Grundig S800 Millenium World Receiver Use And Care Guide

  
FRONT PANEL DESCRIPTION 
1. Power - Press this button to turn the unit on or off.  2. Headphone Jack - This connector accepts a 1/8 stereo/mono headphone connector. Stereo reception is possible only in the FM mode. All speaker outputs are automatically switched off when using the headphones.  3. Volume - With the receiver on, adjust this control clockwise to increase the audio level from the receivers speaker, external speaker, or from headphones. Be certain to set the volume setting at the desired...

FRONT PANEL DESCRIPTION, contd. 
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. 
 VFO - Press to place the receiver in the normal variable 
frequency tuning mode (VFO). Select desired fre-
quency, mode, attenuator, synchronous detector, AGC, 
Bandwidth, etc. 
 SKIP - In the memory mode, press to skip the current 
memory channel for a Scan operation. An S will be 
displayed to the right of the...

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.  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.  3. MEMORY 00 - This annunciator indicates current memory location from 00 to 69. MEMORY will light when the receiver enters the memory mode. Refer to MEMORY FUNCTIONS on...

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). 
 2. SHORTWAVE ANTENNA SELECT - This switch selects 
one of three possible antenna systems to be used for the 
100 kHz to 30 MHz antenna input. Positions 1 and 2...

  
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...

GETTING STARTED, contd. 
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. In some cases, the worldwide broadcast station may not announce its exact operating frequency, but will announce the METER band in which it is operating or to which band it will move to improve worldwide reception at a particular...

GETTING STARTED, 
contd. 
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 stations transmitting frequency. Press the AM SYNC button to activate synchronous operation. If adjacent channel interference or any other undesired signal is sufficiently strong, the synchronous detector may lock...

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, 00-09 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. With memory locations programmed, you can use the SCAN...

 
 20
SCAN FUNCTIONS SCAN DESCRIPTION The SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM provides a time scan function of programmed memory channels using the 
button. Scan will begin and end within a 10 channel block of programmed memory channels as indicated by the most significant digit of the selected memory channel number. 
 The receiver will stop at each programmed memory channel within the block for 5 seconds and then increment to the next memory channel. Memory channels that are programmed to be skipped will not be...

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...
