INSTALLING TRANSMITTER BATTERIES

Your TQ 2.4GHz 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 compartment door and snap it closed.

4.Turn on the transmitter and check the status LED 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 status LED does not indicate the charge level of the battery pack installed in the model. Refer to the Troubleshooting section on page 15 for more information on the transmitter’s status LED codes.

CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK

The included charger can be used to charge the included battery pack. The battery pack should be removed from the vehicle before charging. Do not leave the battery unattended while charging. It is normal for the battery to become slightly warm as it nears full-charge, but the battery should never become hot. If the battery becomes hot, disconnect it from the charger immediately.

1.Plug the charger into the wall. The LED on the charger should glow green.

2.Connect the included battery pack to the charger output cord. The LED will glow red, indicating the battery is charging.

3.The battery should charge for approximately 8 ½ hours. The LED will turn green when the battery is fully charged. Disconnect the battery from the charger after charging.

Using Other Chargers

Another convenient option for charging the included battery is an AC peak-detecting charger that plugs directly into an AC wall outlet, such as the TRX EZ-Peak™(Part #2930). It contains special peak-detection circuitry that automatically shuts the charger off when the battery is fully charged.

For faster charging, the included battery may be charged at

4 amps. The TRX EZ-Peak™is a 4 amp charger and will charge the included battery in about 45 minutes!

Caution: Never use a 15-minute timed charger to recharge your model’s battery packs. Overcharging may result, causing damage to the battery packs.

If the status LED doesn’t light green, check the polarity

of the batteries. Check rechargeable batteries for a full charge. If you see any other flashing signal from the LED, refer to the chart on page 15 to identify the code.

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.
