SEEK FUNCTION
DESCRIPTION
The Elite Satellit incorporates a SEEK function
which allows the user to search for signals in
VFO, MEMORY or COUNTRY mode which have signal
strengths that exceed a predetermined level which the
user determines by the setting of the 'SQUELCH' knob
[Figure 1, # 15].
VFO MODE
To use SEEK in VFO mode, proceed as follows:
•
Select the frequency range you would like to scan.
This can be FM, MW, LW, SW or AIR.
•
Press the 'SEEK' key [Figure 1, # 13]. The receiver
will scan through the selected band in 5 kHz steps
on LW band, 9 or 10 kHz steps on MW band, 5 kHz
steps on SW band, and 100 kHz steps on FM band.
The receiver will remain on that signal until the
'SEEK' key is pressed again.
•
If the receiver continues to SEEK but cannot find
a signal, you may press 'SEEK' again to stop the
SEEK.

T-SCAN FUNCTION
The T.SCAN function of the Elite Satellit allows the user
to mark numerous channels in the MEMORY, and/or
COUNTRY, memories for selective scanning.

MEMORY & COUNTRY MODE
To use SEEK in MEMORY and COUNTRY modes, select-
ed frequencies must be programmed into several of
the MEMORY and/or COUNTRY channels. Program-
ming of MEMORY and COUNTRY channels is covered
on page 11. Once MEMORY and/or COUNTRY chan-
nels are programmed as desired, proceed as follows:
•
Press the 'MEMORY' or 'COUNTRY' soft key to
enter the desired mode.
•
Press the 'SEEK' key. The receiver will step through
all programmed MEMORY or COUNTRY locations
until it finds a signal that exceeds the squelch set-
ting. It will stop on that signal and will stay there
until the 'SEEK' key is pressed again.
Note: Search under MEMORY or COUNTRY operates
according to the following rules:
1.
When currently listening to the SW/MW/LW band
that is not AM SYNC or SSB, the radio will only
search for stations that are not AM SYNC or SSB in
the SW/MW/LW band
2.
When listening to AM SYNC or SSB mode in SW/
MW/LW band, the radio will only search for AM
SYNC or SSB station in SW/MW/LW band.
3.
When currently listening to the FM band, the radio
will only search for stations in the FM band
4.
When listening to the AIR band, the radio will only
search for stations in the AIR band

CLOCK & TIMER FUNCTIONS
TIME DISPLAY
The Elite Satellit incorporates dual time clocks allowing
two 24 hour clocks to be set and maintained.
The two-event timer functions are also derived from
the displayed clock. Therefore the clocks must be set
first for proper TIMER operation, and the clock select-
ed for display must be the same one (GMT or Local)
for which the timers are programmed.
TIMER settings are stored in non volatile memory and
are maintained regardless of how long power has
been removed.
When the receiver is in the ON state, the time is dis-
played in the upper right hand corner of the display,
regardless of which menu or operating mode is select-
ed. When the receiver is in the OFF state, the time
is displayed prominently in the upper portion of the
dis- play, and if either timer is enabled, timer settings
are displayed in the bottom portion of the display. The
time on the display can also be turned off manually in
the menu.
If the time in any menu or display is observed to be
flashing on and off at one second intervals, it indicates
that the selected clock is not set.
Selecting between Local time and GMT time is
accomplished by pressing and releasing the 'TIME'
key [Figure 1, #14] three times. This will bring up the
CLOCKS menu, which allows the user to press the soft
key along the right hand side of the display labeled
"GMT" or "LOCAL". When the receiver is in the OFF
state, pressing the 'TIME' key will toggle between
Local and GMT.
•
With the receiver turned on, press the 'MENU' soft
key which will activate the MAIN MENU. Then press
the '6' key on the 'Direct-Key-Input' keypad, to acti-
vate the SYSTEM SETTINGS menu.
•
Item 3 on the SYSTEM SETTINGS menu reads:
"3 AUTO CLOCKSET OFF / FROM RDS.
You will note that either "OFF" or "FROM RDS"
is shown in reverse video. Pressing '3' on the
'Direct-Key -Input' keypad, will toggle the reverse
video curser between "OFF" and "Auto set from
rds". If necessary,press the '1' key to move the
curser to "FROM RDS".
•
Item 3 on the menu reads: "LOCAL TIME OFFSET
-- /+". This refers to whether or not your Local time
is less than or greater than GMT. For example, the
Western hemisphere is less than GMT and the East-
ern hemisphere is greater. Therefore, if you lived in
the Western hemisphere, you would use the '3' key
to toggle the curser to ' - '.

•
Item 4 on the menu reads "LOCAL TIME OFFSET
00:00 HOURS". This refers to how much your local
time is offset from GMT. For example, in the East-
ern Time Zone of the USA the offset is 5:00 hours.
(1)
To change this setting, press '4' on the 'Di-
rect-Key-Input' keypad. This will highlight the off-
set time.Use the 'Direct-Key-Input' keypad keys
to enter the desired offset, ignoring the colon.
(2)
Use the 'Direct-Key-Input' keys to enter the
desired offset.
(3)
Press the 'STORE' key to save, the offset will no
longer be highlighted.
(4)
Press the '9' key to exit and return to normal
operation.
SETTING THE 24 HOUR CLOCKS MANUALLY
If you are not in a location where adequate signal
quality can be obtained on one of the RDS signals,
the Local and GMT clocks will need to be set manually.
This is accomplished using the SET CLOCKS menu. To
reach this menu, the unit must be in the ON state.
Then press the 'MENU' soft key. This will bring up the
MAIN MENU. From the MAIN MENU, press the '3' key
on the 'Direct-Key-Input' keypad. This will activate the
SET CLOCKS menu.To use SEEK in VFO mode, proceed
as follows:
Setting Local Time
•
To set the Local time, press MENU, SET CLOCKS and
then press the '1' key. This will highlight the 4 digits
on the right side of the LOCAL TIME SET. Enter
the current local time using the keypad and press
STORE to save.
•
Using the 'Direct-Key-Input' keypad, key in the
desired time, ignoring the colon. (HINT: Key in a
time about one minute ahead of the actual time
and wait.)
•
Example: For 16:05, press in sequence '1', '6', '0',
'5'. The Local time set line on the display will now
appear as: " LOCAL TIME SET 16:05 "
•
When the actual time agrees with the displayed
time, press the 'STORE' key. The entered time will
now be shown, the menu numbers will return, and
the clock will begin running.
•
To exit the SET CLOCKS menu, press the '9' key on
the 'Direct-Key-Input' keypad.
• Note that after setting the Local Time the GMT time
will update accordingly per the offset "+" or "-" in
menu item 3 and the hour offset in menu item 4.
