Symbols explication ! Always observe the information indicated by this warning sign. Particularly those which are additionally marked with the CAUTION or WARNING. The signal word WARNING indicates the potential for serious injury, the signal word CAUTION indicates possibility of lighter injuries. The signal word Note indicates potential malfunctions. Attention indicates potential damages to objects. Safety notes This safety notes are intended to protect you and other people.
Make sure that all of the plug-in connections are tight. When disconnecting the plug-in connections, do not pull the cables. Protect the Copter from dust, dirt, moisture and other foreign parts. It 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. Only operate all your HoTT components using the current software version.
Storage LiPo batteries should be stored with a voltage of about 3,8V per cell. If the cell voltage falls below 3 V, then the battery must be necessarily charged. Deep discharge and storage in discharge status (cell voltage < 3V) make the battery useless. For transport and storage the LiPo batteries should be placed in a safety bag e.g. No. 8373.
The charger and the battery to be charged must be placed on a non-combustible, heat-resistant and non-conducting surface during operation. Do not use the charger near easily flammable materials. Always disconnect the charger from the power supply when it is not in use. Note: After you perceive your model, check if all components are inside the package and eventual damages. Remove the battery from the model when transporting or when not in use.
Charging the battery Plug the USB connector of the included charger to a suitable 5 V port. 1. The LED on the charger will light green. 2. Plug the battery connector to the charger charging port. 3. The LED will turn from green (stand by mode) to red (charge mode). When the charge process has finished, the LED lights on green again. Then is the battery fully charged. 4. Unplug first the battery connector from the battery charger and then the USB cable from the power supply.

This configuration can be changed through a software. You can find the software as free download on the mz-8 HoTT item page on www.graupner.de. If you have the mode 1 version, you can change your transmitter into mode 3 through the software.

For the version S5012.
Range test The integrated range test reduces the transmitter output so that you can perform a function test at a distance between 5 and about 10 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. Switch on the transmitter and the copter then wait until the green LED on the copter lights. You are now able to monitor control movements.

Stick calibration If the center position of your self-neutralizing control stick does not precisely correspond to 0% control travel, you can check and correct it as follows. Stick calibration step by step: • Bring the transmitter to the programming mode by pushing and holding the left stick while switching on the transmitter. • The red LED blinks 3 times to confirm the programming mode. • Move both sticks to all direction and then back to the middle position.
Installing the propellers CAUTION ! Risk of injury through rotating propellers by motors start. Always unplug the connector to the battery before working on the propellers. Install the propellers as shown in the picture below. Pay attention to install the proper propeller to each motor. The propeller rotation sense is written on the propeller (R/L)! The image represents the copter seen from the top.
First flight Choose a free area for your first flight. Select always first the Attitude mode, because the Copter is thus easier to control and to become familiar with the flight characteristics of the Alpha 110Q. Proceed carefully and responsibly. Start and land always in Attitude mode. Initialization of the gyro Flight control Auto-flip function Once the model has been switched on, the gyro immediately becomes active but still needs to be initialized.
Camera function by version S 5012.FPV Through the installed camera and the video transmitter is emitted a video signal. The transmission starts as soon as you connect the copter battery. Scan the transmission signal of the copter in your video goggles or video monitor. The video channel switching will be described in the next section Special functions.
LED On/Off (Version S5012.RFH) The S5012.RFH version has a big white LED on the front. To switch the LED on program a mixer on your transmitter to channel 6 with -100%. With the LED on the Auto-flip function is not available. Receiver's base settings TYPE Multicopter Basis >Type Quadro X Mode NORMAL Minpower % 10 Calibr. Posit. No Quadro x, Quadro +, Tri L, Tri R Here it must always be selected in this model the setting Quadro X.
Finally complete the procedure for yaw: on the transmitter, briefly set the yaw command fully to the right. Turn the copter so that the nose turns more than 45 degrees to the right; the axis is displayed, the field is no longer highlighted and identification of this axis is complete. The gyros and operating directions have now been assigned. Now check to make sure that the operating directions are correct.
POWER2SENS.: Very strong drives can lead to oscillating at full throttle. This parameter allows you to set a kind of gyro suppression. Higher values result in an increased gyro suppression towards full throttle. Only for attitude mode ROLL/NICK I Set the I component of the Attitude mode. At too low values of Copter swings slowly. If it stops after a roll or pitch command and “oscillates”, the value must be reduced. AGILITY Agility determines at what speed (yaw rate) a new position is occupied.
