1 Beginning

First from all you should carefully read radio manual. Once you understand all the particulars you can change Mode if needed. This is fully described in the included manual. When securing bottom cover after Mode change please pay extra attention that no cable is in way of a screw.

Secondly remove cover made of foil from display.

2 Turning On and Off

By pressing Power button you should be able to start the radio. If not, please use supplied charger and charge the battery. By pressing the Power button again, you can turn radio off.

3 New Profile

If you are new to the JETI radios, please proceed according following steps.

Start the radio and press MENU button. Then enter the Model menu by pressing the Rotary knob.

Assign switch for Autorot. mode - usually it is two-state switch called Sc at the left front side of the radio. This switch will be used for Throttle Hold/Autorotation. Also assign switch for all Idle modes - usually it is tri-state switch called Sa above Sc.

Info.png Non-Spirit Jeti radio might need to get extension module for Flight modes (from swshop.jetimodel.com). Alternatively you can use only 3 Flight modes.

Info.png Instead of Autorot. flight mode you can set Throttle Cut switch.

4.2 Throttle Curve

Open Throttle curve menu - Main Menu/Heli Tuning/Throttle curve.

Disarm Throttle Hold and set Throttle curves for all Idle Modes. When you switch Idle modes, curves will change accordingly. For more advanced pilots it is recommended to set Curve type to Constant - especially when you are using Governor.

4.3 Pitch Curve

In a similar way set Pitch curve - in the most cases no changes are required. It is preconfigured to -100 to 100% linear curve. For beginners Pitch curve such as -20 to 100% is more suitable.
