"Optic 6" big problem
Hi! I have a new "optic 6" 2.4ghz and its receiver 7 channels.
Battery is ok (10.4 v), battery of the receiver is ok. it worked for 10 minutes (more or less), then when Iswitched it on, no way to bind the radio with the receiver.
I tried EVERYTHING.
When I turn the radio, I hear ONE short BIP and on the back Isee the BLUEand RED led on (NO blinking).
The receiver has a RED led on, fix (no blinking).
If I push the button on the back of the radio (with a pencil) and turn the radio, then keep it for 6 seconds, NOTHING happens ! Still BLUE and RED led on and no blinking.
Don't know what to do... :-(
In the manual there are no hints about REDand BLUEled on fixed. Exists a way to HARDRESET the radio?
I tried to make the binding procedure many times and to change and test the batteries..NOTHING! Still those BLUEand RED led on the radio. The receiver appears to try to bind when I make the procedure (red led flashing).
Please Help.. :-(

RE:
I read those linked pages but:
1- There is no mention about what RED & BLUE led fixed (no blinking-flashing) on the radio mean....
2- There is no mention of why if I push the button for binding the leds on the radio are always RED and BLUE and fixed.
I am a bit disappointed by the manual, because there is no troubleshooting scheme page.
I hope to get help from this forum of experts... I had a Futaba radio and I decided to buy Hitec because I read good reviews...

LEDstatus lights are recorded, in colour, on the small wallet card which was included for convenience at the field. Refer also the .pdf copies attached to the link provided:
"Spectra Pro Module - Optima Receiver ID-Setup A.K.A, binding or linking & Range Test "
refer to the LEDStatus Cards. Digital .pdf copies attached which can be printed and inserted as a page in manual or extra cards made. " which was included with your system.
"3. Normal / Scan Mode - Switch: Turn TXon first, then push button.
Press and hold the Spectra Pro Module button for <six are="" beeps="" continuous="" two="" once="" style="color: #993300"></six>release the button immediately. (Refer Module LED Status Indicator attached)"
Note top follow the correct order of turning TX&RX on/Off.
In normal use always TX On First - TX Off Last but when linking, RX must be turned off first and then the TX, following which back to TX on first off last.

RE: RE:
Tried everything, still no explanation why I can't get any bip or led flashing from my TX module, waiting 1, 2, 6, 10 or 1000 seconds !! Keeping the small button pressed before and after turning on the tx.
None seems to know deeply this Optic-6 radio and its 2.4 ghz tx module (which suck I fear).
