yn603 yongnou triggers not faulty

I just got my yn603n triggers through the post but i'm struggling with them.
there are 2 LED's on the left and right at the rear.
when you turn them on the left led turns green and if you press the test button the left led turns red. mounted on the camera when you half press the shutter the right led turns on green and when you press the test button the right led flashes red.
I now have them working I was beginning to think it was the rechargeable batteries which was the problem. So I switched for normal batteries and at the same time changed the dip switches from on off on on to all on. After achieving success with the normal batteries, I switched back to the rechargeable s and the triggers still worked. :)
When the transmitter is awake the receiver right led will turn green and when the test button is pressed on the transmitter then the receiver will
flash red and trigger the flash.
when a flash is installed locally to the transmitter it will only trigger that flash if the camera has woke it, with a half press of the shutter.
It leaves me slightly confused as to the purpose of the left led turning red. Perhaps someone else has worked that one out. It's taken a couple of hours to figure them out perhaps this post maybe useful to others.
The yn603n are the Nikon version which work with my Pentax k200d. The shutter release cable doesn't suit the Pentax but the Canon one does. However I believe the Canon version of the transmitter doesn't work with Pentax, although additional receivers can be Canon or Nikon. This last statement should be taken with a pinch of salt as it is hearsay gathered from the Internet
Including postage the transceivers were just under 24 off ebay (a crucial figure for Ireland as imports over 24 incurs sales tax and processing fee's at Customs).
