Red LED Hold Indicator
The AR8000 features a red LED that indicates the number of holds that have occurred since
the receiver was last powered on. The LED will flash the number of holds then pause (e.g.,
flash, flash, flash, pause, flash, flash, flash, pause indicates three holds occurred since the
receiver was last turned on). Note that holds are reset to zero when the receiver is turned off.
During the first flights of a new airplane, it’s recommended to check the red LED hold indicator.
If it’s flashing, it’s important to optimize the installation (move or reposition antennas) until no
hold occurs. On later flights, the LED Hold Indicator can be used to confirm RF link performance.

CHECK YOU RECEIVER INSTALATION IN THE PLANE. Also look over your transmitter antenna. The signal was not being received. Not a battery issue. I recommend getting longer wires for your satellite receiver- the 3-4 inch wire it comes with is not long enough to get you good separation. Hobby king sells them for about 2 for a 36" extension. Try to get your satellite at least a foot away from the receiver. and clear of metal or wires.
