The Traxxas TQ-3 Radio System
Installing Transmitter Batteries
Your TQ-3 transmitter uses 8 AA batteries.The battery
compartment is located at the base of the transmitter.
1. Remove the battery compartment door by pressing the
tab and lifting the door up.
2. Install the batteries in the correct orientation as indicated
in the battery compartment.
3. Reinstall the battery door and snap it closed.
4. Turn on the transmitter and check the power indicator for
a solid red light.
If the power indicator light flashes, then the transmitter
batteries are weak,discharged or possibly installed incorrectly.
Replace with new or freshly charged batteries.The power
indicator light does not indicate the charge level of the
receiver batteries in the model.
Use the Right Batteries
Your transmitter and receiver
use AA batteries. Use new
alkaline batteries, or
rechargeable batteries such as
NiCad or Ni-MH (nickel-metal
hydride) batteries in your
transmitter and receiver. Make
sure rechargeable batteries are
fully charged according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
If you use rechargeable
batteries in your transmitter, be
aware that when they begin to
lose their charge, they lose
power much more quickly than
regular alkaline batteries.
Caution: Discontinue
running your T-Maxx at the
first sign of weak batteries
(flashing red light) to avoid
losing control.
If the power indicator
doesn’t light red, check
the polarity of the
batteries. Check rechargeable
batteries for a full charge.
