The left-hand side flap provides access to the DATA
socket of the mc-16 HoTT and mc-20 HoTT
transmitter:
This jack is intended for connection of the optional
Smart-Box, No. 33700. Details about the Smart-Box
can be found with the given product in the Graupner
RC main catalogue or in Internet at www.graupner.de.
However, the Data socket can also be used to con-
nect external RF modules made by other manufactur-
ers; see “EXT.” and “SP.” in the “Module” section of
the “Basic model settings” menu on pages 81 and
91.
The operation of a Smart-Box or a Bluetooth
module, see below, is in the “SP mode” gener-
ally not possible
Firmware version V1102 and higher
From firmware version V1102 it can be connected to
the Data jack now not only the Smart-Box or alter-
natively an external RF module, but also the external
Bluetooth module of MZ transmitter, No. 8351 can be
operated. For details on switching between the respec-
tive operating modes of the socket, see in “Data sel.”

CAUTION:
For direct connection of your transmitter to a
PC or a laptop via cable (DSC-cable) and / or
PC interface for your simulator it may possi-
bly result in destruction of the transmitter by electro-
static discharge! This type of connection may there-
fore only be used if you are, for example, using a
grounding strap against electrostatic discharge
protection (commercially available in electronic
shops) during the simulator operation. Therefore
Graupner strongly recommends to use only simula-
tors with wireless transmission technology.
