Today I decided to fly some in the back yard to discharge my batteries after reading is was best to store them at 40~50% charge.
I powered my transmitter on first. It beeped once and there was only a short blink of the power LED and then no light. I thought the AA batteries were low so I replaced them. Same thing. One beep, short flash then no indicator light. I was about to go back inside and tried the startup and low and behold, the Phantom started. I flew it real low just to see if everything was working normally. It seemed so so I was able to run two LiPo's down to 50%.
I connected to the computer and it all looked normal. Still no light on the transmitter. I ran the joystick calibration and when I looked back over at the transmitter, the power light was on! Now it comes on normally.
Is this an indication that it's not calibrated by not having the power light come on?
