BNF Transmitter Setup

Program your transmitter before attempting to bind or ﬂ y the quadcopter. Transmitter programming values are shown below for the Spektrum DX6i, DX7s, DX6, DX7, DX8, DX9 and DX18.

The ﬁ les for models using Spektrum™ transmitters with AirWare™ software are also available for download online at www.spektrumrc.com.

Your quadcopter is also compatible with Spektrum DXe radios with software version 1.3 or higher. Use the directions below to reverse channel 6, or use the appropriate programming cable and the PC or mobile app to program the DXe. We recommend downloading the Blade® Zeyrok™ DXe model setup available at www.spektrumrc.com.

If you are programming your DXe using the PC or mobile app, make sure the "Transmitter Channels" value is set to the default of 7. If for any reason this value is changed to 9, the Zeyrok will bind to the DXe, but will not respond to control inputs.

If your DXe was included in another Blade Ready To Fly (RTF) helicopter, the transmitter software will have to be updated using the appropriate programming cable and either the PC or mobile app available at www.spektrumrc.com. Please note, the switch conﬁ guration used for DXe transmitters included with the Blade 230 S RTF and Micro AH-64 Apache RTF varies from the standard DXe layout.

After reversing channel 6, bind the transmitter and quadcopter normally.

Flight modes are controlled by the Flight Mode switch.

To use the DXe transmitter with the Zeyrok quadcopter, channel 6 must be reversed.

To reverse channel 6:

1. While powering on the DXe, hold the left and right sticks in the top-inside corners as shown.

2. Re-center the sticks after the transmitter beeps. The LED will ﬂ ash slowly.

3. To select a channel to reverse, move the right stick to the left or right and allow it to re-center. Move the stick to the right to select the next channel. Move the stick to the left to select the previous channel. The LED will ﬂ ash rapidly corresponding to the channel selected, as shown in the table. Select channel 6.

4. To reverse the selected channel, move the right stick up or down. The LED will change color to indicate the new channel direction.

The LED will ﬂ ash Orange to indicate the channel is normal. The LED will ﬂ ash Red to indicate the channel is reversed.

5. To store the changes, power off the DXe.

CAUTION: During the subsequent power up, always verify the throttle direction is correct and keep clear of the motor and rotor blades. Failure to do

so may result in injury or damage to the product.

2. Set the Flight Mode Switch to Stability Mode (FM0).

3. Power ON the transmitter.

4. Slide the battery into the back of the quadcopter, all of the way forward through the battery loop as shown.

5. Connect the power lead to the battery, noting the correct polarity.

CAUTION: Connecting the battery to the control

board with reversed polarity will cause damage to the control board, the battery or both. Damage caused by incorrectly connecting the battery is not covered under warranty.

6. Place the quadcopter upright on a ﬂ at surface and leave it still until the LEDs glow solid white in the front and red in the rear, indicating the quadcopter is ready for ﬂ ight. If the LEDs continuously pulse slowly, no valid transmitter signal has been acquired. Proceed to the Transmitter and Receiver Binding section to bind the quadcopter and transmitter. If the LEDs alternately ﬂ ash front and rear, the battery is below 3.5V. The quadcopter will not allow takeoff. Charge the battery and re-install.

If you experience issues during initialization, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide at the back of the manual.

CAUTION: Always disconnect the Li-Po battery

from the aircraft when not ﬂ ying to avoid overdischarging the battery. Batteries discharged to a voltage lower than the lowest approved voltage may become damaged, resulting in loss of performance and potential ﬁ re when batteries are charged.

Revolutionary SAFE

(Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology uses an innovative combination of multi-axis sensors and software that allows model aircraft to know its position relative to the horizon. This spatial awareness is utilized to create a controlled ﬂ ight envelope the aircraft can use to maintain a safe region of bank and pitch angles so you can ﬂ y more safely. Far beyond stability, this level of protection offers multiple modes so the pilot can choose to develop his or her skills with a greater degree of security and ﬂ ight control that always feels crisp and responsive.

SAFE® technology delivers:

• Flight envelope protection you can enable at the ﬂ ip of a switch.

