i have been unable to find one online - best thing to try is see if you can find a dealer who is selling it and ask if you can copy a manual - they may oblige.
Hope this helps a bit :)

The unit can store up to 40 radio stations (30 preset stations for FM and 10 preset stations for AM) in its memory. You can enter every single radio station yourself or the unit can store all available radio stations automatically in ascending order
Automatic Preset Programming

2. Press and hold AM/FM for two seconds to start automatic preset programming.
3. Radio frequencies will be browsed and radiostations stored automatically. When all the available radio stations are stored or all 40(30 preset stations for FM and 10 preset stations for AM) memory locations are full,the auto preset programming function will stop.

To program your radio stations to the memory buttons; Tune to the station that you want to save, then press the memory button (located next to the FM mode button on the lower right side of Tuner) then press the number button that you want associated with that station. You may save up to 24 stations. If you want to save a station in memory 10, tune in station, press the Memory button, then press 1 followed by 0. you must press them within a couple seconds of each other, or the first number pressed will be the memory button that saves. You may save FM stations and then Save AM stations. But you will overwrite any previous station saved to a given number when using that number again. If you save an FM station on a number, then save an AM station on another number, when you press the preset number, the tuner will automatically switch radio bands to accommodate the stations given band. cool.
When you replaced the battery, it reset the radio. You will need to reprogram the radio stations you want on fm. Find the radio station you want and then press the set button on the radio and then the corresponding number on your radio (ie: set1, set2, set3, set4 or set5)
The most common problem for no FM is the failure of component F1 IF transformer. One of the windings on the transformer opens, so you have either no input, or a very low level input to the FM mixer. You need to obtain a copy of the Satellit 700 service manual, and then find F1 in the schematics. You can check the windings with a simple ohm meter to verify if one of the windings is open or not.
If F1 is defective, and I have seen many 700's with this fault, you need to replace it with an adjustable 10.7 MHz IF Transformer in a 7mm can configuration.
I found a replacement 7 mm 10.7 MHz IF Transformer at Talon Electronics. Their part number for it is IND2134, and it costs a whopping $0.80. Here is a link:
