Safety notes
!
These safety instructions are intended not only to protect the product, but also for your own and other people’s safety. Therefore
please read this section very carefully before using the product!
• Do not leave the packaging material lying around, this could be
a dangerous toy for children.
• 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
learnt! If you have never operated a model of this type before,
start carefully and make yourself familiar with the model's
reactions to the remote control commands. Proceed always
responsibly.
• Protect all equipment from dust, dirt, moisture. All equipment
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.
• First, always perform a range and function test on the ground

For your safety by handling the transmitter
!
WARNING
Also while programming the transmitter, make sure that a motor
connected in the model cannot accidentally start. Disconnect the
fuel supply or drive battery beforehand.
!
CAUTION
Avoid every kind of short-circuit in all sockets of the transmitter
and of the receiver! Risk of fire! Use only the suitable connectors.
In no case the electronic component of the transmitter or of the
receiver may be changed or modified. Any interference will void
the authorization.
Note
During transport protect the model and the transmitter from damages.
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.
• Any alterations to the battery can cause serious injury or burns.
• Batteries may not be heated, burned, short-circuited or charged
with excessive current or with reversed polarity.
• Combustible or highly flammable objects are to be kept away
from the charging area.
• Never leave the charger unattended when it is connected to
the power supply.
• Please charge your batteries only in rooms fitted with a smoke
detector.
• Always charge the battery with a suitable charger.
• 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.
Page 10
10 / 36
S1002.PRO_sh_V2
• Never charge batteries that have already been charged or hot
ones. 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 may not be modified. Do not directly solder or
weld the cells.
• If handled improperly, there is a danger of fire, explosion, irritation and burns. To extinguish a fire use: water, CO
2
or sand.
• Leaked electrolyte is caustic! It 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.
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.
Safety notes for stocking batteries
• Batteries may only be stored in dry rooms with an ambient temperature of +5°C to +25°C.
• If the LiPo battery must be stored for a longer period, the voltage
per cell should be about 3,8V. If the cell voltage drops below 3 V,
they must be recharged immediately. Deep discharge makes the
battery short-term, longer storage in discharged as well as fully
charged state make the battery in the long term useless.

Connections and fixtures
Attaching the transmitter neck-strap
On the upper side of the transmitter there is an eyelet which can be
used to hook a neck-strap.
Jack socket
The port for a 3,5 mm jack is located on the back of the transmitter.
Depending on the settings in the menu (OHRH or DSC) this interface
can be used as a earphone port or as a DSC cable port.
Headphone connection
Though this interface both acoustic signals and voice messages are
emitted.
The volume can be controlled by "Voice volume" and "Signal volume" in the general settings.
DSC connection
Through a DSC cable the port can serve to use the transmitter with
a simulator o to connect it with another one in Teacher/pupil mode.
Attention
When your transmitter is directly connected to a desktop computer
by a connecting cable (DSC cable) and/or a computer interface is
connected to your simulator, the transmitter may be destroyed
by electrostatic discharge. This type of connection should therefore
only be used if you protect yourself from electrostatic discharge
while operating the simulator by wearing a commercially available
grounding armband. Graupner therefore strongly recommends
only using wireless simulators.
Switch on the line "DSC output" of the menu "general Set." to DSC
mode if necessary. In this way you can change the base display too.
Right in the display appears "DSC".
To ensure a correct DSC connection, observe the following
1. Perform any necessary adaptations in the menu.
2. Connect one end of the DSC cable in the DSC port of the switchedoff transmitter and the other end to the device to be connected.
3. Switch the transmitter on.

Connect the battery plug in the transmitter socket with the correct
polarity. Next to the socket the same symbols are printed: Red = +
Black/Brown = -
Place the battery into its compartment and close the cover.
Charge the battery
The transmitter battery is charged by means of the micro USB socket
on the back of the transmitter with the charging currents (5 V / max.
0.5 A) which are common to USB2 ports. To do this, the included USB
cable must be connected to a USB compatible charger.
The charging process is shown through the red lightning Graupner
text. The indication quits when, with switched off transmitter, the
battery is full.
If the transmitter is switched on the charge time is longer than if the
transmitter is switched off.
!
WARNING
The charger should always be supervised during charge and it
should be used only in rooms fitted with a smoke detector.
Removing the transmitter battery
Remove the battery case cover. Detach the battery by lifting it from
the side of the Velcro and then gently pull the plug of the lead wire.
Possibly charge the battery outside the transmitter according to the
instructions of the charger.
Low voltage warning
The transmitter battery voltage should be monitored in the LCD display during operation. In case the voltage drops under a preset
threshold, standard setting 3,6 V, an acoustic warning signal is emitted and in the display appears in a warning note "battery needs
charging".
Now at the latest, stop operation and recharge the transmitter battery!
Battery use timer in the display
The battery use timer is shown in the lower left part of the display.
The battery use time is added at every use. After every charge or battery exchange the timer is reset to "00:00". This happens only if the

