:01, Press the
button.
The clock is now started.
TIMER OPERATION
The SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM includes two program-
mable 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.
