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 steering trim knob on the face of
the transmitter.
Thermal Shutdown Protection - Temperature sensing electronics
used in the electronic speed control 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 2.4GHz 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.
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.
IMPORTANT RADIO SYSTEM PRECAUTIONS
• For maximum range, always point the front of the transmitter
toward the model.
• 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.
• You must extend the antenna wire in the model as far as possible
for maximum range. In doing so, the antenna wire will be extended
outside of the vehicle body. Do not wrap or coil the antenna wire
to keep it from extending out of the body.
• The antenna wire must be installed into the antenna tube to
protect it from getting cut or damaged, which will reduce range.
When installing the antenna wire into the antenna tube, be careful
not to kink the wire by pressing it against the antenna tube cap.
The antenna wire should extend to just below or to within one-half
inch below the cap.
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.
