ix20 with JR1221 Rx

I am trying to move an airplane with a JR1221 (DSM2) RX to my ix20. Everything binds correctly including the TM1000, and everything works as expected. However when I cycle power the Rx LEDs flash around twice a second, but the TM1000 does not. It is all working but the flashing LEDs, as I recall, means that the Rx thinks it browned out. Re-binding changes nothing and power cycling both the Tx and Rx changes nothing. Anyone know what causes this? Rx power is a 2 cell A123, and this is not the fast flash of being in the bind mode.

Thanks for replying Andy
Is it considered safe to fly?
interestingly I noticed if you power on the Rx first it doesn’t show the problem.
another question if I might; I cannot find official instructions on how to do the firmware update on the IX20, where does one find these?

There are no updates for either, nor will there be. The AR1221 is not able to be updated. This is the way it is for DSM2 going forward using the TI-based transmitters.
