Starting Up The Transmitter - GRAUPNER S1005 Programming Manual

Starting up the transmitter

Introductory remarks on the mz-18 HoTT and mz-24 HoTT transmitters
Theoretically, the Graupner-HoTT system allows
more than 200 models or remote-control systems to
be operated at the same time. This number will be
significantly less in practice since permits are required
for combined remote operation within the 2.4 GHz ISM
band. Generally however, more models can be operated
at the same time within the 2.4 GHz band than was
previously the case within the conventional 35/40 MHz
frequencies.
Battery charged?
Since the transmitter is delivered with an uncharged bat-
tery, you will need to charge it observing the instructions
on page 15. Otherwise, a warning signal will sound
after a short time and a related message will appear
in the basic display after a certain voltage is reached
(normally 4.8 V with the mz-18 HoTT transmitter and
3.6 V with the mz-24 HoTT transmitter) which can be
changed in the line "Bat. warning threshold" in the sub-
menu "Etc.Set" page 202, within the system menu.

Starting the transmitter
Transmitter startup
After the transmitter is switched on, the following mes-
sage appears in the center of the transmitter display:
At the same time, acoustic warning signals sound for a
few seconds.
You can now switch the high-frequency transmission
on or off by touching either the
with a finger or the provided stylus. You can switch
off a receiver that is on and then first touch
demonstration purposes. You are then in the basic
display of the mz-18 HoTT or mz-24 HoTT transmitter:

The red "RX" and green "TX" on the left and right of
this switch symbol mean that the currently active model
memory has once been linked to a Graupner-HoTT
receiver but is presently not linked.
