Dear customer,
Dear fellow-modeller,
The COCKPIT
MM
: that’s the name of the new system from MULTIPLEX. We have used
this name before, on a transmitter which we introduced in 1985, but the new Cock-
pit is not comparable in any way with the earlier version. The new transmitter in-
corporates micro-processor technology, and it is this which provides its wide-
ranging facilities and operating convenience. The new system features many inter-
esting and useful innovations which modellers could hardly have imagined at the
time of the earlier Cockpit:
The COCKPIT
MM
’s primary features:
• 7 channels, PPM transmission
• 9 model memories with copy function
• Suitable for fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters and vehicles
• Simple programming based on a 3D digi-adjustor and 2-line
LCD screen with up to 11 symbols
• Digital trims with trim memory
• Programmable servo reverse, centre, and end-points (both directions) for all 7
channels (3-point curve)
• 9 mixers for fixed-wing model aircraft: combi-switch, aileron differential,
V-tail mixer, delta mixer, flaperon mixer, spoileron with aileron differential sup-
pression, 3 x elevator trim compensation for motor, control E (flap), and control
F (spoiler)
• 3 mixers for helicopters
• „MOTOR OFF“ switch as emergency motor stop
• Choice of 8 primary control configurations (stick modes)
• Switchable reduced travels (Dual Rates) for 3 channels
• Expo for 3 channels
• Stopwatch, operating hours timer
The name „Cockpit“ is also intended to reflect the aim which we kept in mind all the
time when developing this system:
„Just as in a ‘full-scale’ cockpit, the model pilot should be able
to reach and control all the essentials quickly and easily.“
And the „MM“? Quite simple: MM is two thousand in Roman numerals, and we use it
to show that the Cockpit is our contribution to the theme of the new millennium.
Please read right through these instructions carefully before you use your new RC
system for the first time. This will help you to get to know the COCKPIT MM’s fea-
tures quickly, so that you can exploit its many facilities to the full.
We hope you have many hours of fun and pleasure with your new system.
Yours the MULTIPLEX team

2. Safety
Radio controlled models are not playthings!
Safety in RC modelling is of extreme importance, and you can make the greatest
contribution to it yourself, simply by handling and using your radio control system
and model carefully, responsibly and conscientiously.
• Check all electrical and mechanical connections in the model regularly.
• Check regularly that all control surfaces work smoothly, freely, and without slop
(disconnect the linkages to check this).
• Carry out regular range checks (see 12.2. Range testing).
• Check with other pilots and the site flight line director that your channel is not
already in use. The Channel-Check module (optional accessory - see 10. Chan-
nel-Check) provides an extra level of security.
• Before launching your model extend the transmitter aerial to its full length and
check that it is in good condition and firmly secured.
• Check that the transmitter is set to the correct model memory.
• Before every flight check all the working systems as follows:
Do all the control surfaces work in the correct „sense“ relative to the stick
movements? Are the control surface travels correct? Have you set the appropri-
ate mixers for the model, and have you adjusted them correctly?
• Are the transmitter and receiver battery adequately charged, and in good, well-
maintained condition?
• Use only genuine MULTIPLEX crystals, batteries and accessories.
• Read and observe the recommendations for any components of your receiving
system which are not covered by these operating instructions.
If you are not sure of any of these points, do not launch the model! Check every-
thing again in peace and quiet, and give yourself a chance to locate and remedy the
fault. If you still cannot eliminate the problem, ask your model shop or the
MULTIPLEX customer service department for advice and assistance.
! Read Chapter 12. - The system in use -
and keep to the recommendations !

