Power Supply
It is possible to operate the Satellit in four different ways:
-
mobile operation with batteries or accumulator
-
stationary operation on the mains or from a d.c. voltage supply.
Independent of the operating mode, a set of standby batteries
must always be fitted for the clock and the memory.
These batteries are two "Mignon" batteries IEC LR 6 or R 6.
Inserting the Standby Batteries
e
Remove the sliding cover from the back of the set.
This cover has three positions:
CLOSED
BATI. =cover can be removed. Battery compartment and mains
(')-
lead compartment are open.
,.;- = mains lead compartment open
•
Insert the batteries with correct polarity (polarity symbols are
provided in the compartment).
e
Secure the batteries with the plastic holder.
When the set is switched off and the display@) indicates "BATI."
and 5 horizontal dashes are blinking, you must
e
replace the complete set of batteries
e
When replacing batteries, connect the set to the power supply
(mains) to save the stored data.
Battery Operation
The battery set consists of:
-
6 "Mono" batteries IEC LR 20 orR 20.
-
For battery life see technical data.
-
Alkaline-manganese batteries usually have the longest life time
and are highly leakage-proof.
e
Always remove exhausted batteries.
e
If the set is not in use for long periods, remove batteries even if
they are new.
-
No responsibility can be accepted for damage due to leaking
batteries.
Operation with the GRUNDIG Dryfit Accumulator
Insert the GRUNDIG dryfit accumulator 476 instead of the batte-
ries into the battery compartment.
-
For the life time of the accumulator see technical data.
- The accumulator can be recharged at any time.
- The charging time for a fully discharged accumulator is appro-
ximately 15 hours.
-
Longer charging cannot distroy the accumulator, as this is pro-
vided with an automatic charging circuit which prevents over-
charging.
-
For charging the accumulator, it is not necessary to switch on
the set if the following conditions are met:
a) set connected to the mains
b) d.c. voltage supply of 12 - 16 Von socket
@.
e
To ensure a long life of the accumulator, this should never be
stored in discharged condition.
Checking the Condition of the Batteries or the Accumulator
e
Set switch
0
to position BATI.
Meter® now indicates the condition of the batteries or of the
accumulator:
-
pointer in the red field =
a) batteries are satisfactory
b) accumulator is charged
-
pointer in front of the red field =
a) batteries are exhausted and must be changed
b) the accumulator must be recharged.
Mains Operation
The set can be operated from 50-60Hz mains.
-
In the factory the set is adjusted to 220 ... 240V. This setting
can be changed to 110 ... 127 V.
e
Before changing the setting of the voltage selector®. the set
must be switched off.
e
Connect the mains lead to socket @.
In doing so, the batteries in the battery compartment are dis-
connected.
e
If the set is operated from the mains for long periods, remove
the batteries from the battery compartment.
Additional Information for Units Sold in Great Britain
Units sold in GB are suitable for operation from a 240V AC, 50Hz
mains supply.
We recommend that a 13A 3-pin plug fitted with a 3-5A fuse be
used.The brown lead must be connected to the live pin (marked
"L" or "brown" or "red") and the blue lead to the neutral pin
(marked "N" or "blue" or "black"). On no account should either
wire be connected to the earth pin (marked "E" or "green/yellow").
If other mains plugs are used ensure that they are protected by a
3-5A fuse.
Changing Fuses
e
Unplug the set form the mains.
•
Never make improvised repairs to defective fuses.
The fuse holder
®
can be opened with a coin.
- The fuse must only be replaced by one of the same rating, i.e. Si
I = T 315 mA (T = "slow blow").
Operation from an External DC Source
The set will operate from an external10 ... 16 V DC source connect-
ed to socket®. This facility is intended for use in cars, boats or
campers.
-
Connect the DC source with a GRUNDIG battery adapter cable
II. The batteries in the battery compartment are disconnected.
e
If the set is to be operaded for a long period from the external
DC source, remove the batteries from the battery compartment.
Aerials
for all wavebands.
Built-in Aerials for Mobile Operation
Telescopic aerial@ for FM (VHF) and SW reception.
e
For FM reception, pull out the lower part of the aerial then swi-
vel and rotate the aerial until best results are achieved.
e
For SW reception fully extend the telescopic aerial and place it
vertically.
The set is provided with a built-in ferrite rod aerial for MW and LW
reception.
e
The best position for receiving a station should be found by ro-
tating the set about its vertical axis.
Aerial Connections for Stationary Operation with an External
Aerial
An externa aerial system can be connected to socket
®.
To the clamping terminals @ a long wire aerial and an earth wire
can be connected.
e
Use switch @to switch from telescopic aerial to external aerial
connection.
To socket @ a DF aerial for long wave reception can be con-
nected.
e
Use ferrite aerial switch @to select between ferrite aerial or DF
aerial connection.
General Operation of the Set
Switching On and Off with the Function Switch
(i)
Postion • = on
position
6
= off.
-
When the set is operated from the mains, the meter® and the
display @) are permanently illuminated.
- When the set is switched off but connected to the mains, the
display @) is faintly illuminated.
- When the set is operated from the mains, the scale@ is perma-
nently illuminated when receiving AM stations.
When the set is operated from batteries, short illumination is
obtained by pressing switch
0 ·•·.
When the set is switched off, its primary side remains connected
to the mains. To disconnect the set completely from the mains, re-
move the mains plug from the wall socket.
