When connecting to the radio’s [USB] port
1. System requirements
• A PC that has a USB 1.1, 2.0 or 3.0 port
• Icom CI-V command capable radio that has a [USB]
port (Type B/Mini-B)
• The USB cable (supplied to the RS-BA1 or a radio)
2. Install a USB driver
CAUTION:
•
NEVER
connect the radio to the PC with the USB
cable until the USB driver installation has been
completed.
• The driver is not supported by the Windows
®
auto-
matic recognition system.
To use the USB cable between the radio and the PC,
you must first install a USB driver.
• The USB driver comes with the RS-BA1. Or down-
load from the Icom website.
NOTE:
When a PC with USB 3.0 port is used for
operating the radio, confirm the driver name. If the
name “Silicon Laboratories CP210x USB to UART
Bridge (Driver Removal)” is displayed on the
Control Panel screen, uninstall it and then install
the latest driver.
The latest driver and installation guide can be down-
loaded from here:
