The 60-watt VHF Low-Band FTL-1011, 40-watt VHF High-
Band FTL-2011 and 25-wattUHFFTL-7011 are rugged, full-fea-
tured FM transceivers designed for flexible mobile and base
stationbusiness communications. Each model is available with
either a
-4 or-12suffix,with acapacityof either4or 12channels,
respectively
.
Reliability is assured by a highly integrated surface mount
circuitdesignandadie-castaluminumchassis.Importantchan-
nel frequency data is storedinEEPROM, and is easilyprogram-
mable by dealers using a personal computer and the Yaesu
FRB-2 Interface Box, T9101410 Cable and CE-5 or VPL-1 Soft-
ware.
Special features include a built-in CTCSS (ContinuousTone
Coded Squelch System) and in the 12-channel versions, two
sets of scanning channels, one set preselectable by the dealer
and another operator selectable.The operator can select which
set to scan, and also two priority channels.Dealerscanprogram
Busy Channel Lockout, transmitter time out timers and scan
stop activities for talkback on the paused channel, priority
channel or the home channel (onwhich scanningwas initiated).
Scanningis not provided in the 4-channel versions.
Each transceiver issupplied with a mobilebracket andhand
microphone. Options include the FP-711 Power Supply for op-
erationfrom the AC mains, the FDS-1 DigitallyCoded Squelch
Unit and F2D-4 2-Tone Decoder programmable by your dealer.

set when last used).
In4-channelversions press the CHANNEL button tochangechan-
nels. In 12-channel versions, the display should show either a
channel number or scan mode indicator (Sc,
Ur, SP or UP). If E2 is
displayed instead, the transceiver has not yet been programmed
with channel frequencies: switch off the power and contact your
network administrator or Yaesu dealer.
If a scan mode indicator is
displayed, you can press the
SCAN button to display a channel
number, and turn the selectorto change channels.

played).The
SCAN modes and their corresponding displays are as
follows:
Display Scanning Function
Sc Scan all channels

SP
Monitor one channel and pre-programmedpriority(ies)
UP
Scan user-selected channels with user priority(ies)
The user-selected channels for the Ur and UP modes are those
you can set yourself, as described
in the box on the next page. The
priority channels are those onwhich signals will take priority over
signals received on other channels: that is, if a signal appears on a
priority channel while another appears on a non-priority channel,
the priority signal will beheard, and not the other.Up to two of the
installed channels maybe designated by your network administra-
torordealeraspre-programmed priority channels for the
SP mode
(theradio does not indicate which they are),and you can program
any two channels as user priorities for the
UP mode. The non-pri-
ority channel in the
SP mode is the onelast displayed.
While a scan mode is displayed, you can select another by
pressing the
PRI button repeatedly (thedisplay will cycle through
the above). Make sure the microphone is in its hanger if you want

Installation
Normally, your Yaesu Dealer will provide completeinstallation
of all stations in your system. However, basicinstallation informa-
tion is provided here for your reference.
For mobile service, your transceiver should be installed so the
controls,indicatorsand microphoneareeasilyaccessiblefor opera-
tion and viewing, without interfering with road vision, and sothat
the loudspeakermaybe easilyheard.Theradio may be installed in
any position without loss of performance. Typical locations are
beneath the dashboard or atop the transmission tunnel in small
vehicles, oroverhead in a truck cabin.
The MMB-48 universal mounting bracket and mounting hard-
ware aresupplied with the transceiver.
Mobile Mounting Procedure
0 Usingthemounting bracket asa template, mark thelocationsof
the mounting holes in the desired position.Use a
3/16" diame-
ter bit to drill the holes after making certain that there will be
enough space for the transceiver, connecting cables and con-
trols. Secure the bracket with the screws, washers and nuts
supplied,asshown in the drawingon the next page.
0
Position the transceiver in the bracket so that the holes in the
sidepanelsarealigned withthoseinthesidesof thebracket, and
bolt the transceiver into place with the supplied short screws
and flatwashers.
0 Themicrophonehanger must be installed soas to make electri-
cal contact with the car body. Otherwise the hanger may be
installed wherever convenient.

to the cigarettelighter orother existing circuitsmay result in over-
load, or degrade transceiver performance.
Always use the supplied DC power cable, which includes fuses
to protect you, the vehicle and the equipment. If the cable is too
short, use
#12 AWG stranded,insulated copper wire to lengthen it.
Use the shortest length possible, connected to the end of the DC
cable that doesnot have connectorsinstalled.
Refer to the diagramsbelow for power cable connection details.
0 Before connecting the supplied DC cable to the transceiver,
connect the RED lead of the DC cable to the POSITIVE
(+)
battery (orpower supply)terminal, and theBLACK lead to the
NEGATIVE
(-) terminal.
0 ConnecttheDC powercableto theconnectoronthecablepigtail
attheback of the transceiver.
0 Connect the coaxialplug on the antenna cable (notsupplied)to
the coaxialantenna jack onthe transceiver.Antenna impedance
must be
50 ohms at the operating frequency.
0 Connect the microphoneplug to thejack onthe transceiver.
0 If anoptional externalspeaker is to be installed,insert the plug
from the speaker into the
EXT SP jack onthe rear (disablingthe
internal speaker).

Maintenance And Service
Keep the outside of the transceiver cleanby wiping with a soft
cloth as necessary. Avoid rain or immersion in water, and protect
theradio fromdustas much aspossible.Do not openthecase.If the
radio fails to operate, check the cable connections, and inspect the
fusesin the
DC cable.
Regular Maintenance Plan
Your Yaesu dealer will advise you of the maintenance plan that
best suits your needs. We recommend that the transceiver be re-
turned to your Yaesu dealer at least once every two years, for
testingof receivingsensitivityand transmitter power output.If the
need for servicing does arise, phone your Yaesu dealer for an
appointment.
He will be pleased to answer any service-related
questions,and his qualifiedservicetechnicianswill make surethat
your radio is back in serviceasquicklyas possible.
Fuse Replacement
If a fuse is blown try to determine if the failure was caused by
something outside of the radio (like
a short circuit due to a worn
cable). Contact your dealer at once if you do not find the cause.
Replace fuses only with the sametype installed.
Service Information
If the transceiver fails to operate, check the fuses in the power
cable. If either is blown, attempt to locate and correct the cause of
the problem before replacing the fuse(s).These radios have no
user-serviceableparts inside.
