SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
WORD
DEFINITION
CAUTION
Equipment damage may occur.
NOTE
If disregarded, inconvenience only.
No risk of personal injury, fire or
electric shock.
CAUTION: USE ONLY INDOORS! NEVER
ex
-
pose the data cable 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 cloning cable to the PC’s USB port di
-
rectly, or to a self-powered USB hub.
Approximately 20 mA of current is required for the
cloning cable. Insufficient current capacity of the USB
port can cause unstable cloning operation and a data
error.
D
Cloning software compatibility
The USB type cloning cables, OPC-478UC/OPC-966U/
OPC-1122U, are almost the same as the RS-232C
type cloning cables, OPC-478/OPC-966/OPC-1122.
Therefore, most of the Icom cloning software which
require the RS-232C type cables can be used with
USB type cables.
IMPORTANT:
Some Icom cloning software can only
select ports 1 to 4. When several peripheral equip
-
ment, such as a printer, scanner and hard-disk drive
are connected to the USB port, the port number avail
-
able for the cloning software may be port 5 or higher.
Therefore, you cannot choose the proper port number.
