Modified on: Tue, 8 Jul, 2025 at 1:21 PM


Installing the battery:

  1. Ensure that the battery is fully charged.
  2. Insert the battery into the rear of the Drone in the right direction (the tab on the battery should be facing down).
  3. Slide the battery all the way in, until it securely slots into place 
  4. Press "Lock" to lock the battery in, and "unlock" if you wish to release it


Installing rotor guards:

Installing the rotor guards is optional. However, installing them will protect your rotor blades and motors against bumps and light crashes.

  1. To install the rotor guards, please insert the rotor guard pegs into the designated holes near the motors on the Drone's arms.
  2. To remove the rotor guard, please hold the rotor first, then remove the rotor guard.


Prepare remote control:

  1. Charge the remote control to full battery with the cable provided
  2. The power light on the remote control will turn off once charging is complete.


Settings up the Zero-X FLY app:

  1. Go into you Apple app store or Google play store and search for "Zero-X FLY", and install the app
  2. Connect the app and then go into your smartphone Wi-Fi settings and select your drone's internet connect.
  3. Once connected, open the app.
  4. If successfully paired, you should be able to view live feed and take control of your drone and its camera from your phone.


Pairing your remote control and drone:

  1. Press the ON/OFF button at the top of the Drone to turn it on. The LED light of the Drone will blink a green colour (front) and a red colour (rear).
  2. Turn on the remote control and it will make a beeping sound, and the LED indicator of the remote control will blink in green. 
  3. Move the left control stick to the upside for 1 second and then move the left control stick to the downside for 1 second, the controller will beep, and the LED light of the Drone will stop blinking. The LED will change to a constant green at the front and constant red at the rear. 
  4. Ensure that you have connected your drone to your smartphone via the app in the previous instructions
  5. Place the Drone on a flat surface and hold the left and right control sticks outward and downward (left stick 7 o'clock and right stick 5 o'clock positions) for 3 seconds. The indicator on the Drone will change from a constant light to a rapidly blinking light. 
  6. When the LED light of the Drone remains constant again, this means that the Drone has been calibrated successfully
