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.
