Using the transmitter for the ﬁ rst time

they become available.

Important notes:

The transmitter included in the set is prepared at •

the factory with the correct settings for most Eu-

ropean countries (except France).

If you wish to operate the RC system in France,

you MUST ﬁ rst set the Country setting on the

transmitter to “FRANCE” mode; see page 115. IT

IS PROHIBITED to use the system IN FRANCE

using the Universal / EUROPE mode!

You can operate up to six servos using the • mx-

12 HoTT transmitter and the receiver supplied in

the set, which is already bound to the transmitter.

However, in the interest of maximum possible

ﬂ exibility, control channels 5 and 6 are not as-

signed to transmitter controls by default; this

also helps to eliminate the danger of inadvertent-

ly using them incorrectly. For the same reason

virtually all the mixers are inactive by default. For

more details of this please refer to page 74 (ﬁ xed-

wing model) or 76 (helicopter).

The basic procedure for programming a new •

model memory can be found on page 48, and in

the programming examples starting on page 144.

When switching on, binding or setting up the ra-•

dio control system, please ensure at all times

that the transmitter aerial is an adequate distance

from the receiver aerials. If the transmitter aeri-

al is too close to the receiver aerials, the receiver

will be swamped, and the red LED on the receiv-

er will begin to glow. At the same time the down-

link channel will stop working. As a result the

ﬁ eld strength bars on the transmitter screen are

replaced by “x”, and the receiver battery voltage

is displayed as 0.0 V. At the same time the radio

control system switches to Fail-Safe mode.

If this should happen, simply increase the dis-

tance between transmitter and receiver until the

displays revert to “normal”.
