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 32 for more
information on the transmitter status LED codes.

If the status LED doesn't light
green, check the polarity of
the batteries. If you see any
other flashing signal from the
LED, refer to the chart on page
32 to identify the code.
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
light) to avoid losing control.
