manual, is included in the packaging. Part 2, the programming manual, can be found in its last version on www.graupner.de by the
related page of the transmitter.
Read this manual carefully to achieve the best results with your
transmitter and first of all to safely control your models. If you experience any trouble during operation, take the instructions to help or
ask your dealer or Graupner Service Centre.
Due to technical changes, the information may be changed in this
manual without prior notice. Keep updated by regularly checking

Definition of terms
Control function
A control function is understood as the signal for a specific control
function. The signal of a control function can be transmitted directly
into one control channel or through a mixer to several control channels. The control function includes the influence of the mechanical
control path on the corresponding servo. This can be spread or concentrated and modified from linear to highly exponential.
Controls
As "control" are meant the function elements that the pilot can actuate directly in the transmitter. Through the controls the connected
servos, ESC etc. will be controlled by the receiver.
Control channel
If a signal contains all control information necessary for a particular
servo, whether directly from the control or indirectly via a mixer,
then the term control channel is used.
Mixer
The transmitter software contains a variety of mixing functions.
These allow a control function to influence several control channels
and several servos. It is also possible to let several control function
influence control channel (one servo).
Switch
The series of toggle switches can be included in the control programming. The switches are however generally also intended to switch
program options such as to start and stop the timers, turn mixers on
and off, as trainer switches etc. Each of the switches can be assigned
any number of functions.
Control switch
In these software switches, labelled with "G1 ... G8", the switching
point within the control travel can be set by simply pushing a button.
Logical switch
Through this option two switches, controls and logical switches or
the favorite combination of them, can be interconnected in an "AND"
or "OR" switch. A total amount of 8 logical switches "L1 … L8" can be
programmed.
Fix switch FXI and FX
This kind of switch switches a function always on or off. You can also
assign to a control function a fix input signal, e.g. FX = +100 % and
FXi = -100 %.

Note
This menu line is only visible until no receiver is bound to the active
model memory.
This option must be selected before the binding of a receiver. You
can select between "Global" and "Model", which means:
"Global": All bound receivers react to the signals of each model
memory of the transmitter. For safety reasons it is then only possible
to change model memory only after having switched the receiver off.
"Model": Bound receivers react only to the signals of the assigned
model memory. An accidental use thorough a non specifically
assigned model memory is not possible.

"BIND" field. Two new lines will appear underneath. In the first line
the number of the emitted channels
(6 or 8) will be set. In the second line you can set if the signal has to
be emitted normally or inverted. The "Range test" and "Receiver

You can bind two receivers to the transmitter. The two bound receivers can be also managed in this option. You can split the control
channels of the receivers in the "Receiver output" as you prefer.
Binding process
Move to the "n/v" field near the "HoTT" field through the selection
buttons. Set your HoTT receivers in the binding mode. The binding

2. Tap now on the SET button, a "BIND" info window will appear.
If the binding process has been successful in the left field it appears
now "bound". In the line "Receiver output" appears now under the
"bound" field the identification of the receiver (e.g. E12 = GR-24). It
also appears BD1 and BD2 in the lowest line of the display. The meaning of the message will be cleared in the "Telemetry menu" section.
Note

If the binding process was not successful, verify the following conditions:
Is the distance between transmitter and receiver at least 50 cm?
Is the power source of the receiver OK?
Is the polarity of the power supply correct?
Was the binding button correctly pushed?
If you want to bind a second receiver, then proceed as described
before. Move therefore first to the right "n/v" field.

This function (Channel Mapping) is available as soon as in the line
"Module" is bound at least one receiver. Here you can split the con-

trol channels of the transmitter to the bound receivers. You can also
select freely the channel order within the receiver. In this way the
control channels coming from the transmitter will be assigned to a

Use the selection buttons to move to the receiver field that you want
to edit. Select the input that you want to assign to another output.
Tap on the SET button. Set the desired channel. Confirm the selection by pushing the SET button.
In this menu line the RF module of the transmitter is switched manually on and off. This line is only available if a receiver is bound.
The integrated range test reduces the transmitter output so that you
can perform a function test at a limited distance.
Perform the range test before each operation and simulate all servo
movements which are part of the operation. In order to guarantee a
safe model operation, the range must always be at least 50 m on the
ground.
Place the model on a flat surface (cement, mowed lawn or ground)
so that the receiver antennas are at least 15 cm above the ground.
If necessary, place a support underneath the model during the test.
Hold the transmitter at hip level at a slight distance from your body.
Keep the surface of the patch antenna of the transmitter in direction
of the model.
Start the range test by pushing the SET button. The time display "99
sec" will start the countdown. You will hear two acoustic signals each
two seconds, in the last five seconds the acoustic signals will be 3
each second.
During this time, move away from the model, and also move
the transmitter's control sticks. Let the control movements be
observed by a second person.
If within a distance of about 50 m there is no interference in the control movements of the model, then the range test can be considered
as successful. After the end of the 99 seconds
the transmitter switches again to full transmission power and the
green LED on the right of the main switch lights again permanently.
If the range test has not been successful, verify the following conditions:

This function is only available if in the "Model type" menu you have
set "forward" or "backward" in the Motor to CH1 option.
With this function the throttle channel (CH1) can be switched and
hold in a specific position (-100%) through a switch. In this position
it is then not possible that the motor starts accidentally, no matters
in which position the throttle stick is.
In the left column you can set the position in which the throttle channel (CH1) will be switched. In the third column you can set the switch
threshold. To do that you have to move the stick to the desired position and tap on the SET button. In this way the switch range will be
set.
In the right column you can assign the desired switch. Proceed as follows:
Tap on the SET button in the "Thr.cut" line.
Move the desired switch to the position in which the motor will
be switched off. Combinations with logical switches are also possible.

Save the position in the trim memory step-by-step:
3. Move the model to the desired position through the control
sticks.
4. Actuate the assigned switch and move the control sticks back
to the neutral position.
5. After 1 sec. the position will be saved in the trim ( ± 30%).
Note
If the auto trim function is not required any more, then we suggest
to deactivate the switch assigned to the "Auto trim function".
Thereby you avoid an accidental error function.
In this line you can select:
"Yes" - all timers, excluded model timer and transmitter operating
timer, will be set back to zero when you switch the transmitter on.
"No" - all timers hold the stand from the last use of the transmitter.
The timer will however be reset when the transmitter is switched on.
