Preliminary notes

In theory the Graupner|SJ HoTT system permits the

simultaneous operation of more than 200 models.

However, in practice the mixed operation of different

technical systems in the 2.4 GHz ISM band - as required

by the approval regulations - reduces this number

considerably. Generally, however, it will always be pos-

sible to operate even more models simultaneously on

the 2.4 GHz band than on the 35 / 40 MHz frequency

bands which we have used to date. However, the actual

limiting factor - as it has always been - is likely to remain

the size of the (air-) space available. The simple fact that

no frequency control procedure is necessary - a great

convenience in itself - equates to an enormous gain in

safety, especially at ﬂying sites where groups of pilots

may be distributed over a large area, with nobody in

overall control.

Battery charged?

When you take receipt of your transmitter, the battery

will be in the discharged state, so you must ﬁrst charge

it as described on page 14. If you do not do this, the

battery will soon fall below the pre-set threshold voltage,

and you will see and hear a warning signal to remind

you to recharge it. The threshold

voltage can be adjusted in the

“Battery warning threshold” line

of the “Basic settings” menu;

see page 134.

Switching the transmitter on

When you switch the transmitter on, the following display

appears in the centre of the transmitter screen for about

two seconds:

RF ON/OFF?

OFF

Within this period you can switch off the RF signal if

required by moving the black ﬁeld to the right using the

 or  arrows of the right-hand touch-key; when you

do this, ON should appear normal, and OFF in inverse

form (black background).

RF ON/OFF?

ON OFF

You can now switch the RF module off by brieﬂy press-

ing the central SET button of the right-hand touch-key.

Until this point the central LED glowed blue, but it now

changes to red, and at the same time the screen switch-

es to the transmitter’s base display:

The symbol combination means that the currently ac-

tive model memory is already “bound” to a Graupner|SJ

HoTT receiver, but there is currently no connection with

this receiver. (In our example we - of course - switched

off the RF signal!)

In contrast, if you switch the transmitter on without

switching off the RF signal, the central LED glows an

intense blue, and the symbolic transmitter mast ﬂashes.

At the same time the transmitter emits an audible warn-

ing until a connection is made with the corresponding

receiver. Once this connection exists, a ﬁeld strength

indicator appears instead of the “x” at the base of the

symbolic aerial, for example , and the visual and

audible warnings cease.

At the right of the same line a display in the same format

appears when a telemetry connection is made, showing

the strength of the telemetry signal picked up from the

receiver (>M

) together with the actual voltage of the

receiver power supply.

However, if the symbol combination

appears, and

the central LED glows a constant red, the currently ac-

tive model memory is not “bound” to any receiver.

Low-voltage warning

If the transmitter voltage falls below a particular value,

a visual and audible low-voltage warning is generated.

The default value is 4.7 V, but this can be varied in the

“Basic settings” menu (page 134).

Important notes:

The transmitter included in the set is prepared at •

the factory with the correct settings for most Eu-

ropean countries (except France).

If you wish to operate the RC system in France,

you MUST ﬁrst set the Country setting on the

transmitter to “FRANCE” mode; see page 135. IT

IS PROHIBITED to use the system IN FRANCE

using the Universal / EUROPE mode!

You can operate up to eight servos using the •

mx-16 HoTT transmitter and the receiver sup-

plied in the set, which is already bound to the

transmitter.

However, in the interest of maximum possi-

ble ﬂexibility, control channels 5 … 8 are not as-

signed to transmitter controls by default; this

also helps to eliminate the danger of inadvert-
