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:

disconnect the cable

install the driver

reconnect the cable

 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.
