Traxxas Summit 5607 Owner's Manual page 9

Transmitter - The hand-held radio unit that sends throttle and
steering instructions to your model.
Trim - The fine-tuning adjustment of the neutral position of the
servos, made by adjusting the throttle and steering trim knobs on
the face of the transmitter. Note: The Multi-Function knob must
be programmed to serve as a throttle trim adjustment.
Thermal Shutdown Protection - Temperature sensing electronics
are used in the ESC to detect overloading and overheating of the
transistor circuitry. If excessive temperature is detected, the unit
automatically shuts down to prevent damage to the electronics.
2-channel radio system - The TQ radio system, consisting of
the receiver, the transmitter, and the servos. The system uses
two channels: one to operate the throttle and one to operate
the steering.
2.4GHz Spread Spectrum – This model is equipped with the latest
R/C technology. Unlike AM and FM systems that require frequency
crystals and are prone to frequency conflicts, the TQ 2.4GHz system
automatically selects and locks onto an open frequency, and offers
superior resistance to interference and "glitching."
Voltage - Voltage is a measure of the electrical potential difference
between two points, such as between the positive battery
terminal and ground. Using the analogy of the garden hose,
while current is the quantity of water flow in the hose, voltage
corresponds to the pressure that is forcing the water through
the hose.
550 and 540 - These numbers refer to the size of the motor. 550
motors have armatures that are 30% longer than 540 motors.
TRAXXAS TQ 2.4GHz RADIO SYSTEM
IMPORTANT RADIO SYSTEM PRECAUTIONS
For maximum range, always hold the
transmitter so the antenna is in a vertical
position (pointing straight up). The
transmitter's antenna can be swiveled
and angled to allow for a vertical position
if necessary.
Do not kink the receiver's antenna wire.
Kinks in the antenna wire will reduce range.
DO NOT CUT any part of the receiver's antenna wire.
Cutting the antenna will reduce range.
Extend the antenna wire in the model as
far as possible for maximum range. It is not
necessary to extend the antenna wire out
of the body, but wrapping or coiling the
antenna wire should be avoided.
Do not allow the antenna wire to extend
outside the body without the protection of
an antenna tube, or the antenna wire may
get cut or damaged, reducing range. It is
recommended to keep the wire inside the
body (in the antenna tube) to prevent the
chance of damage.
To prevent loss of radio range
do not kink or cut the black wire,
do not bend or cut the metal tip,
and do not bend or cut the white
wire at the end of the metal tip.
