Safety notes

Warnung!
Das Betreiben des Empfängers unter Einfluss von Medikamenten, Alkohol, Drogen, usw. ist
verboten.
Caution!
Any deviation from the instructions may have an adverse effect on the function and operational
security of the receiver, and must be avoided under all circumstances.
Caution!
The operator bears full responsibility for using the receiver. The only way to guard against
personal injury and property damage is to handle the equipment carefully and use it exactly as
recommended.
Caution!
Not suitable for children under fourteen years.
Caution!
Protect the receiver from dust, soiling, damp and foreign bodies. Never subject the receiver to
excessive vibration, heat or cold.
Caution!
During the programming process you must bear in mind that an internal combustion engine or
electric motor could unexpectedly burst into life at any time.
Caution!
Avoid subjecting the receiver to shocks and pressure. Check the receiver regularly for damage to
the case and cables. Do not re-use a receiver which is damaged or has become wet, even after it
has dried out again.
Caution!
When deploying the cables ensure that they are not under tension, not tightly bent (kinked) or
fractured. Avoid sharp edges which could damage cable insulation.
Caution!
Ensure that all plug-in connections are firmly seated. Do not pull on the wires when
disconnecting plugs and sockets.
Caution!
The receiver must not make physical contact with the model's fuselage, hull or chassis, as this
would allow motor vibration and landing shocks to be transferred directly to it.
Caution!
It is not permissible to carry out modifications of any kind to the receiver. Any changes invalidate
product approval, and you forfeit any insurance protection.
Caution!
Ensure that the equipment is working correctly and at full range before every flight. Check the
state of the batteries at regular intervals.
Note!
Ensure that all your HoTT components are loaded with the current version of the software at all
times.
Note!
Safety is no accident, and radio-controlled models are not playthings!

General notes

• The receiver's integral gyros are very fast, high-resolution components. This means that you should always use high-
speed digital servos wherever possible, so that the gyro's corrective signals are converted directly and accurately into
servo movement; this helps to prevent the model oscillating.
• Keep all servo extension leads as short as possible.
• When switching on or adjusting the radio control system, it is essential to keep the transmitter aerial at least 15 cm
from the receiver aerial(s). If the transmitter aerial is too close to the receiver aerials, the receiver will be swamped
and the red LED on the receiver will light up. The transmitter responds with a flashing red LED and repeated beeps
at approximately one-second intervals, i.e. the radio control system reverts to fail-safe mode. If this should happen,
increase the distance until the audible warning ceases, and the blue transmitter LED lights up constantly once more.
The red LED on the receiver should now be off.
