Does this mean then that when going forwards (or backwards) one talon should be red and the other should be green?

I'm trying to calibrate the talons at the moment but they're simply flashing red (which means failure, according to the document). I'm pressing and holding them while going full throttle forward, going to neutral, and then going full throttle backwards, and then back to neutral. After that, I put them back into neutral. Is that how you guys usually do it?
