Updating the transmitter software
Firmware updates for the mz-18 HoTT and mz-24
HoTT transmitters can be obtained via the mini-USB
connector on the back of both transmitters using a
computer operating on Windows XP, Vista, 7 or 8.
With the provided USB cable (USB-A to 5-pin mini-B-
USB), connect your switched-off transmitter to your
computer by inserting one end of the USB cable directly
into the five-pin mini-USB connecting socket of the
transmitter, and the other end into a free USB connector
of your computer.
The programs and files required for updating the
transmitter as well as detailed instructions for the
corresponding product (combined into one software
package) can be downloaded from www.graupner.de.
Download this software package from the Internet, and
unpack it on your computer. All other information can
be found in the instructions that come in the software
package.
Note:
After your transmitter has been registered at
https://www.graupner.de/en/service/product_
registration.aspx, you will automatically be
notified of updates by e-mail.
Important instructions:
•
Please note that compatible firmware is
required for reliable communication
between the HoTT components. The
programs and files that are required to update all
HoTT components are therefore combined into a
single file that is currently named "HoTT_
Software_V4.zip".
•
Only operate your transmitter using the current
software version. When these instructions
were drafted, the corresponding information
could be found at http://www.graupner.de/

•
Before each update, check the transmitter battery
charge or charge it as a precaution, and save all
model memories so that they can be restored if
necessary.
•
Do not disconnect the link to the computer
during an update! Make sure that the link
between the transmitter and computer is
operational.
•
After each update, check to make sure that the
models function correctly.
Restoring the transmitter software
Program: "Restore"
If a firmware update for the transmitter is unsuccessful
or the transmitter program freezes and the transmitter
cannot be switched off using the "POWER" switch,
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 switch on the battery.
In this case as well, download a current software
package from the Internet and open it on your computer
or, if you have already done this, start the program
gr_Studio, and follow the information in the section
"Restoration" in the instructions provided in the software
package.
