Every once in a while when I turn on the heli (always after turning on the TX), The lights on the remote receivers flash instead of the usual steady light.

What does that mean?

There´s a new feature on the spektrum rx´s since about one year.

If the rx reboots due to to low voltage the led´s will flash afterwards, to show you that this did happen.
The quick connect feature will make the rx start up so fast that you probably wont notice the reboot.

It tell you to take a look at the power supply to the rx.

Its programmed so the led will flash if the rx did catch the same 2 2.4ghz freqvenses as befor the reboot.

This means that if you have the system up running and shut off the rx, and then on(without shutting off and then on the tx) the rx will connect to the same freqvenses as before, and therefore the led will flash. To make ém not flash turn on and off the tx before restarting the rx.

When I fly my trex450 IU often leave the tx on, just changing the lipo in the trex...if I not shut off and on the tx the led will flash.

There is no problem to fly with it flashing, but the feature that will show you flashing led if the rx did reboot during flight will be put out of order(it already flashes).

THX for the info.

This is good to know because, I had the same problem on my newest AR6100. I found out when I cycled the tx it would fix the problem.

Yup...

You need to turn off receiver and cycle the transmitter power to clear it.. other wise it just thinks it had another power outage and continues to blink.

In life there is no spacebar!
