Good read for Spektrum users.
Having owned four DX5e and one two DX6i and using both Orange and genuine Spektrum RX, I sometimes noticed the RX would blink when connecting a fresh battery adter the initial first flight of the day. Now I know the answer.

To avoid the blinking RX light, always turn off the TX and allow it to reset before plugging in a fresh battery.
AKA Brown out.
