Symbol Description Always observe the information indicated by this warning sign. In Particularly those which are additionally marked with the words CAUTION or WARNING. The word WARNING indicates the potential for serious injury, the signal word CAUTION indicates possibility of lighter injuries. The signal word Note indicates potential malfunctions.
• Never program your transmitter while normally using the model. This can result in both inattention when controlling and incorrect programming. CAUTION Avoid any kind of short-circuit in all sockets of the transmitter and of the receiver! Risk of fire! Use only suitable connectors. In no case the electronic component of the transmitter or of the receiver may be changed or modified.

Keys to the left of the display Also referred to as upper, center and lower selection keys. These keys are used to scroll through lists, columns, etc., in the same way as their arrow directions. • Data Log function Pressing the lower left button for about one second switches the data logging function of the transmitter ON or OFF.
Transmitter Note Once connected to a PC or other USB power source, a yellow LED should be mz-32 HoTT lit solidly to the left of the 's micro-USB port. If this LED flashes yellow or is even dark, the power source is too weak to charge the transmitter.

Mass storage memory If the mz-32 HoTT transmitter is connected to a compatible PC and the "Mass storage" field is activated by tapping, the memory of the transmitter can be accessed from the PC. For example, to copy screenshots or model data from the transmitter to the PC or MP3 or software updates to the transmitter.
Transmitter Preparation Control Stick Length Adjustment Both sticks can be adjusted in length: By holding the lower half and turning the upper part of the knurled handle, the screw is loosened. The control stick is extended or shortened by turning it up or down and then fixed by screwing each against each other of the upper and lower part of the handle.
Transmitter Power The mz-32 HoTT transmitter is normally delivered with a 9000 mAh 1s3p LiHV battery. Installing the Battery Note Pay attention when inserting the battery to the correct position and make sure the contacts are solid. Interruptions of the power supply to the...
These two clocks can also be installed as widgets on one of your user widget decks. Starting the Transmitter Switch Transmitter ON Pressing the front ON / OFF switch for about 1 second switches the mz-32 HoTT transmitter on.

Receiver Binding To establish a connection with the transmitter, a Graupner HoTT receiver must first be "bound" to at least one model memory. This process is generally called "binding" and it needs to be repeated each time a new receiver is installed in a model.
1. Move the transmitter and receiver at a moderate distance from each other (30cm or 1ft). 2. Switch on the mz-32 HoTT transmitter without switching on the RF or set the RF Transmission to "OFF" in the "RF Set" field of the "RF Set"...
Page 28
The transmitter does not automatically enable each bound receiver as part of the channel count. This must be done manually in the RF Set menu. For example, if RX1 is an 8-channel receiver it will serve only channels 1 to 8 on that receiver.
Range Test When the range test starts, the output of the transmitter is significantly decreased. A practical functional test can therefore be performed at less than 100 m or 300 ft. After the end of the range test, the transmitter switches back to full output power and the range test signal tone stops.
Digital Switches The mz-32 HoTT transmitter features 64 digital switches. These can be found in the “Special” menu and can be defined, activated and switched in the submenu “Digital Switch”. In addition, each of these 64 Digital Switches can be arbitrarily placed as a widget on one of the widget pages and operated from there.
Switching to level allows the direct connection of transistors or LEDs to the receiver output via a series resistor. • For Graupner receivers GR-12 (#33506), GR-16 (#33508), GR-24 (#33512), GR-32 (#33516) and GR-24 PRO (#33583) as well as GR-16L (#S1021), GR-24L (#S1022) and GR-32L (#S1023) series resistors are already installed and LEDs can be connected directly between the orange servo pulse wire and the brown or black “-”...
Assigning Digital Switches on RX You can also assign a digital output switches over the Telemetry connection directly in the receiver. To avoid malfunctioning when assigning digital switches, only the affected receiver may be in operation during their switch assignment. 1.
Setting Controls and Mixers Both the control characteristics in the submenu Control Set in the basic menu as well as virtually all mixer programming is essentially done in the same way. The corresponding procedure is shown below with reference to the throttle curve.
Setting a Curve 1. Tap on the “Value” menu tab. 2. Move the vertical green line with the control stick to the to the desired point. The selected point is displayed in red and on the right the number of the point as well as its coordinates are shown in orange rectangles at the lower and left display edge.
Stick Calibration If the center position of the self-neutralizing control stick does not correspond exactly to 0% control travel you will need to calibrate your control sticks. This can be best accomplished with a new model. 1. Change to the “Model list” submenu and create a new model. Any model type will do.
Servo Display The Servo View monitor can be called upon at any time by pressing the servo monitor key on the right side of the radio. The view represents the active positions of any control or switch including mixers. The default screen shows channel 1 … 16. A swipe from the bottom to the top will reveal the additional channels.
Telemetry The telemetry connection between the transmitter and receiver takes place via the return channel of the HoTT receiver defined as the main receiver. If more than one receiver is bound to a model memory, the return channel will be by default the last bound receiver. This assignment can be changed in the submenu “RF Set”...
Attention This also changes the assignment in the column "T. sel." of the submenu "RF Set". After completing the adjustments, it may be necessary to restore the original assignment! Telemetry Cycle In those situations where for example two airplane models are about to be operated at close proximity to another controlled by two separate transmitters you may choose to reduce or eliminate the telemetry back channel of one of the models to avoid potential interference.

Note • The height of the bar is a measure of the reception level expressed as logarithmic values with the unit dBm (1mW = 0dBm). • 0 dBm corresponds to the two baselines in the above graph. Consequently, the level is poorer the higher the bar and vice versa.
Setting & Data View This display visualizes the settings and menus of the connected receiver. If there is no connection to a receiver, the submenu can be opened, but the display window remains empty. A detailed description of the submenus of standard receivers such as the GR-12 or GR-16 can be found in the manual of the receiver model.
• Receiver Button Connected telemetry sensors to the active receiver will show on the bottom of the Telemetry menu display provided they were connected prior to powering the receiver. To access the telemetry displays of a Telemetry device, open the "Setting &...
Note The mz-32 can operate simultaneously with WLAN however both use the same operating frequencies and therefore could interfere with each other. Bluetooth ® Operation You can connect a Bluetooth™ device such as headset or Smartphones to your mz-32 for audio or data view on Android Smartphones. The serial COM Port provides the option to connect the mz-32 to external serial devices such as HoTT Viewer App, Smart Box or HoTT OSD.
After successful completion of the software installation follow the nest steps to update your software: Software Update Using Computer 1. Connect the mz-32 HoTT transmitter to a Windows PC or laptop via the rear micro-USB port. 2. Switch on the transmitter.
Do not disconnect the link to the computer during the download! Make sure that the link between the transmitter and computer is operational. 7. Start the firmware download by clicking on the download button. 8. Follow the instructions of the program. 9.
In the file explorer of the PC or laptop appears a drive "MZ-32 (X :). 5. As described above in previous points "Updating the Transmitter” load a file suitable for updating the mz-32 HoTT transmitter onto the transmitter. 6. Switch off the transmitter and disconnect the USB cable from your computer.
