Use the Right Batteries
Your transmitter uses AA
batteries. Use new alkaline
batteries. Do not use
rechargeable AA cells to power
the TQi transmitter, as they will
not provide sufficient voltage
for optimum transmitter
performance.
Caution: Discontinue running
your model at the first sign of
weak batteries (flashing red
LED) to avoid losing control.

INSTALLING RECEIVER BATTERIES
The radio receiver in your model uses four AA batteries.
The battery holder for the receiver batteries is located underneath
the battery cover on the rear bumper.
1. Remove the battery cover by removing the body clip from the post.
2. Remove the battery holder and install four AA alkaline batteries.
Make careful note of the battery polarity by comparing against the
diagrams in the battery holder.
3. Insert the battery holder into the battery compartment.
4. Direct the battery wires through the slot in the
battery compartment. If the wires are not properly
routed, they may become broken or shorted,
causing radio system failure and loss of control.
5. Reinstall the battery cover and secure with the
body clip.
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
sliding the door open.
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 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 32 for more information on the transmitter's status LED codes.
