1.
Turn the FT-450D off and disconnect the DC power cable.
2.
Locate the program switch thru the access hole on the bottom at the front left corner of the
radio. Carefully move the switch to the
right
(program position).
3.
Connect the serial straight through programming cable, DB9F to DB9F, connector to the
serial port COM1 in the back of your computer. Plug the DB9F connector to the CAT
connector on the FT-450D.
NOTE:
You may also use a USB to Serial adaptor such as the RT-Systems (RTS-03) being one
example, if the DB-9 (RS-232C) serial port is not available on your computer. (There are
many adapters available; however some may not function with this firmware. We recommend
using the latest USB adapter driver firmware when available). If the installation is not
successful, the radio may not power on. In this case you should not use the USB adapter. Use
another computer with a serial port
DB-9
(RS-232C) and do the firmware update with a DB-9
straight cable as described in steps #1 to #3.
4.
Leave the FT-450D turned OFF and connect the DC power cable.