4.1. Preparation
4.1.1. Charging the transmitter battery
On the left-hand side of the transmitter you will find the MULTIPLEX universal
socket. We call it „universal“ because you can use it for several functions:
• charging the transmitter battery,
• connecting the cable for teacher/pupil operation (9.2. Teacher/pupil mode), and
• connecting the cable for diagnosis operation (12.3. Using the diagnosis lead).
Charging the battery - important note:
•• Automatic battery fuse
The battery installed in your transmitter is fitted with an internal thermal fuse.
The COCKPIT
MM
must be used only with a genuine MULTIPLEX battery
fitted with this type of fuse.
This fuse protects the battery from excessive current flow if a short-circuit should
occur.
!!
When the short-circuit is removed, the fuse element cools down within about
one minute, and the battery then works again normally.
•• First connect the charge lead to the charger
Always connect the charge lead to the battery charger first, and only then to the
transmitter. If you do it the other way round, the banana plugs on the charge lead
could touch and short-circuit the battery.
•• When charging the battery please note:
Normal (slow) charging:
no restrictions or special measures required.
Rapid charging with automatic charge termination: do not exceed the maximum
current stated in the operating instructions. If you ignore this, the fuse element may
trip, and the charge process will be broken off prematurely.
Never exceed the charge currents stated by the manufacturer!
4.1.2. Charging the receiver battery
The same recommendations apply to the receiver battery.
Read the manufacturer’s charging notes, which are printed on the
battery. The charge currents stated by the manufacturer must not be
exceeded!

Replacing and adjusting the stick tops
The stick tops are a push-fit on the sticks; they are secured by a twisting motion.
1. To release a stick top rotate the plastic moulding until you feel it come loose.
The stick top can then easily be pulled off the stick shaft.
2. To fit a stick top, first fit the plastic moulding onto the stick and rotate it until it
slips easily down the shaft. Set it at your preferred length, and lock it by twist-
ing the stick top through about 180°.
4.1.6. COCKPIT
MM
expansion facilities and re-adjustment
In its standard form the COCKPIT
MM
features up to 7 control channels (4 stick channels,
3 auxiliary channels), depending on the version you have purchased. You can con-
vert or expand the transmitter to meet your individual needs and wishes.
Auxiliary channels
The three auxiliary channels (controls E, F, G) can be operated by any combination
of:
• slider (# 7 5720)
• rotary adjustor (# 7 5719)
• 2-position or 3-position switch (# 7 5742 resp. # 7 5740)
These controls are connected to the sockets marked E, F and G on the main circuit
board (Fig. V).
Important:
After installation or modification of controls re-adjustment is necessary!
If auxiliary controls are added or their connecting location is changed, all con-
trols must be realigned. Do not attempt to realign the transmitter until you are
familiar with the operating philosophy of the transmitter (see 5. Operating phi-
losophy).
This is how you realign controls:

The connectors can be fit to the main electronics board in either direction. When
turned by 180 deg. the switch position for ON/OF is reversed.
Essential expansion for use with model helicopters:
• Slider (# 7 5720) for idle up (as control E)
• 2-pos. switch (# 7 5742) for auto-rotation select
• 3-pos. switch (# 7 5740 or # 7 5707 E/A/T)
for the timer and MOTOR OFF
• optional rotary adjustor (# 7 5719) for setting gyro gain (sensitivity)
General information for the supplementary installation of controls and switches
The slider can only be installed between the two primary stick units (see instruc-
tions supplied with slider). All the other optional controls can be installed in any
arrangement on the front face of the transmitter. As standard the mounting holes
are sealed with plastic blanking plugs.
For more detailed information on the way these auxiliary controls can be used
please read the appropriate section of these operating instructions.
4.2. What is supposed to happen?
We bet you are keen to try out your new radio control system immediately, and the
best way of doing this is to assemble a „test“ receiving system. We assume that you
have already carried out the Preparation as described in Chapter 4.1, and set stick
mode 1 (see 8.2.2., Selecting the stick mode).
If you have purchased the COCKPIT
MM
with a MULTIPLEX The Brick/EinStein,
first plug the receiver crystal into the socket; the
crystal must be on the same channel as the transmit-
ter. MULTIPLEX receiver crystals are fitted with Re-
ceiver crystal sleeve and are printed with the code
letter „E“ in front of the channel number. As already
mentioned, it is important to ensure that the receiver
crystal is correct for the frequency band on which the receiver operates.
As with the transmitter, you can tell the frequency band of any MULTIPLEX receiver
by the colour of the aerial:
orange = 35 MHz band
green = 40 MHz band
red = 72 MHz band
The transmitter and receiver must be on the same frequency band!

