timer as a Sleep timer. For a Wake timer, program an ON 
time and remove the OFF time. 
To set the OFF time, press the  button again to 
display OFF time. 
Press the desired Direct-Key-Input buttons to enter a new 
OFF time. Enter the time in HH:MM and in 24 hour format. Press the  button to remove the OFF time, if desired. 
Press the button again to enter TIMER 2 ON 
time. 
Press the  button again to enter TIMER 2 OFF 
time. 
Finally, press the   button to save the settings and 
switch the display to normal readout values. 
1)Example for Setting Timer 1 With frequency displayed, suppose it is desired to set Timer 1 for a local ON Time of 16:59 and an OFF Time of  18:01. 
Action: 
Press and hold the  button for 2 seconds. 
 
Press the button sequence  
 
Press  
Press the button sequence  
 
Press  
 If it is desired to set Timer 2, use the same procedure as that for Timer 1. Otherwise, 
Press , to exit the Setting Timer operation 
and return to normal frequency display.  ENABLING/DISABLING TIMER OPERATION  
Press the  button. The TIMER symbol will light in addition to either or both the timer 1 or timer 2 indication. After 2 seconds with no entry, the display reverts back to frequency readout. Timer 1 can be disabled/enabled by pressing the 1 numeric digit on the Direct-Key-Input keypad while the timer enable display is showing. Timer 2 can be disabled/enabled by pressing the numeric digit 2 on the Direct-Key-Input keypad while the timer enable display is showing. Prior to enabling either or both timers, consider one of two possible cases for each timer:  eg.) -To Enable TIMER 1 – 
(1) - is displayed: Press the  button to display 1. 
(2) 1 is displayed: Press the  button twice to again display 1.  It is important to note that the timer is enabled only when the timer is deliberately changed from a - to a 11, or to a 2. Even if the 1 or 2 is already displayed, the timer is not enabled unless the - to 1 or 2 transition occurs.  Setting a - for either timer DISABLES the respective timer.

Timers 1 and 2 Enabled 
  Timer 1 Enabled: Timer 2 Disabled 
If either one or both the timer 1 or timer 2 are enabled, the 
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. If both timers are disabled (- - is displayed), the timer programming in either or both timers is retained, but no TIMER action will take place until one or both are enabled.

CLOCK AND TIMER FUNCTIONS, contd.
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  followed within 2 seconds by depression of  
the  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 . 
Press  followed within 2 seconds by depression(s) 
of the  button until the 2 is displayed with MEMORY 29 
indicated. 
After 3 seconds, the display reverts to the frequency readout.  To set an event with no memory channel to be recalled, exit the memory mode before enabling the event. In this case, the SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM receiver maintains its current settings. Refer to ENABLING/ DISABLING TIMER OPERATION to enable or disable either of the two timers.

SPECIAL USE FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS 
The SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM receiver has several special features that are referred to in the main body of this Owners manual but may require additional explana-tion.  LOCK ALL ENTRY TO KEYPAD The receiver front panel buttons with the exception of the 
 button and TUNING knob may be locked or 
disabled by pressing and holding the  button for 3 
seconds. 
Press the  button and hold for 3 seconds. A 
confirmation beep will be heard when the  is 
pressed.   will appear on the front panel display 
after 3 seconds to indicate that the front panel buttons and 
TUNING control are locked. 
Press    again for 3 seconds to unlock the front 
panel buttons and tuning control. The beep will again 
be heard when the button is pressed and the  
indicator on the front panel display will disappear 
after 3 seconds, indicating that the TUNING control 
and front panel buttons have been released. 
 
BROADCAST BAND TUNING STEP SIZE In the AM broadcast band, the SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM receiver increments the frequency in 
10 kHz steps when pressing the  and  buttons. The 10 kHz step size is practical for tuning the U.S. and Canadian broadcast bands. However, the step size can be changed to 9 kHz to permit practical tuning of Euro-pean broadcast stations. The tuning step size is held in nonvolatile memory and thus is not lost during power failure or battery changing. To select the alternate step size:  
With POWER OFF Press and hold the  button 
while pressing the  button to put the SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM receiver in the POWER ON mode. 
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.  DELETE ALL MEMORY CHANNELS If it is desired to delete all programmed memory channels, perform the following procedure:  
With POWER OFF, Press and bold the  button 
while pressing the  button to put the SATELLIT 800 
MILLENNIUM receiver in the POWER ON mode. 
 
Hold the  button until a confirmation beep is heard to indicate that ALL memory locations have been cleared.  AUTOMATIC BANDWIDTH SETTING WITH MODE SELECTION DISABLE (ENABLE) The SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM receiver permits automatic setting of the bandwidth appropriate for each mode of detection. For example, 6.0 kHz bandwidth would be selected automatically for AM mode operation, and 2.3 kHz bandwidth would be selected for SSB mode. Of course, pressing the BANDWIDTH button temporarily overrides the automatic setting until a mode change is made. The setting, automatic or manual bandwidth selection with mode, is held in nonvolatile memory and is not lost during power loss or during battery changing. To disable the automatic bandwidth with mode;  
With POWER OFF, Press and hold the BANDWIDTH 
button while pressing the  button to put the receiver in 
the POWER ON mode.  To enable Automatic Bandwidth Selection with Mode operation, repeat the same procedure.
