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.
