INSTALLING TRANSMITTER BATTERIES
Your TQi 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 31 for more information on the transmitter status
LED codes.
