Digital trim
Digital trim with an acoustic feedbackThe two control sticks have digital trimming.
NoteThe digital trim is active only in the previously mentioned position of the Attitude / Rate mode switch (3) on the upper right part of the transmitter.
Briefly touch the trimming switch to move the neutral position of the control stick by a specific value with each click. If it is held, the trimming moves in the corresponding direction with increa-sing speed.
The adjustment is made "audible" by tones of varying levels. It is therefore easy to find the middle position during flight. If you go past the middle position, a brief pause is inserted.
The current trimming values are saved.
Control sticks length adjustment
Length of both control stick can be adjusted. Hold down the bottom half of the knurled grip, and loosen the screwed connec-tion by turning the top part:
You can now lengthen or shorten the control stick by screwing it up or down. Then clamp the top and bottom part of the grip by rotating them against each other.
Aligning the transmitter antennaThe antenna can be turned up to 90°. The antenna top should never be oriented directly in the direction of the model, because in the front of the antenna is emitted only a labile signal.
The bent antenna can also be turned around its axis up to 180°. Turn the bent antenna using two fingers on the junction, not on the top of the antenna.
Attaching the transmitter neck-strapOn the upper side of the transmitter there is an eyelet which can be used to hook a neck-strap.

Transmitter power supplyThe mz-10c HoTT transmitter normally includes normally 4 non-rechargeable batteries.
Installing the batteries
! WARNINGAlkaline batteries (dry batteries) should not be recharged. Acute risk of explosion!
NotePay attention when inserting the batteries to the correct position and make sure the contacts are solid.
! WARNINGInterruptions of the power supply to the transmitter during the use of the models can lead to big danger for your self and for other people!
Replacing the batteries step by step:Locate the battery case in the back of the transmitter.
Slide the battery case cover until it is disengaged.
Remove the cover.
The battery box is fixed in the battery case through velcro tape. Lift the lower side of the battery box carefully.
Loosen the connection between the battery box and the trans-mitter by carefully pulling the battery plug.
Remove the used batteries from the battery box.
Replace the batteries with full batteries of the AA type.
Reconnect the plug to the socket in the inside of the battery case. (Plus pole = red cable, minus pole = brown or black cable).
Place the battery box in the battery case.
Close the battery case with the cover.
If you have inadvertently connected the plug in wrong position, the transmitter will not switch on.
18 / 32 S1001.G1_sh_V1
Optional power supply with battery pack
Instead of dry batteries you can use rechargeable NiMH batte-ries. The charging port on the back side of the transmitter is only suitable to charge rechargeable NiMH batteries.
! WARNINGFollow the safety instructions included with the batteries!
Polarity of the mz-10c HoTT charging socketThe charging cables available on the market by other manufac-turers frequently have different polarities. For this reason, you should only use original Graupner charging cable.
NoteThe charging socket comes standard with a protection switch that protects against polarity reversal. Original Graupner automatic char-gers recognize the battery charge. In order to prevent damage to the protection switch and to the other components, charging current should never exceed 1 A.
Transmitter commissioning
Transmitter status indicationsThe transmitter is normally delivered in "GENERAL" region set-ting and in mode 1.

