TABLE OF CONTENTS Thank you for purchasing the GRUNDIG SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM Shortwave Receiver.
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 shorwave 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.
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. Keep curtains and other flammable materials out of direct contact with the AC ADAPTER to avoid overheat ing. GRUNDIG assumes no responsibility for damage due to operation with an AC adapter other than the one supplied with this unit.
POWER SUPPLY, cont'd. FIGURE 1: BATTERY INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL BATTERY SUPPLY: 9 VDC 6 X IEC-LR20 OR "D" CELLS DO NOT LEAVE BATTERIES IN UNIT FOR EXTENDED PERIODS. CHECK BATTERIES OFTEN.
INSTALLATION 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.

FRONT PANEL DESCRIPTION 1. Power - Press this button to turn the unit on or off. 11. SSB USB-LSB- Press to select the SSB mode of operation ('SYNC' must be turned off). Successive depressions alternately select the 'LSB' or 'USB' modes as displayed. The SSB mode of operation is not accessed in either the FM or Aircraft band modes. Pressing the 'SSB USB-LSB' button while 'AM SYNC' mode is engaged will alternately select the upper or lower sideband portions of the AM signal being received. 2.
FRONT PANEL DESCRIPTION, cont'd. BEEP - The 'beep' tone is provided to indicate that entries have been accepted or to notify of error. Press this button to enable or disable the 'beep'. 16. Direct- Key-Input Numeric Keys - Keys 0 thru 9 plus the'.' key are used to make direct numeric entries of frequencies, memory channel numbers and meter band designators. VFO - Press to place the receiver in the normal variable frequency tuning mode (VFO).
LCD DISPLAY DESCRIPTION 1. TIMER - This annunciator indicates the state of the Timer as either Active or Inactive. Refer to the 'CLOCK AND TIMER FUNCTIONS' section on page 21. 9. SW 120 METER - Indicates the shortwave band designators that define a range of frequencies for each band as follows: 2. LOCK - When illuminated, this annunciator indicates that the Main 'TUNING' knob and all front panel keypads (except for the POWER button) are not active. Shortwave Band Designators 3.
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). 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.
GETTING STARTED Enter frequency as follows: (A) The Shortwave and AM broadcast bands enter in kHz (Kilohertz). A maximum of 6 digits may he entered. Examples: 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.
GETTING STARTED, cont'd. 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.
GETTING STARTED, cont'd. 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 station's transmitting frequency. Press the 'AM SYNC' button to activate synchronous operation.
MEMORY FUNCTIONS 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, 0009 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.
SCAN FUNCTIONS SCAN DESCRIPTION The SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM provides a time scan function of programmed memory channels using the Press the 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'( SKIP I' button.
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.
CLOCK AND TIMER FUNCTIONS, SETTING TIMER ON/OFF TIMES Press Press and hold the 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.
CLOCK AND TIMER FUNCTIONS, cont'd. Timers '1' and '2' Enabled Press Press 'CLR/LOCK' (enters no OFF Time for timer '1') Timer '1' Enabled: Timer '2' Disabled If either one or both the timer '1' or timer '2' are enabled, the Press 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 as programmed.
CLOCK AND TIMER FUNCTIONS, cont'd. 3) Example for Setting Events on Two Different Memory Channels: PROGRAMMING MEMORY 08 in Timer '1' and MEMORY 29 in Timer '2': With frequency displayed, Press 'MEMO' followed within two seconds by button sequence: Press the followed within 2 seconds by depression of button until the '1' is displayed with 'MEMORY 08'. After 3 seconds, the display reverts to the frequency readout. With frequency displayed, press followed within 2 seconds by button sequence .
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. 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.
