I don't think it is at odds with the FAQ. Notice the part that says "at
least until you want to turn the rig off."
I think you *would* want to turn it off at some point.

"I understand that if I short two pins from the ACC connector on the
back I can turn the rig on. When shorting those two pins is it
momentary or constant?
"Momentary (at least 0.5 second). Or you can leave it on permanently,
at least until you want to turn the rig off."

Stewart,
See page 44 of the manual. You cannot simply strap between ACC pins 5
and 8 - that connection must be removed after the power off command is
sent.

I have a K3 that I wish to operate remotely.
I am happy to leave it running all the time, but I have a
computer controlled mains relay on the input of the PSU that I can
use to power cycle it if there is a problem.
Can I just put a link between pins 5 & 8 of the aux plug and
power on/off via the PSU mains?
