NOTE:
If the AUTO CLOCK SET is left in the ON state,
then manual setting of the clock may result in only a
temporary change of the time settings.
TIMER OPERATION
The Elite Satellit includes two programmable event
timers allowing the receivers to turn ON or OFF at
preset times The timers may be used separately
or together and may recall a currently displayed
frequency, MEMORY channel, COUNTRY channel, or a
combination of those.
In addition, programming only an OFF time
provides a Sleep timer, and programming only an ON
time provides a Wake timer. Note that the timers,
when activated, respond to the last displayed clock.
Programming the timers is a three step process. Step
one is to set the ON time, and step 2 is to assign the
OFF time. Step three is to assign a MEMORY, COUN-
TRY channel to a timer.
Setting Timer On/Off Times
Enter the TIMERS menu by pressing the ‘MENU’ key
to reach MAIN MENU, and then pressing the ‘5’ key
on the ‘Direct-Key-Input’ keypad. This brings up the
TIMERS menu.

To enable or disable TIMER 2, press the ‘TIME’ key
again. This will activate the TIMER 2 display. This dis-
play is identical to the TIMER 1 display except for its
name. Follow exactly the same procedure to enable or
disable TIMER 2.
To return to normal operation from the TIMER 2
dis- play, press the ‘TIME’ key twice. The first press
will take you to the CLOCKS display, and the second
will take you back to the VFO, MEMORY, COUNTRY
display. Note that repeatedly pressing the ‘TIME’ key
will cycle through the TIMER 1, TIMER 2, CLOCKS, and
normal screens.
If the Elite Satellit is operating from batteries, the
display will be lit only briefly when the unit is turned
OFF. If, when OFF, the ‘LIGHT’ button is pressed once,
the display will illuminate for 10 seconds and then go
out. In the ON state, the display will be lit only briefly
following control inputs. However, holding down the
LIGHT key for 3 seconds will override the time out and
allow the light to remain on continuously when the
receiver is ON.
The user must keep in mind, however, that keeping the
light on continuously when operating on batteries will
considerably reduce battery life.
Advanced settings for the backlight can be found by
pressing MENU and then the ‘5’ key to enter the BACK-
LIGHT SETTINGS menu.

Setting A Wake Or Sleep Timer
If you want a timer to act as a wake timer only, you
would program an ON time and clear an OFF time.
This will cause the receiver to turn on at the designat-
ed time and stay on until turned off manually.
If you want the timer to act as a sleep timer only, you
would clear any existing ON time and program an OFF
time. This will cause the receiver to turn off at a desig-
nated time and stay off until turned on manually.
To program only an off time, or only an on time, clear
the unwanted time on the selected timer as follows:

When the receiver is ON, or turned on by the timer,
pressing the “SNOOZE” bar [Figure 3, #33] will activate
the SNOOZE mode, causing the receiver to turn off. An
