[. . . ] 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.

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 Enter frequency as follows: (A) The Shortwave and AM broadcast bands enter in kHz (Kilohertz). 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 '.

'a second time at the end, the receiver will automatically enter the frequency after a slight delay. 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. . at the end, the receiver will automatically enter the frequency after a slight delay. 16 GETTING STARTED, cont'd.
