Remote Control Operation
The remote control has a range of approximately 20 feet. Use only AA alkaline batteries in the handset
and observe the correct polarity marked in the case. The remote control duplicates every function on the
front panel of your TDQ-150 with the following exceptions:
Separate On and Off Buttons
Separate on and off buttons facilitate programming individual on and off commands into a system
controller or a macro sequence on a learning remote control.
Preset Buttons 1-0
There are separate preset buttons for direct access to each preset station on the remote control. Press the
desired button for stored preset stations. To select stations above preset 9, first press the tens place button.
For example, to select preset 23, first press 2, then 3.
Memory Button
The TDQ-150 has the capability of storing up to 30 stations into memory. The first preset is number is
00 and the last preset number is 29.
To store preset stations into memory:
1. Tune to the radio frequency you want to store into memory.
2. Press the Memory button on the remote control, the Memory indicator lights up in the front panel
display.
3. Press the number button on the remote to select the desired preset number such as 3 for preset number
3, or 1 and 5 for Preset 15. After you have selected the preset number, the Memory indicator goes out.

•
The selected broadcast frequency such as 102.1 MHz for FM or 810 kHz for AM.
•
The selected FM or AM band selected frequency range, MHz for FM, kHz for AM
•

TDQ-150 Power Activation Options
The TDQ-150 can be turned on with either the On-Off button on its front panel, or the On and Off buttons
on the remote control. The TDQ-150 can also be turned on by applying a +12V DC voltage to the DC
trigger jack on the rear panel. When the DC trigger jack is connected, the On and Off commands from
the buttons on the front panel and remote control are defeated. The tuner automatically turns on whenever
AC voltage is applied. This makes it convenient to connect the TDQ-150 to a switched outlet. The TDQ-
150 depends on a continuously live AC line to power its preset memory, however it can maintain memory
for over a month if its AC source is inactive. Each time the tuner is operated, the energy storage for its
memory function is recharged.