Binding
Binding the mz-10c transmitter
When binding, make sure that the transmitter antenna is always far enough away (1 to 2 meters) from the receiver antenna.
Binding step by step:1. Switch the transmitter on and connect the power supply to
the receiver. Accordingly to the manual of your HoTT recei-ver, a LED indicates that there is no contact with a transmit-ter.
2. Activate the binding process in your receiver, as described in its manual.
3. Push the MODE button on the already switched on the trans-mitter. As soon as the BIND LED on the transmitter lights yel-low and the LED on your receiver indicates a correct binding accordingly with the manual, transmitter and receiver are correctly bound.
If instead the LED on the receiver indicates wrong contact and the BIND LED on the receiver is still off, the binding pro-cess went wrong. Change the positions of the associated antennas and try the entire procedure again.
4. After binding transmitter and receiver perform a range test.
Binding several receivers per model
If necessary it is also possible to bind more than one receiver to a particular model. First bind each receiver individually as descri-bed earlier.
In next use the transmitter will however set a telemetry connec-tion only with the last bound receiver. Sensors eventually instal-led in the model have to be connected to this receiver, because the transmitter will indicate only the values coming from the back chaneel of the last bound recever. All other receiver work in par-allel to the last receiver bound to the transmitter, completely independently from this in the so called "Slave- Mode“!
21 / 32S1001.G1_sh_V1
Range and function test
When the range test starts, through contemporaneously pus-hing the left MODE and the right ENTER keys, the transmitter output power decreases significantly, then you can perform a function test in a distance not higher than 100 m. After the 90 second range test, the transmitter switches back to full output, and the signal tone stops. Alternatively you can always interrupt the range test by pushing for approximately 1 - 2 seconds the MODE and ENTER keys.
It is useful to have an assistant who helps you.
NoteIn case of use of more than 1 receiver per model note: the range test works only with the last bound receiver. Only with it there is a feed-back channel for the telemetry connection.
Range test step by step:1. Install the already bound receiver in the model.
2. Place the model on a flat surface (concrete, mowed lawn or ground) so that the receiver antennas are at least 15 cm above the ground. It may therefore be necessary to place a support underneath the model during the test.
3. Secure it properly and safely so that it cannot move if you start the motors during the range test.
4. Switch the transmitter on and wait until the receiver/s indi-cate/s according to the manual a correct function connec-tion. The model functions should react to the control movements.
5. Hold the transmitter at hip level at a slight distance from your body. Do not point the antenna directly to the model; rotate and/or bend the antenna so that is it is approximately at a right angle to the model.
6. Push contemporaneously the left MODE and the right ENTER keys until the transmitter starts beeping quickly. Release the MODE button.
7. During this time lapse, walk away from the model and move the sticks controlling the reactions of the model functions. In this phase do not use too much throttle so that the model does not get high. If you detect an interruption in the link wit-hin a range of about 50 m at any time, attempt to reproduce it.
8. Move further away from the model until it does not respond perfectly any more.
9. At this location, wait for the remainder of the test period with the still operable model or push simultaneously the left MODE and the right ENTER keys for about 1 - 2 seconds to stop
22 / 32 S1001.G1_sh_V1
the test. As soon as the range test has finished, the model should react exactly to the controls movements. If this is not 100 % the case, do not use the system and contact your Service at Graupner/SJ GmbH.
10. Perform a range test before each flight, and simulate all fuc-tions that could occur during the flight. In order to guarantee a safe model operation, the range must always be at least 50 m on the ground.
! CAUTIONNever start a range test on the transmitter during normal model ope-ration!
Range warning
As soon as the receiver signal on the feedback channel is low, the range warning will be active. Since the transmitter's output is significantly higher than the feedback channel of the receiver, the model can always be operated safely. For safety you should however reduce the model distance, until the signal quits again.
If the acoustic warning singal does not quit inspate the reduced distance, the use of the model should be interrupted immedia-tely and the transmitter should be checked. Eventually the trans-mitter's under-voltage or receiver's temperature warning are active. Then the battery should be charged or the receiver tem-perature should be checked.
NoteIn case the transmitter cannot set a connection to a proper back channel or during the use an existing connection is interrupted, the transmitter mz-10c BIND LED turns off and the buzzer indicates it with a 4 times beep signal (back channel missing), after that with a 3 times beep following until the transmission interference persists. Contemporaneously the status LED blinks 3 times.

