Does the red light flash when it's in 'binding' mode? Long time since l've bound a HL but it rings a bell, figuratively speaking!! :{

is this how you do it?
Turn on radio and tank, at this time the radio led is on and the tank leds flash.
- Press and hold the “start” button on the remote control and press and hold the ST button in the tank battery compartment. The tank will start, this indicates that the pairing was successful

You know when you are driving, and you hear a strange annoying noise, but everything is working as it should, so, you turn up the radio to drown it out :D
Therefore a square of insulation tape to hide the annoying flashing lamp sounds a good plan :thumbup: ;)

I've never had this problem myself, but the way I see it, if everything is working as it should, it must be a glitch with the transmitter.
I only use 1.2 volt rechargeable AA batteries, and even their lower voltage hasn't caused this, and that's a whole 2.4 volts lower than recommended in the 8 battery transmitters.