• Multiple modes let you adapt SAFE® technology to your skill level instantly.

Best of all, sophisticated SAFE® technology doesn’t require any work to enjoy. Every aircraft with SAFE® installed is ready to use and optimized to offer the best possible ﬂ ight experience.

• In Stability Mode (FM0), the bank angle is limited. When the

sticks are released, the quadcopter will return to level ﬂ ight. If the camera is not installed on the quadcopter, the

continuous ﬂ ip feature is available in Stability Mode. To use the continuous ﬂ ip feature, hold the continuous ﬂ ip

button/switch and move the cyclic stick in any direction. The quadcopter will begin ﬂ ipping in the chosen direction when the cyclic stick is moved beyond 85% travel. Release the ﬂ ip button/switch to stop the rotation. Given enough altitude, the quadcopter will self level and the bank angle limits will be active.

If the cyclic stick is held after releasing the ﬂ ip button, the quadcopter will return to upright ﬂ ight in the direction chosen.

NOTICE: When using the continuous ﬂ ip feature, always allow the quadcopter enough altitude to recover.

• In Stagility Mode (FM1), the bank angle is limited up

until 85% stick travel. Beyond 85% stick travel, the bank angle is unlimited to allow for more advanced aerobatics. If the sticks are released, the quadcopter will return to level ﬂ ight.

• In Agility Mode (FM2), the quadcopter has no bank angle

limits, and will not return to level ﬂ ight if the sticks are released. Use rates and expo to tune the performance according to your ﬂ ying style.

Refer to the Transmitter Setup Table for transmitter switch selection and speciﬁ c setup information.

Flight Mode Selection

Camera Controls

Consult your local laws and ordinances before choosing a location to ﬂ y your aircraft. We recommend ﬂ ying your aircraft outside in calm winds or inside a large gymnasium. Always avoid ﬂ ying near houses, trees, wires and buildings. You should also be careful to avoid ﬂ ying in areas where there are many people, such as busy parks, schoolyards or soccer ﬁ elds.

Takeo

Select Stability Mode (FM0). Slowly increase the throttle until the motors start and the quadcopter begins to lift off. Continue raising the throttle until the quadcopter is approximately 2 ft. (600mm) off the ground. Adjust the trims so the model ﬂ ies as desired. Once the trims are adjusted, begin ﬂ ying the model.

Flying the Zeyrok™ Quadcopter

Insert a micro SD card into the slot in the quadcopter until it locks. Make sure the metal contact is facing up and the notch in the card is facing forward as in the illustration. Tweezers or small pliars may be necessary to install and remove the micro SD card.

Power on the transmitter and quadcopter normally.

MLP6 RTF Transmitter users:

To take a still photo, quickly pull and release the camera control switch twice. The rear LEDs on the quadcopter will blink once as the camera takes the photo. To start/stop recording video, pull and hold the camera control switch for approximately 3 seconds. The rear LEDs will begin ﬂ ashing slowly, indicating the camera is recording video. To stop the recording, pull and hold the camera control switch for 3 seconds. The rear LEDs will glow solid once again.

BNF Transmitter users:

Follow the instructions for your transmitter in the

Transmitter Setup section to control the camera.

To retrieve the video and photos from the camera:

Press the micro SD card in and release it to unlock. Pull the card out from the quadcopter. Insert the card in the micro to SD card adapter. The micro SD card can now be read by any SD capable device.

3. Attach the camera control board to the landing gear

using 3 screws.

4. Connect the camera control cable to the quadcopter. The black, negative terminal should go toward the rear of the quadcopter. Attach the landing gear to the quadcopter using 4 screws.

Post-Flight Inspection and Maintenance Checklist

LED Codes

√

Cleaning

Make sure the battery is not installed before cleaning. Remove dust and debris with a soft brush or a dry, lint-free cloth.

Motors Replace the motor when the model will not ﬂ y steady or veers off when doing a climb out. Wiring Make sure the wiring does not block moving parts. Replace damaged wiring and loose connectors.

Fasteners

Make sure there are no loose screws, other fasteners or connectors. Do not over-tighten metal screws in plastic parts. Tighten screws so the parts are mated together, then turn the screw only 1/8th of a turn more. Do not use threadlock on or near plastic parts.

