Instruction manual

NOTICE: There is no warranty on kits. It is your responsibility to install the board and lights. Kits cannot be returned. This kit can
consume a lot of current. Be careful if you plan to use a battery source that is capable of delivering a lot of current. Contact a
professional if you need assistance. Hyperdyne Labs assumes no responsibility for the misuse of this kit. Night flying can be
dangerous. User accepts all liability of using this kit in their plane and the responsibility of flying at night.

To enter this mode, press and hold the X-port button on your radio for 10 seconds. The
plane will respond by blinking all its lights 5 times. Let go of the x-port button. The 5
blinks means the board will no longer accept x-port presses for changing light modes.
You can verify this by pressing the x-port button and seeing that the x-port activity LED
no longer lights up in response to button presses.
Now you can use a drop module, combat module, etc with the light kit. Imagine night
combat with a friend or night drop module contests!!
To unlock the light mode, press the x-port button again for 10 sec. The plane will
respond by blinking all its lights 3 times, telling you that it will now monitor the x-port
button to change light modes. Let go of the x-port button. You can verify the mode is
correct by pressing the x-port button and seeing the x-port activity LED illuminate.
It is not recommended to fly at night with a secondary x-port device and the light kit
unlocked. This can cause you to turn off the LEDs unexpectedly while using the x-port
Tx button. Flying your plane at night without navigation lights is extremely dangerous
and should be avoided.
The lock mode is also remembered by the chip when power is removed. This is also
beneficial if you experience power glitches or other issues during flight. The next time
you connect up a battery, the light board will automatically come up in its last stored light
mode and the saved lock mode.
NOTE: some PZ warbird ZX-10 electronics actually glitch and make the light kit think
the x-port button was pressed when it was not. This is not something that you want to
happen mid flight, as the kit could erroneously turn off the lights while you are flying.
To avoid this you can use the lock mode before flying the plane. By locking in the flight
light mode, any glitches by the stock radio equipment wont cause catastrophic changes to
your flight!
For safety reasons we recommend you lock the light mode before takeoff no matter
type of R/C plane. This gives you maximum protection against radio blackouts,
glitching, etc. The lights will always operate in the mode you set them prior to
takeoff as long as the battery source can deliver the necessary power.
