Transmitter has perminant red light even with new batteries

Post by FV434 »

Hi All

Just doing an upgrade on my tiger and had managed to get it together enough to test.

Ran it to test sound and all movement and everything in the chassis worked as it should.

I switched off to do the next job and when I turned the transmitter back on it had a red light.  :(

I have rechargables in it so thought ok I will try brand new normal batteries but still just get a red light.  >:(

Anyone have a clue why it would be doing this?

the red light on the TX is supposed to be on, you have to worry when it goes off, it is the power indicator

Err  I thought it should be green when all OK.

Being colour blind can be a problem.

heng long transmitter ,red light means good battery power, no light means time to replace batteries,although the transmitter will still work on a limited range .regards
