SUPPLIED ITEMS

Thank you for choosing this Icom product. The cloning cable is designed to connect an Icom transceiver or receiver and a PC for data cloning using an Icom cloning software. The data cable is designed to connect an Icom transceiver (Rekeying Management transceiver) and a PC for doing the OTAR (Over-The-Air-Rekeying) operation. Please read these instructions thoroughly before using the cable.

PRECAUTIONS

CAUTION: USE ONLY INDOORS! NEVER ex-

pose the cables 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 cable to the PC’s USB port directly, or to a self-powered USB hub.

Approximately 20 mA of current is required. Insufficient current capacity of the USB port can cause unstable cloning operation and a data error.
