CAUTION: USE ONLY INDOORS! NEVER
ex-
pose the cables to rain, snow or any liquids.
NEVER
let metal, wire, or other objects touch any in-
ternal part of the connectors.
CAUTION: NEVER
use a USB cable other than the
OPC-1637.
DO NOT
extend the USB cable. When
the cable longer than 1.5 m (4.9 ft) is used, a data
error may occur.
DO NOT
use harsh solvents such as benzine or alco-
hol when cleaning, as they will damage the cables.
Ensure that your PC supports USB port operation by
confirming the Universal Serial Bus controller is in the
PC’s Device Manager.
Connect the cable to the PC’s USB port directly, or to
a self-powered USB hub.
Approximately 20 mA of current is required. Insuffi-
cient current capacity of the USB port can cause un-
stable cloning operation and a data error.
CAUTION:
You MUST install the USB driver BEFORE you
connect the cable to the PC. Otherwise you will
have to:
q
disconnect the cable
w
install the driver
e
reconnect the cable
D
Cloning software compatibility
The connector of OPC-478UC, OPC-966U, and OPC-
1122U USB type cloning cables are basically the
same as the same numbered RS-232C type cables.
Therefore, you can use the USB type cables with most
of the Icom cloning software that require the RS-232C
type cables.
IMPORTANT:
Some Icom cloning software can only
select ports 1 to 4. When several external devices,
such as a printer, scanner, or hard-disk drive are con-
nected to the USB port, the port number available for
the cloning software may be port 5 or higher. There-
fore, you must first change the external device to a
port number other than 1 to 4.
