# First Steps
### Familiarization
1. Set up a custom controls profile (see below).
2. Calibrate your throttle (see below).
3. Read the [Procedure Guide](https://docs.flightsim-studio.com/e-jet-series/normal-procedures/procedure-guide).
4. In case of any issue check out the [FAQs](https://docs.flightsim-studio.com/e-jet-series/introduction/faqs) first.
### Controls Assignments
The aircraft uses a very complex automatic logic which interfers with the use of key bindings. This can lead to malfunctions and significantly impair the flight. Therefore, we recommend that you create a separate controller profile for the E-Jets and delete the following key bindings:
* TOGGLE MASTER BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR
* TOGGLE MASTER ALTERNATOR
### Throttle Calibration
**The throttle calibration page can be accessed via EFB -> Settings Icon (upper right) -> Configuration Tab**
***
**Axis Assignment**
Currently you can't bind your throttle axis to the "Throttle general" key.
* Please bind your axes to THROTTLE 1 AXIS and THROTTLE 2 AXIS.
* If you only have one throttle lever, bind them to THROTTLE AXIS.
***
**Deadzones**
For each detent position you can assign a minimum and maximum deadzone limit.
* The colors reflect the detent position (White = Idle, Green = TO/GA, Orange = MAX)
* The deadzone thresholds can be changed by dragging them up and down.
***
**LINK AXIS**
Click to synchronize left and right axis. The applied method is indicated with a gree dot. To disable axis linking just click on the LINK AXIS button again.
* Left > Right: Sync left axis to right axis
* Left < Right: Sync right axis to left axis
* Average: Sync based on the average of both axis
* Minimum Level: Sync the axis with the lowest value to higher axis
* Maximum Level: Sync the axis with the highest value to the lower axis

**Single Throttle Lever**
If your hardware throttle only has one lever, you don't have to link the axes because they are already linked by the axis binding in the MSFS control options.
{% endhint %}
***
**REV ON AXIS**
Activating this puts the reverser to your current axis. 0% equals maximum reverse. Disabling this option sets 0% back to idle thrust.
***
**LINK SETTINGS**
Synchronizes the last deadzone changes to the other side. Use this after configuring one axis to set up the other one with the same deadzones by one click.
