cess from virtually any menu position by simultaneously
touching the

and

buttons of the left-hand touch-

key - refers exclusively to the “control channels”, i. e. the
outputs are NOT swapped over.

Use the arrow buttons

of the left or right-hand

touch-key to select the servo / output combination you
wish to change, then touch the central

SET

button of the

right-hand touch-key. Now you can assign the desired
servo(s) to the selected output using the right-hand
arrow buttons, and confi rm your choice with

SET

… or

alternatively touch the

buttons of the right-

hand touch-key (

CLEAR

) simultaneously to revert to the

default sequence.
Please note that any subsequent changes to servo
settings, such as servo travel, Dual Rate / Expo, mixers
etc.,

must be carried out according to the original

(default) receiver socket sequence.

Note:
It is also possible to distribute the control functions
amongst as many receivers as you wish, using the
channel-mapping function in the

mx-16

HoTT’s inte-

gral Telemetry menu, or even to assign the same control
function to multiple receiver outputs. For example, you
might wish to actuate each aileron with two servos in-
stead of just one, etc. However, we strongly recommend
that you use only one of the two options, as a combina-

tion will soon lead to confusion.

rx bind

Graupner

HoTT receivers have to be “instructed” to

communicate exclusively with a particular model (i. e.
model memory) of a

Graupner

HoTT transmitter. This

process is known as “binding”, and is only necessary
once for each new combination of receiver and model.

Important note:
When carrying out the binding procedure, please
ensure that the transmitter aerial is always an
adequate distance from the receiver aerials: keeping
the aerials about 1 m apart is safe in this respect.
Otherwise you risk a failed connection to the down-
link channel, and consequent malfunctions.

“Binding” multiple receivers to one model

If necessary, it is possible to bind more than one re-
ceiver to a single model. This is accomplished by initially
binding the receivers individually, as described in the
next section.

When operating the system, please note

that only the receiver which was bound last will
establish a telemetry link to the transmitter.

For this

reason all telemetry sensors installed in the model must
be connected to this receiver, since only the last bound
receiver is able to transmit their data via the down-link
channel. The second, and all other receivers, run in
parallel to the receiver last bound to the transmitter, but
completely independently of it; they operate in Slave
mode with the down-link channel switched off.

“Binding” transmitter and receiver

Use the arrow buttons

of the left or right-hand

touch-key to move to the “rx bind” line:

phase 2
phase 3
phase 4

takeoff

speed

–––

receiv out
rx bind

–––

If you have not already done so, switch on the power
supply to your receiver now: the red LED on the receiver
flashes.
Press and hold the

SET

button on the receiver until,

after about three seconds, the red-flashing LED starts to
flash red / green; this will last for a further three seconds.
You can now release the

SET

button on the receiver.

The receiver is in Bind mode as long as the LED flashes
red / green.
Within this period of about three seconds briefly touch
the central

SET

button of the right-hand touch-key to

initiate the binding process between a receiver and
the current model memory. At the same time the word
“BINDING” starts flashing on the screen in the frame of
the “Bound receiver” line, instead of the three “---”:

BINDING

The receiver LED is now fl ashing red again, and if it
goes out without about ten seconds, and instead glows
a constant green, then the binding process has been
completed successfully. Your model / receiver combina-
tion is now ready for use. In parallel with this the screen
