Transmitter Fi Rmware Update - GRAUPNER MX-10 HOTT Programming Manual

Important notes:
• The transmitter included in the set is prepared at
the factory with the correct settings for most Eu-
ropean countries (except France).
If you wish to operate the RC system in France,
you MUST fi rst set the Country setting on the
transmitter to "FRANCE" mode; see page 104
or 108. IT IS PROHIBITED to use the system IN
FRANCE using the Universal / EUROPE mode!
• You can operate up to fi ve servos using the
10 HoTT transmitter and the receiver supplied in
the set, which is already bound to the transmitter.
• When switching on, binding or setting up the ra-
dio control system, please ensure at all times
that the transmitter aerial is an adequate distance
from the receiver aerials. If the transmitter aeri-
al is too close to the receiver aerials, the receiver
will be swamped, and the green LED on the re-
ceiver will go out. At the same time the down-link
channel will stop working. In parallel the orange
status LED blinks four times in quick succession
and starts the corresponding buzzer warnings. At
the same time the radio control system switches
to Fail-Safe mode.
If this should happen, simply increase the dis-
tance between transmitter and receiver until the
displays revert to "normal".
