User manual
The previous France mode can nonetheless still be
used, including outside of France, for example to use
the upper frequency range of the 2.4 GHz band that
this left available for transmitting pictures from an
onboard camera. In this case, however, make sure
that the antenna(s) of the video broadcast system in
the model is/are attached at least 3 m from the active
ends of the antennas for the RC receiver system. For
safety reasons, it is therefore strongly recommended
to use satellite receivers located in an exposed area. In
addition, you should always perform an extensive range
test with the video signal on since range loss can be
expected.
To switch the "Country Setting" of your transmitter be-
tween "NORMAL", "USA" or possibly even "FRANCE",
tap the button to the right of "RF Type" as often as
necessary with your finger of the provided stylus:

RANGE TEST
The integrated range test reduces the transmitter output
so that you can perform a function test at a distance of
less the 100 m.
Perform the range test for the Graupner-HoTT system
according to the following instructions. It is useful to
have an assistant to help you with the range test.
1. Install the receiver(s) already bound to the
transmitter into the model as described.
2. Switch on the remote control, and wait until the green
LED of your GR-16 and GR-24 receiver(s) shines, or
the red LED of the GR-12L receiver goes dark. You
are now able to monitor servo movements.
3. Place the model on a flat surface (cement, 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.
4. Hold the transmitter at hip level at a slight distance
from your body. Do not point the antenna directly at
the model; rotate and/or bend the antenna so that is
it is approximately at a right angle to the model.
5. In the next-to-last line of the display, activate the
range test mode by touching the button to the right of
"RANGE TEST" with a finger or the provided stylus

Touch YES with a finger or the provided stylus to
start the range test. Touch NO to terminate the
procedure.
When the range test starts, the output of the
transmitter decreases significantly. At the same time,
the illuminated company name Graupner below
the two middle proportional dials starts to flash.
Simultaneously, the time display in the transmitter
display starts to count backwards and emits a double
beep every 2 seconds.

5 seconds before the range test ends, a triple beep
sounds every second. After the 99-second range
test, the transmitter switches back to full output, and
the Graupner logo shines continuously.
6. During this time, move away from the model, and
also move the transmitter's control elements. If you
notice an interruption in the connection at any time
within a distance of about 50 m, try to reproduce it.
7. If the model has a motor, switch it on to also check
interference resistance.
8. Move further away from the model until it does not
respond perfectly.
9. At this location, wait for the remainder of the test
period with the still operable model. The model
should still react to control commands once the
range test is finished. If the model does not react to
all the control commands, do not use the system,
and contact the responsible Service Center of
Graupner|SJ GmbH.
10. Perform a range test before each flight, and simulate
all servo movements that could occur during the
flight. The range test always must be performed on
the ground at least 50 m away from the model to
make sure that the model operates correctly.
