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

Receiver fi rmware update
Firmware updates for the receiver are carried out using
the receiver's telemetry socket - in the case of the GR-
12 receiver supplied as standard in the set this is servo
socket 5, which is also marked with a "T" - in conjunction
with a PC running Windows XP, Vista or 7. To connect
the receiver to a PC you require the separately available
USB interface, No. 7168.6 and the adapter lead, Order
No. 7168.6A. The latter - like all other connecting leads
- must always be connected to the GR-12 receiver with
the brown or black wire facing up.
The latest software and information can be found in the
Download area for the corresponding product at www.

Note:
Once you have registered your transmitter at http://

automatically be informed of new updates by e-mail as
they become available.
