9. WHAT IS HoTT

HoTT stands for Hopping Sequence Telemetric

Technology, it is Graupner/SJ’s unique telemetry

technology in 2.4GHz signal protocol that supports

Bi directional data transmission gives user real-time

informat ion on things like us er model’s

RP M, Volt age, Temperature, User programmed

warning, and etc. The use of up to 75 c hannels

ensures extreme operating reliability and immu -

nity to external interference thanks to optimized

frequency hopping broad channel sequence.

- OPERATION

All Graupner/SJ charge jacks are cent er-pin negative. This is the opposite of many chargers.

Before us ing a charger make sure the connector is center-pin negati ve. This can be done using a

voltmeter. Also unlike conventional radio systems that use 8 cells to power the transmitter, the mz-10

charger designed for a 4-cell 4.8-volt battery pack when charging the transmitter.

3. Turn on the transmitter

Leave the trainer switch to Normal position and turn on the transmitter.

1. Battery Installation

Optional NiCd or NiMH 1.2-volt AA rechargeable 4-cell batteries can be used. A battery connecter is on the inside of the transmitter for convenient recharging. Graupner/SJ offers rechargeable NiCd, NiMH batteries, part number S22331.

Remove the battery cover and install the battery pack ensuring the polarity of the battery connecter.

2. Charging Batteries

The included charger is designed to recharge your batteries at a rate of 150mA. Do not use this charger for equipment ot her than Graupner/SJ t ransmitters that use 4-cell battery packs. The charging plug polarity may not be the same and equipment damage can result. During the charging operation, the charge

DC port won’t transmit during charging.

CAUTION

Charge only rechargeable batteries. Non-rechargeable batteries may burst causing injury to persons and/or damage to propert y. Never leave charging batteries unattended

r’s temperature is slightly elevated. This is normal.

4. Binding

You must bind the receiver to the transmitter before the receiver will operate . Binding teaches the

1. Switch on the transmitter and receiver.

2. Press & hold the SET button on the receiver for over 3 sec until the receiver enters BIND mode.

Press the MODE button on the transmitter, the system will be connected within a few seconds.

Once connected, the bind LED on the transmitter will turn solid orange and the status LED on the

receiver will turn solid green, indicating the receiv er is bound to the t ransmitter. If the binding

process has failed, repeat the whole procedure.

5. Servo Reversing

According to the LED status of each channel, you may check that the direction of servo rotation is in

the normal or reverse, LED blinking means that direction of servo rotation is in the normal and LED

turning on means that the direction of servo rotation is in the reverse.

1. Press & hold the DIRECTION button for over 2 sec and then release the button, the transmit-

ter enters reverse mode and the LED of No. 1 channel blinks.

2. Press the MODE button, the LED of No. 1 channel goes solid and the direction of servo rotation is

in the reverse.

3. Whenever you press the DIRECTION button, you may select the channel that you want and may

set the direction of servo rotation in the same method above.

4. After setting servo reversing function, press & hold the DIRECTION button for over 2 sec and then

release the button, now all servo reverse setting is stored to the transmitter.

6. Dual Rate

The mz-10 offers a dual rare function on aileron, elevator and rudder. When the DUAL RATE

SWITCH is in the up position, 100% travel is achieved on the aileron, elevator and rudder chan-

nels. W hen the switch is in the down position a reduced travel of 70% is achieved on the aileron,

elevator and rudder channels. This is useful allowing the aircraft to have a high control rate (switch

in the up position) for aggressive maneuvers and a low control rate (switch in down position) for

smooth, precise maneuvers.

7. Delta Wing

The mz-10 offers a delta wing mix. delta wing mixing combines the function of ailerons with the

function of the elevator to allow precise control of both roll and pitch for delta wing aircraft.

1. Press & hold the DIRECTION button for over 2 sec and then release the button, the transmit-

ter enters Reverse mode.

2. Press the DIRECTION button repeatedly until the delta LED is on, then the transmitter enters

delta mode. If delta mode is not set previously, the LED would blink.

3. Press the MODE button, the LED goes solid and delta wing function is activated.

4. After setting delta wing function, press & hold the DIRECTION button for over 2 sec and then release

the button, the delta LED turns solid green, the delta wing setting is stored to the transmitter.

8. 2 AILE

2 ailerons function is designed to allow more precise control. you may use 2 separate channels to

control the left and right aileron

1. Press & hold the DIRECTION button for over 2 sec and then release the button to enter reverse mode.

2. Press the DIRECTION button repeatedly until the 2 aile LED is on, then the transmitter enters 2

aile mode. If 2 aile mode is not set previously, the LED would ash.

3. Press the MODE button, the LED goes solid and 2 aile function is activated.

4. After setting 2 aile function, press & hold the DIRECTION button for over 2 sec and then release the

button, 2 aile LED turns solid green and 2 aile setting is stored to the transmitter.

9. V-Tail

If the model features a V-tail instead of a conventional tail, you need to set V-tail.

1. Press & hold the DIRECTION button for over 2 sec and then release the button, the transmit-

ter enters reverse mode.

2. After setting of delta and 2 aile according to above described procedure, press & hold the DIRECTION

button for over 2 sec and then release the button. Delta LED and 2 aile LED go solid green together

and V-tail function is activated. Delta LED and 2 aile LED are off after 5 seconds.
