Rear Panel Connectors and Switch
Operating Advice
For most operating situations, the R
EMOTE
switch on the rear panel of the VL-1000 should
be set to the “
Off ” position (unless you have connected an appropriate B
AND
D
ATA
cable for
remote power control). Before commencing initial checkout, verify that the R
EMOTE
switch is
OFF.
If the R
EMOTE
switch is on, and the VL-1000 is not connected to a Yaesu transceiver
providing remote power actuation, Error Message #1005 (which warns of “Excessive PA DC
Voltage”) will appear following the “Self Test” procedure. If you experience this situation,
check to be sure that the R
EMOTE
switch has not accidentally been turned on.
