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. Conveniently located front panel controls allow for rapid operator programming and ease of use. The unit can be operated from either the supplied AC ADAPTER or from six "D" cell batteries (not supplied) for portable operation. A low battery voltage indication is displayed when that condition exists.
Three electronically switched IF filters are provided.
The front panel liquid crystal display provides feedback of the current status of the receiver. The seven digit frequency display provides resolution to 100 Hz accuracy in the AM broadcast, Aircraft and Shortwave bands. Resolution to 20 kHz is displayed in the FM broadcast band mode. Backlighting of the display is selectable by a front panel button. To prolong battery life with internal battery operation, the backlighting automatically turns off after a short delay following a function change or retuning of the receiver.
Reception modes include Lower/Upper Sideband (LSB),
(USB), and AM in the Shortwave, and AM broadcast bands. For the Shortwave and AM broadcast bands, a selectable sideband synchronous detector (SYNC) allows for enhanced reception by eliminating or reducing distortion due to fading signals. During FM broadcast use, stereo reception is available through the use of headphones.
Other built-in reception aids include selectable slow or fast AGC, RF attenuator for use in strong signal handling conditions, as well as treble and bass controls.
Two independent, real time clocks provide a local and alternative time selection. Also provided is a two event timer.
A programmable memory area allows for 70 independent receiver set up memories. These memories do not require battery backup and are thus unaffected by power interruptions. All parameters associated with a particular memory channel are stored including the frequency, mode, bandwidth, fast or slow AGC, RF attenuator and synchronous detector. These memory channels may be accessed manually or through a time scan with each channel monitored for a 5 second period.

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.
The AC adapter is supplied with a North American type connector. To use the unit in countries using a European
type connector, plug the North American connector into the US to Europlug adapter that is provided.
Connect the output connector of the AC adapter to the 9 VDC, 1 amp connector on the back of the receiver. Inserted batteries are automatically disconnected as
soon as the AC adapter is plugged in to this connector.
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.
BATTERY OPERATION AND INSTALLATION
The SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM receiver is designed to operate from either the supplied AC ADAPTER or from six "D" cell batteries (not supplied). NOTE: Check the batteries periodically for leakage. IF UNIT IS TO
BE STORED OR OTHERWISE NOT USED FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME, REMOVE THE BAT TERIES TO PREVENT CORROSION AND POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE RECEIVER.
Battery Installation
(1)Position receiver with the back panel towards you.
(2)Remove battery access cover by pressing on the corrugated area in the center of the cover and sliding it to your left as far as it will go. Then gently pull it straight out from the rear panel.
(3)Place 6 "D" cell alkaline type batteries into holder. Make sure the batteries are in the proper polarity posi tion as illustrated in Figure 1.
(4)Replace access cover by placing it over the left side of the opening and then sliding it to the right.
NOTE:
The SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM does not rely on the batteries for retention of memory channels. To ensure that clocks and timers are maintained following the loss of AC power or battery removal, the receiver must first be connected to a source of AC power or have batteries installed for a minimum of 10 minutes. If power is lost after this minimum 'charge' time, clocks and timer settings are maintained for a time period of approxi mately 30 minutes.

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. The original carton and packing material should be retained for repackaging should it be necessary to return the receiver. Inspect the packing material for any accessories or printed material before storing the box. Locate the registration card, fill it out. and immediately return it to Grundig to ensure registration and validation of warranty.
LOCATION
For fixed locations, the SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM should be operated from the AC ADAPTER. Keep curtains and other flammable material away from direct contact with the AC ADAPTER to avoid overheating which could result in failure or fire.
FIXED INSTALLATION
After unpacking the unit, connect the antenna system to the appropriate antenna input. Connect system ground to the compression terminal marked 'GND'. Plug the output cable of the AC ADAPTER into the 'External DC Input' connector on the rear panel of the SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM receiver. Plug the AC ADAPTER into a source of 120 VAC, 60 Hz or 230 VAC, 50 Hz power. Refer to the Figure 2 on page 11 for the diagram of a typical fixed installation
PORTABLE OPERATION
For use in a portable environment, the SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM is operated from six (6) internally mounted "D" cell batteries. These batteries are not supplied and must be installed prior to portable operation of the receiver. See BATTERY INSTALLATION section on page 9, Figure 1 of this manual. For longest battery life, alkaline batteries are recommended for this product. NOTE: REMOVE THE BATTERIES IF THE RECEIVER IS TO BE STORED OR OTHERWISE NOT OPERATED FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM DUE TO POSSIBLE BATTERY LEAKAGE OR CORROSION EFFECTS. The SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM does not rely on the batteries for retention of memory channels. To ensure that the clocks and timers are maintainea following a loss of AC power or battery removal, the receiver must first be connected to an AC power source or have batteries installed for a minimum of 10 minutes. If power is lost after this minimum 'charge' time, clocks and event timer settings are maintained for a period of approximately 30 minutes.
ANTENNA REQUIREMENTS
(Refer to Figure 2, page 11)
The SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM incorporates rear panel switches to select between the internal whip antenna and various types of external antennas. The built-in 'WHIP' antenna is available for use on all bands. For 100 kHz to 30 MHz operation, two antenna connectors are also provided. 'ANTENNA 1' is a 50 Ohm, SO-239 coaxial input requiring a mating PL-259 connector. This input would typically be used as the primary AM broadcast and shortwave band antenna input. Antennas such as dipoles, trap dipoles, verticals and beams will provide the best results, depending upon the desired receiving frequency. 'ANTENNA 2' is a compression terminal type connection, providing high-impedance (500 Ohms typical) input. Antennas such as long wires or endfed Zepps will provide the best results for 'ANTENNA 2'. For reception in the 87-108 MHz and 118-137 MHz range, the 'FM/AIR' 75 Ohm "F" connector terminal is also provided. Outside TV antennas, folded dipoles or coaxial antennas will provide the best results with this input for reception of the FM broadcast and Aircraft bands. The best antenna for any of the previously mentioned inputs will depend on the frequency range and time of day for the particular signal in question. Refer to publications such as the ARRL Handbook or ARRL Antenna Manual (available in most public libraries) for help on selection and/or construction of the antennas mentioned above.
If you have questions about antennas, contact Grundig Technical Support at, 1(800) 872-2228 in the U. S. A., or 1 (800) 637-1648 in Canada.
