Default Nexstar ARF RX, Batt issue

Hello all, I'm just getting back into the hobby after a deployment and I was building my nexstar arf. The issue i'm running into is when I plug the RX batt into the RX the lights in the rx flash on for a second and the servos twitch, then nothing. I bought a new rx batt and the same thing happend. I'm running a DX7 with a spectrum rx. I re-bound the two and still the same issue. So if anyone has any ideas on how or what to look for i'd appreciate it! Thanks in advance!

Either ( in order of decending likelyhood given your description):

- You have a reversed connector somewhere grounding things out.

- You THINK the RX is bound to the TX, when it is actually not.

- The batteries are not fully charged or producing enough current.

- You have the wrong model selected on the TX.... you bound the RX in another save "slot".

- The RX is bad.

- The TX is bad.

As has been stated by Opjose I agree and believe you have not properly bound rx to tx.

Thanks for the help today! It was not bound properly, I actually read on another thread that you can't have the TX to close to the RX when binding....and that solved my problem, Thanks again.
