If it is flashing red 3 times per second it failed initialization. Connect to your PC via USB converter cable and run the GUI to see what the issue might be.

If it is flashing 5 times per second it means the mode switch on the ST10+ is in Home position. Change to Angle or Smart mode.
 
Hallo Roger,

5-Rotor-Modus auf einem Q500?
Mit welcher Fernbedienung hast du es gekauft?
Klingt wie der ST16 statt wie der "originale" ST10+

Wenn es der ST16 ist, exportieren Sie die vorhandenen Flugmodelle und setzen Sie den ST16 dann für ein neues Setup vollständig zurück.


Hi Roger,

5-rotor mode on a Q500?
What remote did you buy it with?
Sounds like the ST16 instead of the "original" ST10+

If it is the ST16, then export the existing flight models and then completely reset the ST16 for a new setup.
 
See this thread Weird Error message

It is likely that one or more motors have s problem. The GUI will tell you which ones. If the GUI says the motors are good, try doing the ESC assignment in the GUI.
 
Ah ok.
Learned something again
When we first started seeing the ‘5 rotor mode’ error message on the Q500 series it was confusing. Some of our members (your fellow countrymen) that are into programming found the inconsistency comparing the firmwares on the ST10+ and ST16. The code for each is very close, and both were actually variants of the code for the original ST24.
