Transmitter to PC Connection

The JETI Duplex line of transmitters are equipped with a mini USB port. The Transmitters also come with a standard USB to mini USB cable which is used to connect your transmitter to a PC. The JETI Duplex system is fully compatible with Microsoft Windows XP and higher versions of Windows OS. After connection and confirmation, your transmitter will be identified by the PC as another memory drive. While it is connected to a PC your transmitter’s battery is also being charged via the USB port.
9.1 Memory & System Files
After your transmitter has been connected to a PC it will behave like a standard external hard drive. Your transmitter’s file directory is displayed on the PC screen. Pay close attention to moving, deleting or adding files to any open file directory, any changes performed here have a direct effect on your transmitter’s internal data
File Directory
Apps —additional user applications written in Lua programming language.
Audio —sounds, music, and acoustic warnings
Config —software configuration
Lang — language configuration
Log —telemetry data, all files use date stamp year/month/day
Manual -instruction manual
Model – programming files of individual models
Update – directory used for software updates
Voice —audio samples for speech synthesis
Devices —device definitions used for communication with intelligent devices based on EX Bus protocol
9.2 Update firmware
The JETI Duplex line of transmitters fully supports future software updates. We recommend that you check the distributor’s and/or manufacturer’s websites frequently for the most current update. How to update your transmitter’s firmware:

Connect your transmitter to a PC via a USB port
Confirm the connection
Start Jeti Studio and update your transmitter to the latest FW version. Jeti Studio requires an internet connection to update your transmitter.
After the successful data transfer, disconnect your transmitter from the PC USB port and turn OFF the transmitter. The next time that you turn your transmitter ON, the software will be updated.
With any new firmware update, no model setups or configuration settings will be lost. For safety, after performing a new update, we highly recommend that you check all functions, assignments, configurations, and model mixes. A list of new features is always released with the firmware update.

9.3 Sounds, Alarms & Acoustic Updates
At this time, the ETI firmware supports two sound files. Any sound file can be assigned to any function, switch, flight mode, telemetry alarm, or music routine. Your applications are limited only by your imagination. All sounds must be copied to the “Audio” file.
9.4 System Backup
Data backup is as easy as the standard backup you can perform on your PC. You can save all your data onto a PC hard drive or CD. The saved data will, of course, reflect your last transmitter configuration and model settings. The data recovery is as easy as copying your backed-up files back to the transmitter. This backup can be done automatically via Jeti Studio.
9.5 PC Joystick
DS-12 transmitters can be very simply used as a joystick interface for your PC. Connect your transmitter to a PC with the USB cable. Your operating system will identify the transmitter as an HID (Human Interface Device) gaming device.
9.6 Telemetry Data Logging
All telemetry data is stored on the internal SD card in the “Log” directory file. Telemetry data files are easily identifiable as .log files. The data files use date stamps with the “year/month/day” configuration. Flight logs can be viewed on the PC using the JETI “Flight Monitor” software.
9.7 Copying models between the transmitters
Configuration of all models in the transmitter is stored on the internal SD card in the directory /Model/. When you copy the selected model from one transmitter to another, simply copy the *. Jan file again to the/Mode//directory of the second transmitter.
Note: it is important that the two transmitters may not have the same software equipment, so it is possible that the configuration of the activated modules will not match each other. In this case, it is necessary to check the individual functions of the model, since an attempt to load the model by another transmitter may end up with an error message.

Battery Safety Handling Rules

10.1 Transmitter Battery Pack

The Installed battery pack must be charged from an AC voltage source using only the included wall battery charger. The included adapters work with local utility services, each country might be supplied with a different type of charger.
EU: SYS1428-2412-W2E
UK: SYS1428-2412-W3U
US: SYS1428-2412-W2
Do not use any battery other than the manufacturer-approved Power Ion 3200 DC battery pack.
Always verify the correct polarity while connecting a y pack. The red lead is positive “+” and the black polarity.
Never test a battery pack by shorting the wire leads. Do not allow the battery to overheat at any time.
Never leave your transmitter unattended at any time while it is being charged.
Never charge an overheated battery pack or in an environment warmer than 158 F (70C).
During cold months always check the battery’s capacity, do not rely on your radio’s low battery warning system.
Always check your transmitter and receiver batteries prior to each flight. Do not rely on your radio’s low battery warning system.
Do not allow the radio battery pack to come in contact with an open flame, another heat source,s or moisture at any time.

10.2 General Safety Rules

Any repair, installation, or upgrade must be performed with caution and common sense. These will require some basic mechanical skills.
For any of the upgrades which require removing the radio back cover you MUST disconnect the transmitter battery pack before attempting any work.
It is imperative to store your radio in a controlled environment. Any extreme temperatures can cause damage to sensitive electronics. A sudden change in temperature or humidity can create condensation which can permanently damage your radio.
Do not use radio during poor weather conditions. Any water or condensation can cause corrosion and could permanently disable your radio. If you suspect that moisture has entered your transmitter, turn it OFF, remove the back cover and let dry it out
Avoid use in dusty environments.
The manufacturer is not responsible for any unauthorized modifications. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance will void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This is a sophisticated hobby product and not a toy. It must be operated with caution and common sense, always avoiding any mechanical damage.
Always avoid operating close to devices that might cause harmful electromagnetic interferences.
Keep all moving parts clean and free of dust or fine debris that might damage the mechanical parts of the radio.
Do not point the transmitter antenna directly towards your model or a human body. The radiation pattern from the antenna will be shielded and provide a poor connection to your model.
Never repair, re-install, or exchange the internal memory SD card for another type.
Avoid extreme temperatures as they can cause damage to the sensitive internal SD card.
Always perform a ground range check prior to your initial flight.

10.3 Flight Safety Check

Always verify the correct position of the switches, and the gimbals, prior to turning ON your transmitter. Turn on the transmitter first, then the receiver. JETI transmitters use “Model Checking’: This safety is designed so that the model memory stores the unique serial number of the receiver that has already been assigned to the model. When the transmitter establishes communication with the receiver and the serial number does not match the number stored in the current model’s setup, the transmitter displays a warning. You will then be able to accept the change or reject the change. If you accept the change, the transmitter stores the new receiver number into the model’s setup and begins transmitting. If you reject the change, the transmitter will not communicate with the receiver and you will be allowed to select another model.
Perform a ground range check before each day’s flying session.
Check the battery voltage on both the transmitter and the receiver battery packs.
Check all channel assignments, trim, mixes, and the correct
direction of movement of your flight surfaces.
Set motor/engine kill switch and test the power train.
