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.
Multi Receiver Binding The mz-16 supports multi receiver binding. You can bind up to two Graupner HoTT receivers. Each bound receiver can add to the total available channels of all receivers bound to a single model.
Page 28
5. Tapping Ok will activate the new channel mapping. It can be tested by assigning a control in the Control Set menu for example to channel 16 and plugging in a servo on channel 8 of Rx2 to verify channel operation. Page 28 of 52 S1047.mz-16-V1.0-EN...
To guarantee a safe model operation, the range must always be at least 50 m or 160 ft on the ground. CAUTION Never start a range test on the transmitter during normal model operation! Page 29 of 52 S1047.mz-16-V1.0-EN...
In the illustration on the left, for example, the digital switch “D1” is selected at the receiver connection 4 of the receiver (the bound receiver is a GR-16, 8 channel receiver but you can use any HoTT Page 30 of 52 S1047.mz-16-V1.0-EN...
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 “-”...
In the picture on the left this is for example “D01”. 7. Tap the middle ENTER key to complete the process. The value field is not inverted anymore. 8. Eventually use the same procedure with the assignment of other switches. Page 32 of 52 S1047.mz-16-V1.0-EN...

The mz-16 WLAN MAC address can be found in System – Info & Update under ID Information. THIS IS ONLY NEEDED when you use WLAN security settings including the MAC address. If there is an active connection the WLAN symbol will be lit on the main display. Page 41 of 52 S1047.mz-16-V1.0-EN...
If there is an active connection, the Bluetooth™ symbol is lit on the main display. Note The mz-16 can operate simultaneously with Bluetooth® however both use the same operating frequencies and therefore could interfere with each other. Page 42 of 52 S1047.mz-16-V1.0-EN...
When the “Mass Storage” option is selected your PC will recognize the transmitter as a disk drive. All required programs and files needed to update your Graupner products can be found both in the directory "Util" on the mass memory of the transmitter.
3. When the border of the ON / OFF switch turns green, the keys can be released. 4. Shortly thereafter, the forced update starts with the latest available firmware version found in the "Update" directory of the transmit- ter. Page 44 of 52 S1047.mz-16-V1.0-EN...
5. As described above in previous points "Updating the Transmitter” load a file suitable for updating the mz-16 HoTT transmitter onto the transmitter. 6. Switch off the transmitter and disconnect the USB cable from your computer. 7. Do a forced update as described above. Page 45 of 52 S1047.mz-16-V1.0-EN...
Antenna Separation Distance When operating your Graupner transmitter, please be sure to maintain a separation distance of at least 20 cm between your body (excluding fingers, hands, wrists, ankles and feet) and the antenna to meet RF exposure safety requirements as determined by FCC regulations.
