Use the Right Batteries

Your transmitter uses AA

batteries. Use new alkaline

batteries, or rechargeable

batteries such as NiMH

(Nickel Metal Hydride)

batteries in your transmitter.

Make sure rechargeable

batteries are fully

charged according to the

manufacturer’s instructions.

If you use rechargeable

batteries in your

transmitter, be aware

that when they begin

to lose their charge, they lose

power more quickly than

regular alkaline batteries.

Caution: Discontinue running

your model at the ﬁrst sign of

weak batteries (ﬂashing red

light) to avoid losing control.

INSTALLING TRANSMITTER BATTERIES

Your TQ transmitter uses 4 AA batteries. The battery compartment

is located in the base of the transmitter.

1. Remove the battery compartment door by pressing the tab

and lifting the door up.

2. Install the batteries in the correct orientation as indicated in

the battery compartment.

3. Reinstall the battery door and snap it closed.

4. Turn on the transmitter and check the status indicator for a solid

green light.

If the status LED ﬂashes red, the transmitter batteries may be

weak, discharged or possibly installed incorrectly. Replace with

new or freshly charged batteries. The power indicator light does

not indicate the charge level of the battery pack installed in the

model. Refer to the Troubleshooting section on page 27 for more

information on the transmitter Status LED codes.

SETTING UP THE ANTENNA

The receiver antenna has been set up

and installed from the factory. The

antenna is secured by a 3x4mm set

screw. To remove the antenna tube,

simply remove the set screw with the

included 1.5mm wrench.

When reinstalling the antenna,

slide the antenna wire into the bottom

of the antenna tube until the white

tip of the antenna exits the top of

the tube. Carefully curve the white

tip over the antenna tube and install

the antenna tip to hold it in place.

Next, insert the antenna tube into the

mount. Make sure the antenna wire is

in the antenna mount slot, then install

the set screw next to the antenna tube.

Use the supplied 1.5mm wrench to

tighten the screw just until the antenna

tube is securely in place. Do not over

tighten.

Do not bend or kink the antenna wire!

See the side bar for more information.

CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK

Your model includes a ‘wall charger’ that will

charge the supplied battery in approximately

six hours.

Plug the charger into the wall. Connect

the included battery pack to the charger output

cord. After six hours,

unplug the battery from the

charger, and unplug the charger from the wall,

when charging is complete. Never leave a battery

unattended while charging.

INSTALLING THE BATTERY PACK

Your model includes a 7.2-volt battery pack. To properly balance the

model, it should be installed in the battery compartment on the left

side of the model. Follow these steps to install the battery:
