Default Aerohawk not responding

I just received my Aerohawk today. I am defintely a newbie to R/C anything. Anyway, I have a Mode 2 Transmitter 35 mHz with throttle on left (the crystal on the transmitter and receiver on helicopter match). I turn on the transmitter (which shows good power) and then plug in the battery pack on the Aerohawk. The red LED lights up and then...nothing. It doesn't respond to any control movement whatsoever. I tested the main roter and tail rotor by plugging them directly to the battery pack and they both start spinning.

Is there any testing I can do? I don't know if the transmitter is transmitting and I don't know if the receiver is receiving.

On my Aerohawk, behind the pcb there are 7 rows of pins, 3 pins in each row. The top 4 rows have plugs in them and the wire colors for each row are as follows:
Orange/Red/Orange
Orange/Red/Orange
Black/Red/White
Black/White

Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks,
Eric
