Persons, including children, with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or knowledge,
or not capable to use safely the transmitter must not use the
transmitter without supervision or instruction by a responsible person.
Operation and use of radio-controlled models needs to be

Protect all equipment from dust, dirt, moisture. All equip-
ment must be protected from vibration as well as excessive
heat or cold. The models may only be operated remotely in
normal outside temperatures such as from -10°C to +55°C.
Always perform a range test and functional test on the ground
before you use your model! Only so you ensure safe operation! To know how to perform a range check, please read
Part 2 of the manual.
Use all HoTT components only with the current software ver-
sion.
Save by each use of your model the log file. With a log file it
is possible to trace possible occurring technical failures. Only
so any claims can be considered.
For your safety by handling the transmitter
WARNING
Also while programming the transmitter, make sure that a connected motor cannot accidentally start. Disconnect the fuel supply or drive battery beforehand.

For your safety by handling the battery
CAUTION
Protect all equipment from dust, dirt, moisture. Only use in
dry locations.
Do not use any damaged battery. Risk of injury!
Any alterations to the battery can cause serious injury. Risk
of fire!
Batteries may not be heated, burned, short-circuited or
charged with excessive current or with reversed polarity.
While they are being charged, the batteries must be placed
on a non-flammable, heat-resistant and non-conductive surface. Combustible or highly flammable objects are to be kept
away from the charging area. Batteries must be monitored
while they are being charged.
The maximum quick charging current specified for the
respective cell type may not be exceeded.
If the battery heats up above 60°C while it is being charged,
stop charging and let the battery cool down to approximately
30 - 40°C.
Never charge batteries that have already been charged, are
hot or are not fully discharged. If a cell in a battery pack has
become particularly hot following a quick-charge process,
this may indicate a defect in that cell. Do not use the battery
pack any more!
The batteries must not be modified. Do not directly solder or
weld the cells.
If handled improperly, there is a danger of fire, explosion, irri-
tation and burns. To extinguish a fire use: water, CO2, sand.
Leaked electrolyte is caustic and should not be touched or
come into contact with your eyes. In case of emergency,
rinse with a large quantity of water and consult a Med. Doctor.

Always charge the battery fully.
The maximum charging current permitted may not be
exceeded.
Never leave the charger unattended when it is connected to
the power supply.
Batteries may only be charged in rooms fitted with smoke
detector.
Special instructions
To charge and discharge batteries, only use specifically
designed chargers/dischargers with balancer connector.
The white connector (cell count + 1 pole) is designed for the
connection to a LiPo balancer or a battery charger as a single cell charger with a manual cell balancer. Always charge
the battery with the balancer connector.
Safety notes for stocking batteries
Batteries may only be stored in non completely discharged
condition.
The cell voltage should not fall below 1.2 V when stored for
a long time.
Batteries may only be stored in dry rooms with an ambient
temperature of +5°C to +25°C.
Stock the LiPo batteries with a cell voltage of about 3,8V. If
the cell voltage falls below 3 V, then the battery must be necessarily charged. Deep discharge and storage in discharge
status (cell voltage < 3V) make the battery useless.
Charge and transport your batteries always in a safety bag.
