My Optic 6 2.4 tx appears normal when I turn it on, however, when the rx is turned on and I bind it to the tx, when the power is cycled off on both and they they are turned back on, the tx will make a series of 3 short beeps with and intervening silence. It seems to be working, but I would really like to know what this is indicating. Powering off the rx and leaving the tx on stops the beeps. Is it an indication of a rx problem, thought it did it on 3 different rx. Any help would be appreciated. I am returning to the US in May, and will hand carry it back if it must be returned for repair.

It just indicates a proper bind with the RX has been established.

I would have thought so too, but it continues. And this has never happened before. I noted that I had a proper bind as everything else seems to work OK. But the beeping just keeps on going. That, I do not think is normal. Could be have something to do with the telemetry stuff (which I have never gotten into)?

if you are getting more than three beeps and a working quiet system, then you need to check both rx and tx battery voltage. I don't own an Optic 6, so this suggestion is all I can offer. Experts to chime in soon, hopefully.

Suspect the built in RF Module rather than the Optic 6 Sport operatingsystem.

Thanks Al Sounds like my problem will be in the battery area. Will did into it tomorrow morning and will let you know how I come out.

Hi Guy, If you get 3 beeps, pause 3 beeps,and continues,the problem is your receiver battery. the receiver telemetry is working, telling you that you have low battery voltage, If you get 4 quick beeps,that's showing you that your transmitter and receiver are bound. thanks Ed

Turned out that when my tx glitched last week, it dumped all the programing in it, including the low battery voltage setting. It had gone from the 4/5 cell battery to the custom and was set for 6.5 volts. Once I reset that, all worked fine. Now all I need to do is get confidence in the transmitter before I will use it again. Might just send it back for service since I am moving back to the USA in May.

Thanks for the ideas guys, I appreciate it.
