Adjusting the control sticks
Both the left and right control sticks can optionally be
set from neutralizing to non-neutralizing and vice versa.
The resetting force on the control sticks can be set to
the pilot's preferences. The related adjusting system
is on the back of the transmitter in the battery com-
partment, under the rubber covers, and under the side
grips attached with double-sided adhesive tape (see the
marks in the following picture). Make the desired adjust-
ment by turning the relevant setscrew using a Phillips
or standard screwdriver. Hold the control stick tight as a
precaution:

• 1 and 2 / 9 and 10
Adjust the braking force with the outermost of the
two screws, and adjust the strength of the control
stick ratchet using the innermost screw.
• 4 and 5 / 7 and 8
Adjust the return force of the control direction by
turning the relevant setscrew using a Phillips or
standard screwdriver.
• 3 and 6
To change the standard setting of the left and right
control sticks, turn the screw toward the inside of the
transmitter until the relevant control stick can move
freely from stop to stop, or turn it outward until the
control stick resets itself independently.
Adjusting the length of the control sticks
Both control sticks can be gradually adjusted over
approximately 8 mm to adapt the transmitter control to
the pilot's preferences.
Hold down the bottom half of the knurled grip, and
loosen the screwed connection 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.
General charging instructions
•
Follow the charging instructions of the
charger manufacturer and battery
manufacturer.
•
Do not exceed the maximum permissible
charging current of the battery
manufacturer. To prevent damage to the
transmitter, the transmitter charging current should
generally not exceed 1.5 A. Limit the charge current
if necessary.
If the transmitter battery is charged with more than
1.5 A, it must be charged outside of the transmitter.
Otherwise, the printed circuit board may be damaged
from overloading the printed connectors and/or
overheating the battery.
• Perform a few test charges to make sure that the
automatic cutoff of automatic chargers works. This is
especially true when you want to use an automatic
charger to charge the NiMH battery which comes
standard in the mz-18 HoTT transmitter, or the
lithium battery which comes standard in the mz-24
HoTT transmitter. Monitor the cutoff behaviour if the
charger that you are using has this option.
• Do not discharge the battery or run battery care
programs using the charging socket. The charging
socket is only for charging.
• Always first connect the charging cable to the charg-
er, and then connect it to the receiver or transmitter
battery. This prevents unintentional short-circuiting
with the bare ends of the charging cable plug.
• If the battery becomes hot, check the battery and
exchange it or reduce the charging current.
• Do not charge the batteries without monitoring
them.
• Follow the safety instructions and handling
guidelines starting page 4.