25 / 32S1001.G1_sh_V1
Fail Safe
The "Fail Safe" function determines the response of the receiver both by directly switching on the receiver system and when there is an interruption in transmission from the transmitter to receiver.
The functions connected to each receiver outputs can then ...
� ... after the receiver is powered on and until there is no valid signal from the transmitter, take the positions saved in the receiver. Completely independently from receiver settings "hold" or "pos".
NoteThe standard setting, until a change occurs, is the central posi-tion.
� ... in case of interference ...
- ... maintain the current position ("hold").
In case of transmission interruptions, all servos program-med to "hold" remain at their position which was last identified to be correct until a new, correct control signal is received by the receiver.
- ... after the preselected "failsafe delay" move to a selec-table position ("pos").
NOTESUse the safety potential of this option, in which you can program "Cut off in standard mode" in case of interferences.
Pay attention in the following described setting, that the copter motors cannot start accidentally during the test of the selected option.
Note that the chosen fail safe settings are saved in the receiver. The fail safe settings should be restored after changing a receiver and should be deleted in the previous receiver by resetting.
26 / 32 S1001.G1_sh_V1
Fail-safe variant selection
Push and hold the MODE button on the left of the LED panel while switching on the transmitter. Release the button after having switched the transmitter on and power the receiver pre-viously bound to the transmitter. The transmitter BIND LED should then light on yellow.
The transmitter is in Fail-safe mode. The different Fail-safe modes ("Hold", "on/off" and "Standard") can be reached by pus-hing briefly on the MODE button on the left of the LED panel. In rotation order you can change within the total four options:
active mode Status LED and buzzerFail Safe repeated 1x blink and 1x beepHold repeated 2x blinks and 2x beepsOff repeated 3x blinks and 3x beepsStandard repeated 4x blinks and 4x beeps
Mode "Fail-safe"
The transmitter beeps once after the first power on melody. The transmitter status LED blinks red.
In case of interference the servos take a preset position for a "hold"period of 0,75 seconds. Bring the functions in your copter on the respective associated transmitter controls at the SAME TIME to the desired positions and hold it until these positions are stored with a three to four seconds long press on the MODE button as fail-safe in the receiver settings, so that it can return for future reference. After releasing the button the status LED and the acoustic signal should indicate the actual transmitter status.
The transmitter is now again in control mode.
Check the settings by switching the transmitter off. Correct or repeat the programming if the functions of your copter do not move to the desired position.
Mode "Hold"
In case of transmission interruptions, all functions programmed to "hold" remain at their position which was last identified to be correct until a new, correct control signal is received by the recei-ver.
To save this selection push the MODE button for three to four seconds. After releasing the button the status LED and the acoustic signal should indicate the actual transmitter (power on) status.
The transmitter is now again in control mode. Otherwise repeat the process.
27 / 32S1001.G1_sh_V1
Fail-Safe OFF
With the "OFF" setting, over the course of a malfunction, the receiver stops transmitting control pulses for the relevant servo output The receiver switches the pulse line "off".
!ATTENTIONVerify by selecting "Fail-safe OFF" the reaction of your copter to the switch off of the impulse during the interference.
To save the selection push the MODE button for 3 to 4 seconds. After releasing the button the status LED and the acoustic signal should indicate the actual transmitter status.
The transmitter is now again in control mode. Otherwise repeat the process.
Standard mode
In this mode in case of interference only the throttle/pitch (chan-nel 1) moves to the position preset for this event, all other chan-nels remain in "hold". Switch to the Attitude mode and move the throttle stick and its trim to the desired position and push the MODE button for 3-4 seconds to save the selection. After relea-sing the button the status LED and the acoustic signal should indicate the actual transmitter status.
The transmitter is now again in control mode. Otherwise repeat the process.
NoteThrough the optionally available Smart-Box you can set the different options of the Fail-Safe individually. We suggest to set the channel 5 to 1500 µs and channel 1 to 1100 µs, so that during a Fail-Safe situa-tion the Attitude mode is active and motors stop.

Switch functions
Motor stop functionThe motor stop function is active completely independently from the position of this switch, until after switching on the transmit-ter the throttle/pitch stick has not been brought at least once in the motor-OFF position.
!ATTENTIONThis function prevents accidental starting of motors, thus reducing the risk of accident. For safety reasons you should get the attitude to move the motor-off switch forward only when the start is very immi-nent and you should move it backward as soon as you have landed your model.
NoteWhen the motor-stop function is on the red CUT-OFF-LED blinks.
Attitude/Rate mode switching � Attitude mode
The stick movement determinates the Copter reaction on Roll and Nick. It allows a maximal angle of about 50° at 100% of stick movement. The stick movements acts directly pro-portionally to Roll and Nick.
After releasing the control sticks the copter moves back to the normal position.
Suggested mode for beginners.
� Rate mode
The stick movement determinates the rate.
Without angle movement limit and without automatic coming back to the normal position.
Aerobatic mode that allows rolls and loopings.
Not suitable for beginners.

Pushing shortly the 3 way switch to the top activates the Auto-flip function in Attitude mode: the transmitter emits for a maximum of 5 seconds a continuous acoustic signal. During this time lapse move the roll or nick stick more than 50% of its travel. The copter will autonomously make a loop in the selected direction.
After the flip it is possible to have some little position movements (<10°)
