TQi Binding Instructions
For proper operation, the transmitter and receiver must be
electronically “bound.”
This has been done for you at the factory.
Should you ever need to re-bind the system or bind to another
transmitter or receiver, follow these instructions.
Note
: The receiver
must be connected to a 4.8-6.0v (nominal) power source for binding.
Vehicles equipped with an electronic speed control contain a BEC
that provides a lower voltage to power the receiver (see page 11). The
transmitter and receiver must be within 5 feet of each other.
1. Press and hold the transmitter’s SET button as you switch the
transmitter on. The transmitter’s LED will flash red slowly. Release
the SET button.
2. Press and hold the receiver’s LINK button as you switch on
the speed control (by pressing the EZ-Set button). Release the
LINK button.
3. When the transmitter and receiver’s LEDs turn solid green, the
system is bound and ready for use. Confirm that the steering and
throttle operate properly before driving your model.
Cruise Control
The Multi-Function Knob on the TQi transmitter has been programmed
to control Cruise Control
on the TRX-4, which maintains vehicle speed
for more comfortable long-distance travel (such as hiking on trails).
To operate Cruise Control,
accelerate to your desired
speed and press the SET
button on the transmitter
to lock the speed in. Your
model will continue at the
set speed until you apply
the brakes.
You can fine tune the
speed to exactly match
your pace by adjusting the
multi-function knob on the
transmitter. Turn the knob
clockwise to increase speed,
counterclockwise to reduce
speed. You can accelerate
and drive faster with the
Cruise Control set, and the
vehicle will resume the set
speed when the throttle is
released (Resume function).
SETTING UP THE ANTENNA
The receiver antenna has been
set up and installed from the
factory. The antenna is secured
by a 3x4mm set screw. To
remove the antenna tube, simply
remove the set screw with the
included 1.5mm wrench.
When reinstalling the antenna,
first slide the antenna wire into
the bottom of the antenna tube
until the white tip of the antenna
is at the top of the tube under
the black cap. Next, insert the
antenna tube into the mount
while making sure that the
antenna wire is in the slot in the
antenna mount; then, install the set screw next to the antenna tube.
Use the supplied 1.5mm wrench to tighten the screw just until the
antenna tube is securely in place. Do not over tighten.
Do not bend
or kink the antenna wire! See the side bar for more information.
Do not shorten the antenna tube.
