B.If you use a FTDI cable, it does not need to be installed with a driver. You can
just plug in and use directly.
1) If your computer did not automatically install the driver, you will need to
update the driver to the latest driver
Download the latest FTDI driver at :http://www.ftdichip.com/Driver/VCP.htm
3. Software Download & Install
1) Turn on the computer, check if your computer system meets the
requirements.
2) Download the manufacture software on walkietalkiesoftware.com or CHIRP
software on https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Download
3) Install the programming software
4. Connect your Walkie Talkie with Computer
1) USB programming cable connects with the computer end.
2) Connect the other end of the cable with your walkie talkie.
3) When both ends have been connected, turn on your radio. Make sure it has
enough power during the programming procedure.
ERROR: Failed to Connect to the transceiver (Radio)
If it says it cannot connect to the radio - this means the cable is working but is not installed correctly
into the radio.
Items to Check:
Radio is turned on
The cable is FULLY inserted (it can be deceiving but there is a double click)
Hold the cable into the radio - some radios might not make contact without pressure
A way to cheat - dampen the pins of the cable before pushing it into the radio. This will give a
solid contact
