8 / 36 Operation and use of radio-controlled models needs to be learned! If you have never operated a model of this type before, start carefully and make yourself familiar with the model's reactions to the remote control commands. Pro-ceed always responsibly. Before you start using the remote control model, you have to check the further relevant laws and regulations. These laws you must obey in every case. Pay attention to the pos-sibly different laws of the countries. The insurance is mandatory for all kinds of model operation. If you already have one, so please inform yourself if the oper-ation of the respective model is covered by your insurance. If this is not the case, conclude a special liability insurance policy for models. Protect all equipment from dust, dirt, moisture. All equip-ment must be protected from vibration as well as excessive heat or cold. The models may only be operated remotely in normal outside temperatures such as from -10°C to +55°C. First, always perform a range and function test on the ground before you start using your model. Only so you can grant a safe use! How to perform a range test is explained in the Part 2 of the manual. Only operate all your HoTT components using the current software version. Start a data log every time you use your model. With a log-data an occurred technical defect can be recognized and verified. Only so it is possible to considerate an eventual compliant.For your safety by handling the transmitter WARNING Also while programming the transmitter, make sure that a con-nected motor cannot accidentally start. Disconnect the fuel sup-ply or drive battery beforehand.Inform yourself before flying your model on which maximum altitude you can fly in the uncon-trolled airspace over the starting position and do not exceed it.!S1033_jh_V1_de

22 / 36 S1033_jh_V1_deGeneral commissioning Notice-safety query throttle positionAs soon as the transmitter is switched on then the throttle position is checked. If the throttle position is not in the motor-off area, then the drive motor may start in an uncontrolled manner. This check is performed by all the models with the setting "Motor at CH1 front/back". The warning alarm "Throttle too high" appears. For this rea-son in this case the RF module will not be switched on. This check is performed for every model types. With helicopter models the warning works only if you use a Motor-off programming or if a throttle limiter is set.! WARNINGIf you do not follow the afore mentioned instructions, the connected drive motor can run accidentally when the transmitter is switched on. Risk of injury! Always program a switch for motor stop!If the previously mentioned checks are passed, the RF module will be activated when the transmitter is switched on and in the display appears a selection indicator.Select with the selection buttons of the right four way keys RF ON/OFF. By tipping the SET button on "OFF" the RF module is switched off.The color of the lighting central LED changes to red and you are now in the transmitter main menu display.The symbol mean that the currently active model memory has once been linked to a receiver but is presently not linked. (We have turned the RF module off for example reasons.) If instead the transmitter was switched on without turning off the RF mod-ule, the central LED would light blue and the symbol would blink. Contemporaneously a warning acoustic signal is emitted until a connection is established with the respective receiver. As soon as this connection is established appears a a field strength indicator and the warning signal stops.If the telemetry connection is established the respective indica-tion of the receiver signals strength so as the actual receiver power supply voltage.On the other hand, if the screen displays the symbol combina-tion and the center LED illuminates in red continuously then the currently active model memory is not "bound" to any receiver.Throttletoohigh!RF on/off?OFFONPlease selectGRAUBELE#010:33hStopFlugK780:000:000.0V5.2VMHoTTM