Propellers

Make sure there is no damage to the propellers or other parts that move at high speed. Damage to these parts includes cracks, burrs, chips or scratches. Replace damaged parts before ﬂ ying.

The quadcopter should not need large trim adjustments. If excessive trim is required to sustain a reasonable hover, perform the Drift Calibration.

Making small corrections on the transmitter, try to hold the quadcopter in one spot. If ﬂ ying in calm winds, the model should require almost no corrective inputs. After moving the cyclic stick and returning it to center, the model should level itself. The quadcopter may continue to move due to inertia. Move the cyclic stick in the opposite direction to stop the movement.

Flying

With your quadcopter maintaining a stable low-level hover, practice using the rudder, elevator and aileron controls to familiarize yourself with the machine’s responses to control inputs. Remember to keep the control inputs as minimal as possible. When you are comfortable with basic ﬂ ight, you may explore the different ﬂ ight modes and functions explained in the Flight Mode Selection section of this manual. The different ﬂ ight modes are accessed using the Flight Mode switch on the MLP6 or the controls programmed in the BNF Transmitter Setup section.

Releasing the sticks in either of the Stability Modes will allow the quadcopter to level itself. If you become disoriented, slowly lower the throttle stick to land softly.

Tip: If a greater bank angle is desired in Stability Mode, refer to the Transmitter Setup section and increase the “Travel” values of the rudder, aileron and elevator channels in your transmitter to over 100%.

If for any reason the quadcopter loses the transmitter signal, the quadcopter will enter a “panic” state. The quadcopter will self-level while throttling down for 5 seconds. After 5 seconds, the quadcopter will disarm and power to the motors will be removed.

Typical ﬂ ight time for the included battery is approximately 10 minutes.

Low Voltage Cuto (LVC)

LVC decreases the power to the motors when the battery voltage gets low. The LEDs on the quadcopter will alternately ﬂ ash, front and rear, indicating low battery voltage. Full throttle control is maintained for approximately 5 seconds, after which motor speed is ramped down for the next 5 seconds. When the LEDs indicate low voltage, land immediately.

NOTICE: Crash damage is not covered under warranty. NOTICE: Repeated ﬂ ying to LVC will damage the battery.

LVC does not prevent the battery from over-discharge during storage.

Landing

To land, slowly decrease the throttle while in a low-level hover. After landing, lower the throttle completely to stop the motors. Disconnect and remove the battery from the quadcopter to prevent over discharge. During storage, make sure the battery charge does not fall below 3V per cell.

Dri Calibration

The quadcopter has been calibrated at the factory before shipment, but it is possible that a crash will cause mechanical distortion of the frame, resulting in a slight drift in Stability and Stagility modes. In this situation, please follow the calibration procedure below.

Before beginning the calibration procedure, fully charge the ﬂ ight battery and ensure the quadcopter and transmitter are bound properly, per the binding instructions.

To Calibrate the Zeyrok quadcopter:

1. Power on the transmitter and quadcopter normally.

2. Set the transmitter to ﬂ ight mode 1.

3. Refer to the illustrations at right. Depending on which control layout mode your transmitter uses, move the control sticks to the positions shown and press the camera button until the LEDs on the quadcopter go off. (approximately 5 seconds).

4. Release the sticks and camera button.

5. Do not move the quadcopter.

6. The rear LEDs will glow solid red when the calibration is complete and successful. If the rear LEDs ﬂ ash continuously, the calibration was not successful. Power off the quadcopter and attempt the calibration procedure again.

7. Restart the quadcopter normally.

Mode 2

Mode 1

Replacing the Propellers

Follow the steps below to replace any damaged propellers:

1. Remove the screw at the base of the propeller and pull the propeller straight up.

2. Note the propellers and the quadcopter are marked “A” or “B” to show the proper location for each propeller, as shown in the illustration. Replace the propeller making sure to line up the screw holes in the propeller with the hole in the prop shaft.

3. Replace the screw at the base of the propeller.

Do not use thread lock on the screws. Do not overtighten the screws.
