Software installation will place a shortcut on the com-
puter Desktop. The icon indicates that the software
program is common to several Inovonics RDS encod-
ers. Do please resist the overwhelming temptation to
double-click the icon at this time. The USB driver
should first be installed, and we recommend installing this
driver whether or not the encoder’s USB port will be your pri-
mary means of addressing the unit.
Installing the
USB Driver
Power-up the 730 Encoder and
connect it to the computer us-
