Jester_s1 is right. The flashing red light indicates the receiver has lost contact with the Transmitter - but not from a brown out.

Watch my videos and you will see why the red light comes on.. the number of times it flashes demonstrates how many times it has lost contact with the TX.

I have personally never had it happen while flying, might be worth checking your RX / Satellite positioning and doing a full range check.
