PRECAUTIONS
IMPORTANT!
To remotely control radios using the
RS-BA1,
BE SURE
that you comply with your local
regulations.
The RS-BA1 is designed to remotely control radios
that have a USB port (Type B/Mini-B) or LAN port*.
Proper audio communication cannot be guaranteed
when you connect the Base station’s PC to the radio’s
ACC socket, MIC connector, or S/P DIF jack.
* Only when using:
• IC-7851
• IC-7850
• IC-7800 (firmware version 3.00 or later)
• IC-7700 (firmware version 2.00 or later)
Depending on your radio, a few functions or modes
cannot be used, or you will need to update the radio’s
firmware to operate a CW keyer, using the RS-BA1.
Depending on the PC performance (OS, environment,
etc.), the USB audio may be interrupted, or a control
by the PC software may get delayed.
If the CPU has a heavy load, the USB audio is easily
interrupted.
The settings of the installed audio player application
may be changed after connecting a radio to the PC.
For the operation of your PC and peripheral devices,
follow the instructions provided in the manuals that
come with the PC and peripheral devices.