You reach the settings of the
SETUP menu.
6.
Rotate the 3D digi-
adjustor 5 times
clockwise
5 x
You reach the language select
setting „TEXT“.
At this point we ought to mention how the cursor 44 works:
As soon as you have selected a setting at the parameter level, you can switch from
the first line (orientation line) to the second line (setting line) by pressing the 3D
digi-adjustor once. Once the cursor is in the second line you can adjust the setting
by rotating the digi-adjustor. The cursor moves from the first to the second line to
confirm that you have moved to that part of the program.
7.
Press the 3D digi-
adjustor once
1 x
The cursor jumps to the second
line. „DEU“ means that the active
language is German (deutsch)
8.
Rotate the 3D digi-
adjustor1 step
clockwise
1 x
„EN“ appears. The language is
now switched to English
9.
Press the 3D digi-
adjustor once
1 x
The cursor moves back to the
first line.
10.
Rotate the 3D digi-
adjustor 6 steps
anti-clockwise
6 x
„EXIT“ appears
11.
Press the 3D digi-
adjustor once
1 x
„SETUP“ appears. You are re-
turned to the Menu level.

„INFO“ appears.
13.
Press the 3D digi-
adjustor once
1 x
You are returned to the starting
point: operating screen 1.
This completes the example, and you have now selected your chosen language. All
other settings are selected and changed using the same general principle. If you
already have experience in modelling and are familiar with the type of program-
ming we are dealing with here, you will now be able to set up your first model with
the help of the flow chart.

5.4. Digital trims and trim value memory
The purpose of the trims on a radio control transmitter is to adjust the neutral posi-
tion of the controls to ensure that, for example, the model flies in a perfectly
straight line without requiring any help from the pilot.
5.4.1. Digital trims
The COCKPIT
MM
is the first MULTIPLEX transmitter to feature digital trims. This means
that the trims no longer take the form of a slider or lever, but a rocker switch. The
trims are adjusted by pushing the trim rocker in the appropriate direction. Every
time you push the rocker, the trim (neutral position) is altered by one increment, or
step. A beep confirms each step. In the case of the COCKPIT
MM
one trim step equals a
change in the neutral position by 2% of the servo travel (100% per side). The trim
settings are always shown on the screen in the form of four bars on the sides and
bottom of the screen.

5.4.2. Trim display
The trim settings are shown on the screen in the form of bars:
Trim neutral
1 trim step to the right
4 trim steps to the right
Full trim movement to the right (11 steps)
If you move the trim to maximum trim travel you will hear a beep as a warning,
which differs from the trim step beeps. You will hear a trill to confirm that the trim is
at centre (neutral). (Try it to hear the different sounds!)
5.4.3. Trim memory
A crucial advantage of modern micro-computer radio control systems lies in the fact
that the transmitter can store the optimised trim settings for each model. The ad-
vantage of this facility is that you can be confident that the same trims are set when
you select a particular model memory as when you last used that model. The model
therefore behaves exactly as it did last time out, and you won’t have any nasty sur-
prises. The COCKPIT
MM
features a trim memory, and you, as user, don’t need to con-
cern yourself with it at all. When you switch the transmitter off, the current trim
values are automatically stored. When you switch on again, select the appropriate
model memory (if you have changed models), and you can fly again immediately,
with the trims correctly set automatically.
5.4.4. Trim type (centre trim)
All four trims work on the centre trim principle (exception: see 8.2.3.: throttle trim
type). That means that the end-points of the servo’s travel are unchanged even if
you alter the trim setting, and the same applies if you adjust the servo centre in the
SERVO menu. In contrast to standard trims, you can always exploit the full servo
travel to both sides.
