Safety notes
This safety notes are intended to protect you and other people.
They are also used for safe handling the product. Therefore
please read this section very carefully before using the product!
Do not carelessly leave the packaging material lying around,
since it might become a dangerous toy for children.
Persons, including children, with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience or knowledge, or not
capable to assemble and use safely the mz-4 HoTT must not use
the mz-4 HoTT without supervision or instruction by a responsi-
ble person.
Operation and use of radio-controlled models needs to be
learned! If you have never operated a model of this type before,
start carefully and make yourself familiar with the model's reac-
tions to the remote control commands. Proceed responsibly.
First, always perform a range and function test on the ground
(to do so, hold your model tight), before you use your model.
Repeat the test with running motor and with short throttle bursts.
Before you start using the remote control model, you have to
check the further relevant laws and regulations. These laws you
must obey in every case. Pay attention to the possibly different
laws of the countries.
The insurance is mandatory for all kinds of model operation. If
you already have one, so please inform yourself if the operation
of the respective model is covered by your insurance. If this is
not the case, conclude a special liability insurance policy for
models. We recommend to provide the model with a label,
where are indicated the name, address, tel. n., E-mail and Insur-
ance N. So that the model can be clearly assigned in the event
of a crash.
Inform yourself before flying your
model on which maximum
altitude you can fly in the uncon-
trolled airspace over the starting
position and do not exceed it.

WARNING
Safety notes during the use
Also while programming, make sure that a connected electric
motor cannot accidentally start. Injury risk by the turning propel-
lers! Always remove the propellers when programming.
Avoid shock and pressure. Check the mz-4 HoTT regularly for
damages to the housings and cables, specially after a crash of
the model. Damaged or wet electronic components, even if
re-dried, should no longer be used!
Never touch the turning propellers, this can cause serious injury.
The propellers must be mounted securely, thrown parts can
cause serious injury.
Keep long hair, loose clothing such as scarves, loose shirts or
similar well away from the danger zone of the revolving propel-
ler, they may be withdrawn by the propeller, flying debris can
cause serious injury.
Observe the safety notes of the required components.

Transmitter power supply
Installing transmitter batteries
Remove the battery case cover on the back side of the transmitter.
Insert the battery according to the correct polarity. (See figure in
the battery case)
Removing transmitter batteries
If the transmitter is not going to be used for a long time, the
batteries or accumulators must be removed from the device.
Therefore you can avoid damages to the transmitter due to
electrolyte leaks.
Preparation before use
The mz-4 HoTT transmitter is normally delivered with three AAA
type alkaline batteries.
The transmitter battery voltage is monitored by the red status
LED (2) during operation.
If the voltage drops below 3,5 V, an acoustic alarm (4x higher
signal tones) will sound and the red status LED (2) starts to blink
quickly. Stop immediately the use of the transmitter, batteries
must be changed.
Binding the receiver
If you want to bind a receiver with the mz-4 HoTT transmitter,
bring the receiver in the bind mode (follow receiver's manual),
then push the "CUT OFF/ BIND" button (5) on the transmitter.
If a receiver is already bound to a model memory and you
however want to bind a new receiver to the model memory, then
you will need to repeat the binding process twice.
The first process erases the previous receiver, the second
process stores the new receiver.
Binding the Vector Unit GRS 331
1. Switch the Vector Unit on
2. Push on the "CUT OFF/ BIND" (5) button on the transmitter
Successful binding process
If the binding process was successful the status LED (2) will light
red on the transmitter.
Unsuccessful binding process
If the binding process was not successful the status LED (2) will
blink slowly red on the transmitter. In this case repeat the bind-
ing process with at least 1 meter distance between transmitter
and receiver.

Range test
Switch the mz-4 HoTT transmitter and your receiver on. Hold the
"CUT OFF/ BIND" (5) button pushed for about 5 sec The range
test is active for 90 seconds. At the begin the LED 2 will light up
twice red with two signal tones. Walk about 10 m away from the
model and move the control stick to the left and to the right. A
second person, which remains by the model, should verify the
control movements on the model. If the control movements are
not received by the model within 10 m, check the power supply
in the model and in the transmitter.
Interruption of the range test is always possible by pushing on
the CUT OFF/BIND button (5). Confirm through a signal tone,
LED 2 lights on red again.
Motor CUT OFF/Motor ON
This function switches the motor on and off. Thus avoids an
accidental start of the motor.
1. Move the throttle stick to the lowest position
2. Push on the CUT OFF/BIND button (5) for about 2 s. The
yellow LED (1) light off
3. The motor is now activated.
Pushing the control stick forward the motor will start.
Push on the CUT OFF/BIND button again, the yellow LED (1)
lights on again and the motor is deactivated.
Change model
The mz-4 HoTT has 10 model memories. These model memories
are pre-set for the Vector Planes.
The last number of the Vector Planes order number indicates
the model memory number.
For example: No. 13301 LEO indicates the model memory 1
The model change works only if the motor is deactivates (motor
CUT OFF), which means the yellow LED (1) must be lighting.
1. Push the control stick switch for about 5 sec.
2. A 2x single signal tone follows.
3. Release the control stick switch.
The LED (1) indicates the actual model memory, e.g. for model
memory 4 the LED will blink 4 times before having a 3 sec.
pause
The model memory can be changed through the trim buttons
(3) - or (4) +
Push the control stick switch for about 2 sec. a 2 single signal
tone is emitted to confirm the model change.
