TQ RADIO SYSTEM • 7
Higher Speeds Require Greater Distance
The faster you drive your model, the more quickly it will near the limit of
radio range. At top speeds, models can cover anywhere between 50 to
100 feet every second! It’s a thrill, but use caution to keep your model
in range. If you want to see your model achieve its maximum speed, it
is best to position yourself in the middle of the truck’s running area, not
the far end, so you drive the truck towards and past your position. In
addition to maximizing the radio’s range, this technique will keep your
model closer to you, making it easier to see and control.
No matter how fast or far you drive your model, always leave adequate
space between you, the model, and others. Never drive directly toward
yourself or others.
TQ 2.4GHz 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 an additional transmitter or receiver, follow
these instructions.
Note
: The receiver must be connected to a 4.8-6.0v
(nominal) power source for binding and the transmitter and receiver must
be within 5 feet of each other.
1. Press and hold the SET button on the transmitter.
2. Turn on the transmitter and release the SET button. The status LED will
flash red slowly, indicating that the transmitter is in bind mode.
3. Press and hold the LINK button on the receiver.
4. Turn on the speed control by pressing the EZ-Set button, and release the
LINK button.
5. When the LEDs on both the transmitter and the receiver turn solid green,
the system is bound and ready for use. Confirm that the steering and
throttle operate properly before driving your model.
USING THE RADIO SYSTEM
The TQ 2.4GHz transmitter has a directional antenna. For
maximum range, hold the antenna upright and pointed in
the direction of the model. Pointing the transmitter away
from the model will reduce radio range.
