when I trun helicopter on, should LEDs on top of it lite up? I saw them blink once, but never again.

Yes they should say on tell battery run out then it will blink again to recharge it .

I just moved the panel around until they stopped blinking. I haven't had the problem for a while. The lights do not come on without me toggling the on/off switch though.

When I plugged in mine it had a low red glow with no numbers lit until I started flight simulator. Ocasionally all the numbers will stay lit as well after I shut down flight simulator as well. Double check the forums on avsim.com or the saitek website if it keeps acting up.

The LED light will work for a long time. The only thing that works right! It just doesn't fly up into the sky far enough to allow the 'helicopter' action floating back to earth.

The led's on the Rayovac do not blink. If it's not charging the device then it's probably the connection.

Be sure that the batteries in the remote are fresh charged alkaline and make sure the helicopter battery is also fully charged. When you know this and want to fly, face the helicopter away from you and activate the controls......have fun.

Make sure your pointing transmitter at helicopter, have a full charge. If problems persist I'd return it, they are very good units.

From what I understand from reading the owners manual, that indication is the chargers way of telling you that the battery is very discharged and is only at about 25% of its capacity. The LEDs are supposed to blink, not light up solid, as the charger is charging. If there is nothing wrong with the battery, the charge level should start going up after a while and in a few hours, the LEDs should read at 100% (solid, not blinking, red, red, yellow, green LEDs). I hope this helps you Mary! Michael R

I never had both lites on at the same time but I've had them blinking alternatively red/green. I put a new battery in the transmitter and I think it helped but still happened occasionally. I re-positioned the receiver to be more 'in line" with the transmitter and messed with the antenna and have no more problem. In my opinion, light issues are due to poor signal. My "signal" passes thru one wall/door at a distance of less than 40'. At 50' I had problems. Try different (closer) locations for the receiver. I was about to add wire to the antenna to see if that would help but after reposition, didn't need to. I never had both lites on at the same time but I've had them blinking alternatively red/green.

You have given me valuable info .Might be a reason not to but another Dorcey if there are no light replacements .Not a good sign.I will try looking into this. seaBee

Yea, light off means charging. When light turns on...heli is fully charged. BUT you must have heli turned off to charge up. However, when heli is tured on, no LED lighting up just means heli is not charging...not that it is necessarily charged. Basically, turn it off to charge.

No, it should not blink. Both lights are red while charging and top row/right hand side column of the battery charge changes to green when the battery if fully charge.

Mine does the same (and judging from review so do everyone elses). I believe this is the 730nm LEDm which is just outside of the visible spectrum, so it is mostly likely on and working, you just can't see it.

Well, this is something everyone agrees on. When you attach your device a number of the four LEDs will light up and start blinking, depending on how discharged your device is. You are fully charged when all four are lit up and steady. It really is something I've found very handy.

I have only experienced this with LED bulbs on a different light housing. I'd recommend trying a regular light bulb/flood light bulb to see if the blinking still occurs.

They blink one at a time until all four LED's are constantly lit. This lets you know when it is fully charged up.

sounds like its not sinked with controller. turn controller off plug in the battery to copter then push in the left controller and hold(it should click) and turn on controller at same time and watch copter lights will change hold until shows steady light. and it should be good to go
