Hmm, I'm confused. When you plug in the cable the radio does something? 
Yaesu radios shouldn't do anything unless you push a button on the 
radio. If something is happening just because you plug in the cable, I'd 
suspect a problem with the cable or radio or both.

However, you should probably:
1. Plug the USB connector into the computer
2. Plug the cable into the radio
3. Power the radio on into set/clone mode
4. Then follow the Yaesu instructions in the User Guide on the chirp
    website.
