There are no real tips. Just run it. It'll self adjust for changing atmospheric conditions.

I always wondered how everyone felt about autotune carbs and how the EPA requires todays saw to be too lean.  Does this type of saw run lean with no way to change it?
Jack of all trades.

Should not run lean computer adds fuel automatically to prevent lean condition.

  I wonder if these new auto tune saws run borderline lean thanks to the EPA, most likely not as both Stihl and Husky have enough 4 stroke units to offset their 2 stroke units on EPA credits.   Steve

I am quite sure they are not. They have been out long enough that we would have heard about it, if it was an issue.
The Autotune also will compensate for air leaks with dumping more fuel in - some times saving the top end.