Starting up the transmitter
At the factory, the first six model memories are preloaded with a
Copter model from the Graupner product range so that each of
these 6 models can be put into operation immediately after the
binding of a receiver.
It is important to know this before the transmitter is put into operation, since the throttle / pitch position is first checked on the side of
the software after switching on the transmitter. If these are outside
the idle range, and there is a risk of spinning rotors, an audible warning will sound and the warning message shown on the left will be
displayed. In order to stop them both, the left stick is to be brought
to the pilot-side stop.
As soon as the left stick is at the backstop, the warning "Throttle too
high!" is blanked out or not even displayed if it is already "at the rear"
when the transmitter is switched on. In both cases, the question
"BIND OK?“ is visible.
You can decide to wait until the question "BIND OK?" disappears
automatically or you can shorten the waiting time manually, by pushing the ENT button of the right four-way button:
• In the one case, the "Fail Safe" setting, which is only fragmentarily visible under the question "BIND OK?", is completely visible. This note, which is completely uninteresting in this situation,
is also automatically dimmed after a few seconds. Alternatively,
press the ENT key of the right four-way key to switch directly to
the menu selection, as shown on the left. Further information
can be found further back and in the manual part 2, which can
be found at
www.graupner.de on the product page.
• If you do not wait for "BIND OK?" to be hidden, you can press the
ENT key to change the focus directly to the "BIND"menu of the"
Transmitter Setting "menu. Here, a receiver which is already
ready for operation can be connected to the transmitter without
further detours. Further information can be found further back
and in the manual part 2, which can be found at www.graupner.de
on the product page.

Binding a receiver
To establish a connection with the transmitter, Graupner HoTT
receivers must first be "bound" to at least one model memory in "its"
Graupner HoTT transmitter. This process is generally called "binding" and it can be repeated all the times it is needed.
This binding of a receiver is normally performed always model memory specifically, but it can be changed in every moment to transmitter specific, for every not-bound model memory of the same transmitter in the menu line "Binding type".
The complete sequence of the binding process results from the combination of the description of the transmitter-side part of the binding process in part 2 of the transmitter instructions as well as from
the description of the receiver-specific procedure to be found in the
respective receiver manual.
Basic procedure step by step
1. Move transmitter and receiver at a moderate distance from each
other.
2. Switch the mz-12 Pro HoTT transmitter on without RF module or
set the RF module on "OFF" in the "RF module" line of the "Tx setting" menu.
3. Select the "Tx setting" menu in the transmitter.
4. Push the ENT key.
5. Use the selection keys to move to the "Bound receiver" line.
6. Switch the receiver system power supply on.
... Receiver with SET button
7. Push the SET button on the receiver for approx. 3 seconds.
... Receiver without SET button
7. The receiver is automatically in binding mode for a few seconds
after switch on.
8. Push the ENT key on the transmitter to start the binding process
on the transmitter side.
If the LED on the receiver indicates the correct connection according
to its description and in the value field of the line "Bound receiver"
appears the abbreviation of the receiver name, the binding process
has been completed successfully. Otherwise change the positions of
the devices and repeat the entire procedure.

Adjusting the control mode
The transmitter is sent out of the factory with the control mode 2
software. That is the reason why also every new model memory will
be initialized with the control mode 2.
However, this default value can always be adapted to the user's own
habits in the "Control mode" line of the "Tx settings" menu.
Change control model step-by-step
1. Move to the "Tx settings" menu.
The value field of the "Control mode" line is already framed.
2. Push the ENT key.

in the "Transmitter settings" menu, or via telemetry in
the "Receiver output " sub-menu of the "Transmitter setting"
menu.
• The count of the channels displayed in this menu refers to the
12 control channels available in this transmitter mz-12 Pro HoTT.
The number of usable channels depends on the type of receiver
as well as the number of connected servos and may therefore
be significantly less.

the PC.
11. After each update, check if the model functions are correct.
Restoring the transmitter software
If a firmware update for the transmitter is unsuccessful or the transmitter program freezes and the transmitter cannot be turned off
using the "POWER" switch, then remove the transmitter's battery
after setting the switch to "POWER = OFF" position, or pull the plug
from the transmitter battery. While making sure that the POWER
switch is in the "OFF" position, wait a few seconds and then reconnect the disconnected battery.
In this case as well, download a current software package, as
described at the beginning of this section, from the Internet and
