That isn't correct. Holding the button for 5 seconds will put the Jaguar in calibration mode.
To reset the Jaguar, you need to hold down the button while turning it on. You will see the Jaguar blink red and green as it turns on if you have reset it successfully. I would recommend resetting the Jaguar just in case you accidentally recalibrated it when previously pressing the button.
As stated before, slowly blinking yellow means the Jaguar is not receiving signal. Double check all of your PWM cables and make sure they are in the correct orientation. Look for labeling on your digital sidecar and raised lettering over the SERVO port on the Jaguar:
S: Signal (usually white or orange)
+: Power (usually red)
-: Ground (usually black or brown)
Once the wiring checks out the next thing to check would be the Enabled state of your robot. If the robot isn't enabled by your driver's station (the classmate PC) the cRIO will not send signals to the Jaguars.
