The receiver will blink if you turned it off/unplugged the battery while the transmitter is on then plugged it back in without turning off the transmitter.

There are two ways is can blink. In bind mode, it will blink rapidly. As Skarn said, it will also blink slowly (like one blink per second) if the RX has lost power for some reason. To expand on that a littleit's a feature to let you know if you've had a brown-out (RX dropped below 3.5v) in the air. If you're RX lights are blinking slowly, turn off RX and TX, wait a couple seconds, then power back up normally (TX first, then RX) and the lights should come on solid.
