This is the communications port (Com Port) that you have selected to communicate from your personnel computer
to the R4500C. You will need to use a standard USB A Male to USB Mini communication offload cable which is
provided to you by ATS. The first time you start ATSWinRec after installation you'll be asked to select a Com port
from a provided list. This is a list of communication ports currently residing on your computer. After the selection is
made it will be the default Com port selected during subsequent sessions using ATSWinRec. The Com Port can be
changed by selecting “Com Port” from the “Settings” menu and selecting a new Com Port from the list provided.
This selection will then be the new default selection.

Mode” by selecting “PC” from the “Program Menu” of the R4500C. This needs to be done while you are
connected to your PC and after you have booted up the ATSWinRec program.
