The DC/DS transmitters were developed and produced with the
cooperation of professional and world champion pilots. These
transmitters 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 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.
The DS-14 hand-held transmitter expands the range of model
transmitters equipped with the JETI Duplex system, this new design
is based on the high-end model DS-16. Unlike the DS-16, the DS-14
offers a unique concept of individual feature setup based upon the
requirements of each customer. The transmitter is available in a basic
configuration that will meet the needs of most users for most model
types. For individual setting of the transmitter there is a configurator
available at swshop.jetimodel.com. After the simple registration of
your transmitter it is possible to select additional features based
upon your individual demands. For example, if you fly only
helicopter models, select such features as "Throttle Limiter" or
"Gyro Settings" but you will probably not need to increase the
number of flight modes. These are more suitable for controlling
glider models.
The DS-14 features newly designed gimbal sticks. We managed to
keep all the characteristics of the full metal sticks used in the DS-16,
mainly thanks to high-quality materials and Hall sensors inside the
sticks which are fully supported by high quality ball bearings.
As a result, the DS-14 becomes a powerful tool with the possibility to
individually select many features at a very attractive price.

1.2.1 Activation method for software modules of JETI model
1. Make sure you have the most current firmware version in your
transmitter.
2. Register on swshop.jetimodel.com.
3. After clicking on the „Register
new product“ button you will be
redirected to a form where you
enter a product type (DS-14),
followed by the „serial number”
(SN: xxxxxxxxx) (to be found on the
back of the transmitter behind the
screen) and then enter the „16
digit registration code” (xxxx-
xxxx-xxxx-xxxx) (see the menu
„System -> Installed Modules”
highlighted by the frame). After
registering your transmitter, you
can select individual function
modules that you want to activate.
4. Mark selected modules and
proceed to checkout.
5. Then you will be asked to pay
the relevant amount. After
p a y m e n t , a u n i q u e
nontransferable file named
“A c t i v a t i o n . b i n ” w i l l b e
generated. It will then be sent to your e-mail.
6. Connect the DS-14 to your computer and enable USB mode.
7. Copy the “Activation.bin” file to the transmitter SD card into the
root folder. The contents of the transmitter SD card can then look like
this:
8. Disconnect the transmitter from the computer (Do not forget to
confirm the safe hardware removal). Then confirm in your
transmitter that you want to update and restart it.
If the activation is successful, an informative table with a list of
modules appears immediately after switching on. Then it is
possible to operate the transmitter as usual.

Duplex 2.4GHz – the DC/DS 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 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 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 may also be charged through their USB to PC
interface.The charging progress is shown on the DC/DS display.
Integrated Antenna – the antennas are located behind fully
integrated covers in both the DC-16 and DS-14/16 cases for
protection against mechanical damage.
1.1.
1.3 Features Large Memory – 4GB memory space for storing models, sounds, and
telemetry data.
USB Connector – convenient connection to your PC. Fast firmware &
sound upgrades, telemetry data downloads.
Fast Navigation – 3D wheel-style interface combined with function
keys allow for speedy navigation within the DC/DS menu.
Digital Trims – fully programmable trims and a revolutionary
automatic trimming function.
Swappable and Assignable Switches – all of the switches on the
DC/DS transmitters (2- or 3-position) can be easily moved and
assigned to create a custom configuration that works best for your
application.
Programming – the logical and intuitive transmitter firmware is
designed to be simple to use. Just follow the step-by-step screens.
The creation of a new model can be accomplished with just a few
easy steps.
Sounds/Alarms – the DC/DS transmitters are equipped with audible
alarms and also allows the use of user-recordable alarms and sounds
to keep you fully informed while also keeping distractions to a
minimum. "
Depends on equipment - The specific function is available if the
corresponding module is activated. The DC-16 and DS-16
transmitters in their basic version have all the modules activated on
maximum possible values. With the DS-14 transmitter it is possible
to take advantage of the system that enables purchasing of the

extended functions from swshop.jetimodel.com.
To make navigation faster, the DC/DS transmitter Instruction Manual
has been divided into 5 basic groups:
1 . Introduction and product support.
2. Basic description and mechanical adjustments.
3. First time switch-on. Basic helicopter and airplane set up.
4. Advanced programming. Detailed descriptions.
5. PC upgrade/upload, safety information, and special mixes.
Important parts of the instructions are separated from the text and
highlighted according to importance.
Advice Note Warning
