Re: Does your RC do this?

I saw x-mas lights, too, associated with low power. (The OI draws more than one would think!) It was last year's controller running v10 of the firmware.

If you continue to hold the button longer, the controller will go into “Master Download State”. This is same as the reset and program button combo that is documented on the IFI web site. The Christmas tree = diagnostics mode.
Cool! Can we do anything with it besides downloading firmware?

On a similar note, you can actually start up the RC without a 12v battery. (This also comes with IFI.) Take a regular 9v battery (the little boxy ones) and touch it to the main power contacts (with the back-up plugged in). The RC will start up and stay on much longer than normal (5+ minutes vs. 15 seconds). This means that you can run it without 15lbs of electrical stuff to tote.
