Deleting a model in Ethos is a straightforward process that allows you to efficiently manage and clean up your radio's model list, ensuring only active and relevant aircraft profiles are stored.
Streamlining Your Ethos Model Management
Maintaining an organized list of models on your FrSky Ethos radio enhances usability and prevents confusion, especially when you have multiple aircraft. Regularly deleting unused or outdated model profiles is a simple yet effective way to keep your radio's interface tidy and responsive.
Step-by-Step Guide to Deleting a Model
To remove a model from your Ethos radio, follow these simple instructions:
- Navigate to Model Selection: Power on your FrSky radio running the Ethos operating system. Access the model selection screen, which typically displays a list of all your configured aircraft profiles.
- Select the Model: Carefully review your list of models. Once you have identified the model you wish to remove, click on it once to highlight and select it. This action prepares the model for further operations.
- Initiate Deletion: After selecting the model, locate and select the "Delete" option. This is usually presented as a soft button or a menu item within the model management interface.
- Confirm Deletion: Ethos will then present a confirmation prompt to prevent accidental data loss. This message will typically ask, "Do you want to delete the model?" or a similar question, often displaying the name of the model being deleted.
- Finalize Removal: To complete the process, confirm your intention by selecting "Yes" when prompted. Once confirmed, the selected model profile will be permanently removed from your radio's memory.
Practical Insight: Periodically reviewing and deleting old or unused model profiles is a great practice. It not only declutters your radio's interface but also ensures that you're always working with an up-to-date and relevant model list. This can be particularly helpful if you've sold an aircraft or retired a specific setup.
Example Scenario:
Suppose you have a model named "Old Glider" that you no longer fly and wish to remove.
- On your Ethos radio, go to your list of models.
- Tap on "Old Glider" to select it.
- Locate and tap the "Delete" button or option.
- When the radio asks, "Delete Old Glider?", tap "Yes" to confirm.
- "Old Glider" will now be removed from your model list, freeing up space and tidying your interface.
