The new DC/DS-16 transmitters were developed and produced with
the cooperation of professional and world champion pilots. These
transmitter were created with the goals of maximum utility, simple
handling, maximum durability and the ultimate reliability of their
mechanical parts. The metal case, with its chemically resistant
outside surface treatment, provides maximum protection for the
interior components. The straightforward case shape makes
servicing easy. The metal, quad ball bearing equipped, stick gimbals
with their magnetic Hall sensors are another revolutionary design
concept used to make the DC/DS-16 among the world’s most
advanced R/C systems.
Purposefully placed at the top of the transmitter, the 3.8“ backlit, LCD
display with its wide viewing angle offers nearly perfect visibility in
just about any lighting condition. Thanks to its high resolution
display and use of a relatively large number of graphic images it was
possible to create a simple and intuitive setup procedure for
displaying telemetric data.
The DUPLEX EX family of products have been equipped with an
improved telemetric data transfer system which can be viewed on
the LCD transmitter display or saved for later analysis on a PC. The
transmitter allows the setup of audible notifications (optionally
created by the user), which can be related to actual telemetric values
or to sound alarms or signals which have been assigned to
conditions of various control elements.
Duplex 2,4GHz – the DC/DS-16 transmitters feature the Duplex
2.4GHz, frequency hopping, digital, data stream system originally
developed by Jeti Model in the Czech Republic. This system has been
reliably used for many years.
Built-in Telemetry – from the start, the DC/DS-16 transmitters were
designed and built with many attractive features and include the full
integration of all Duplex telemetry sensors.
Transmitters - these designs emphasize use comfort, state-of-the-
art appearance and use premium quality materials.
Precise Metal Gimbals – the transmitter gimbals are equipped with
Hall sensors and ball bearings for precision movement with an
almost unlimited lifespan.
LCD Display – oversized 3.8“ backlit LCD display with 320x240
resolution which is highly visable under any light conditions.
Li-Ion Battery – provides a proven and reliable energy source with a
high capacity (3200mAh) and a long service life.
Easy Charging – simply connect the wall power supply to the
transmitter. The DC/DS-16 may also be charged through their USB to
PC interface.The charging progress is shown on the DC/DS-16
display.

(3 wires X, Y, S ). Pay close attention to the wire lengths. Connect
the longest wire as the first one from the outside of the
transmitter (3 connectors X, Y, S).
9. Secure the stick assembly wires into their holders.
10. Reconnect transmitter battery pack and reinstall radio back
cover and cover screws.

5. Carefully remove both control stick assemblies. Gently pull in
your direction (toward the transmitter back side). This upgrade
will be done outside of the transmitter case.
6. Unscrew the upper part of the stick assembly (anticlockwise).
7. Insert the connecting wires through the hollow opening of the
transmitter stick.

3. Remove the stick assembly connecting wires from their holders.
4. Remove both machine installation screws for each of the
control stick assemblies.
After installation of the optional stick ends with switch
or button; make sure that while adjusting the stick
length you observe the wires that pass through the stick
shaft and through the gimbal opening in order to
prevent damaging the connecting cables. The safest
method is to de-solder the stick end switch control wires
and remove them from the gimbal opening during
adjustment.
9. Pass the switch wires through the same gimbal opening as the
hall sensor cable (through the center of the gimbal assembly).
10. Next insert wire ends through the opening of the printed circuit
board and solder them to the matching soldering points in such
a way that the same color wires lay on the top of each other.
11. Carefully move transmitter sticks to their full outside positions
in order to make sure that you have sufficient wire length and, if
needed, adjust accordingly. The connecting cables for
all moving parts of the unit should have sufficient length in
order not to be exposed to any mechanical damage and any
bending stresses.

3.4 Swappable and Assignable Switches.
One of the most important features of a Jeti transmitter is the switch
function assignment flexibility. The DC-16 transmitter automatically
detects the type of switch and assigns the selected function. The
following switch types are available:
• 2-position short or long switch
• 2-position spring-loaded long switch
• 3-position short or long switch
You may either swap the existing switches around or take advantage
of the optional accessories and create your own custom
configuration.
Factory Switch Configurations for the DC-16 Transmitter
Sa - 2- position spring-loaded long switch
Sb - 3- position short switch
Sc - 2- position short switch
Sd - 2- position long switch
Se - 3- position short switch
Sf - 3- position short switch
Sg - 3- position long switch
Sh - 2- position short switch
Si - 2- position short switch
Sj - 3- position long switch

Installation and Configuration of Gimbals Switches
After the switch has been installed into the stick assembly you have
to re-configure and enable it in the transmitter software before it will
function properly. This can be done in the transmitter menu „Main
menu->Advanced setup->Sticks/ switches setup“, see section
9.3.2.
12. Install stick unit assembly back to correct position.
13. Install and secure the machine screws for the control stick
assembly.
14. Connect control stick assembly wires to the Tx board connector
(3 wires ). Pay close attention to the wire lengths. Connect X, Y, S
the longest wire as the first one from the outside of the
transmitter (3 connectors ).X, Y, S
15. Secure the stick assembly wires into their holders.
16. Reconnect transmitter battery pack and reinstall radio back
cover and cover screws.

Switch Exchange:
1. Switch-off the transmitter and remove the 10 screws that secure
the radio back cover. Next, remove the radio back cover.
Be sure to disconnect the transmitter battery pack
connector.
2. With the specialized wrench (not included) carefully loosen and
remove the switch installation nut.
3. Carefully hold the switch by its printed circuit board assembly
and slowly pull it out. Use this method to also remove and
exchange all of the other switches. After re-assembling and
turning on your transmitter the software will sound a warning
reminding you that you have executed a change. Always re-
inspect all assigned functions of the switches before
attempting to fly.

3.5 Digital Trims.
Transmitter gimbals are used for controlling the basic flight
functions like throttle, roll(aileron), pitch(elevator), and yaw(rudder).
Immediately under the transmitter gimbal sticks you can see four
push-buttons which are the programmable, digital trim buttons.
The digital trims are used for fine trimming of the flying model. When
the transmitter is turned off, the trim values are stored in memory
and are recalled when the system is turned back on.
Every model has its own trim setup. Also all flight modes may be
configured to use different trim configurations. By pressing one of
the buttons, the screen will automatically change to display the
graphic position of that trim. The transmitter trims feature an
acoustic step and centre beep alarm.
In the „Digital trim“ menu it‘s possible to enable a special
function used as automatic trimming. Digital trim steps and trim
range setting is explained in „Main menu->Fine tuning/flight
modes->Digital trim“
