Grundig 800 manual Getting Started

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

29,660 kHz

Press

14,258.1 kHz

Press

OR

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

Press

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.
