Updating the mx-16 HoTT software
Attention:
It is essential to check the state of charge of your 
transmitter battery before carrying out any update. 
To be on the safe side we recommend that you give 
the battery a full charge.
1.  Installing the driver
 
In order to be able to use the transmitter’s integral  
 
port you must fi rst install the driver software required,  
 
which is included in the program packages in the  
 
“USB driver” folder.
 
Start the driver installation by double-clicking on the  
 
appropriate fi le and following the on-screen instruc- 
 
tions. When the installation is complete, your comput- 
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 104 
or 108. IT IS PROHIBITED to use the system IN 
FRANCE  using the Universal / EUROPE mode!
You can operate up to fi ve servos using the 
• 
mx-
10 HoTT transmitter and the receiver supplied in 
the set, which is already bound to the transmitter.
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 green LED on the re-
ceiver will go out. At the same time the down-link 
channel will stop working. In parallel the orange 
status LED blinks four times in quick succession 
and starts the corresponding buzzer warnings. 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”.

of the transmitter. Install the cable so that the orange  
 
cord shows to the left (center of the transmitter) and  
 
the brown cord to the right edge of the transmitter.  
 
Do not apply excessive force.
