USING THE RADIO SYSTEM
Before installing the TQ radio system in your model, make certain the
steering trim knob is centered. After you have installed and bound
the radio system, confirm the steering servo and throttle servo (if
installed) operate properly: turning the steering wheel right makes
the front wheels turn right (and vice-versa). If either control operates
"backwards," follow the throttle reversing procedure on page 4 to
reverse the servo's operation.
After confirming correct servo operation, use the TQ's steering trim
knob to center your model's front wheels so it drives straight with the
steering wheel at its neutral position.
If there is not enough adjustment to achieve this with the steering trim
knob, reset the steering trim to its center position, then remove and
reinstall the servo's steering horn to center the steering system as close
as possible. The steering trim knob can now be used to make the final
adjustments.
If your model is equipped with an electronic speed control, it will
have to be calibrated to the TQ radio system. Follow the instructions
included with your vehicle or your speed control to calibrate it properly.
Radio System Rules
• Always turn your transmitter on first and off last. This procedure will
help to prevent your model from receiving stray signals from another
transmitter, or other source, and running out of control. Your model
has electronic failsafes to prevent this type of malfunction, but the first,
best defense against a runaway model is to always turn the transmitter
on first and off last.
• Always turn on the transmitter before plugging in the battery.
6 • TQ RADIO SYSTEM
• Always use new or freshly charged batteries for the radio system.
Weak batteries will limit the radio signal between the receiver and
the transmitter. Loss of the radio signal can cause you to lose control
of your model.
• In order for the transmitter and receiver to bind to one another, the
receiver in the model must be turned on within 20 seconds of turning
on the transmitter. The transmitter LED will flash fast red, indicating
a failure to link. If you miss it, simply turn off the transmitter and start
over.
Range-Testing the Radio System
Before each running session with your model, you should range-test
your radio system to ensure that it operates properly.
1. T urn on the radio system and check its operation as described in the
previous section.
2. H ave a friend hold the model. Make sure hands and clothing are
clear of the wheels and other moving parts on the model.
3. W alk away from the model with the transmitter until you reach the
farthest distance you plan to operate the model.
4. O perate the controls on the transmitter once again to be sure that
the model responds correctly.
5. D o not attempt to operate the model if there is any problem with
the radio system or any external interference with your radio signal
at your location.
