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 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 17 for more information on
the transmitter status LED codes.

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
17 to identify the code.
Use the Right Batteries
Your transmitter uses AA
batteries. Use new alkaline
batteries (Part # 2914) 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.
