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 by the clock display. 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. BEEP TONES The SATELLIT 800 MILLENNIUM responds to all key depressions with an audible beep unless the beep has been disabled by the BEEP button. No beep is generated under any condition for depressions of the TUNING keys when in VFO mode. Beep tones indicate the following: One short tone for a key depression. One long, high tone when storing a memory channel. One long, low tone for any illegal key depression. FIRST STEPS Please refer to the front panel illustration and set the controls as described below.
