IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS For LI-ION / POLYMER BATTERIES You should read these safety instructions and warnings before using or charging your battery. Never disassemble the viewer or try to remove the battery. While generally safe, Lithium-Polymer batteries are volatile. Failure to read and follow the below instructions may result in fire, personal injury and damage to property if charged or used improperly. Lithium-Polymer battery may explode and cause fire if misused or defective. When charging the battery, please place it on a fire resistant surface. Do not leave the viewer on a wood surface or on paper, carpet, or grass. Do not leave the unit unattended while it is charging. If at any time you witness the viewer starting to swell up, emit smoke or feel hot, discontinue charging process immediately, disconnect the viewer and observe it in a safe place for approximately 15 minutes. The battery may be leaking, and the reaction with air may cause the chemicals to ignite, resulting in fire. In the unlikely event of this occurring, please contact us via the EyeSpy website www.eyespytoys.com or call our Customer Assistance Line at 1866 469 9686. Never store or charge the viewer inside your car in extremely warm temperatures (105F or 41C), since extreme temperature could ignite a fire. Never drop the viewer, as this may cause a battery to leak. 2. YOUR FIRST FLIGHT HOW TO USE Read these instructions carefully before actually starting your helicopter for the first time. ALWAYS ENSURE THAT THE EAGLE SPY IS RESTING FLAT ON ITS LANDING SKIDS BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO FLY. FAILIURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE NEVER ATTEMT TO FLY THE EAGLE SPY WITH DAMAGED ROTOR BLADES. ROTOR BLADES AND MAY CAUSE INJURY. Flying a helicopter requires practice. It is advised to master basic control before attempting to use the Viewer cam. 1 3 2 5 Controller:
4 1. Attatch the Contollers antenna and fully extend. 2. The power ON/OFF switch is the sliding switch located above the trim control. Leave it in the OFF position (set to the left). DO NOT SET THIS SWITCH TO THE ON POSITION YET!
3. The large control number on the left is the throttle control. Moving the knob forward increases motor power enabling the helicopter to take off. Moving the knob back reduces motor power to make the helicop-
ter come down. 4. The large knob on the right is used to change the helicopters direction of flight by changing the angle of the blades. Forward motion will tilt the blades so that the helicopter will move forward. Pushing the knob back will reverse the direction of the helicopter. Pushing to the right or left will cause the helicopter to move right or left. 5. The trim control is the small knob located in the center, near the bottom of the front of the controller. Set it about midway between its full left and full-right positions. Your first flight should be in an open area, free of obstructions. Observers should be a minimum of 15 feet (4.6 metres) from the helicopter. Do not try to operate your helicopter in breezy conditions. WARNING! Your helicopter has rapidly rotating blades that can cause injury!
Ensure that the power switch on the Controller is turned OFF. The helicopter should not be attached to the charger. Connect the two red connectors under the helicopter together. Slide the helicopters power switch to the ON position. Position yourself at a safe distance from the helicopter. Slide the power switch on the controller to the ON position. The red LED on the controller will begin to flash. Instructions for the use of the viewer, are on page 5. NOTE: Do not let your helicopter fly too high or too far away. A good guide is to not let your helicopter fly more than about 100 feet (30 metres) away from you. If your helicopter flies out of range, the blades will stop and it will drop to the ground possibly causing it to be damaged. The duration of your flight will depend upon the condition and charge level of your battery and the speed maintained during flight. Never aim the camera at a very strong light source such as the sun, a nearby floodlight or car headlight or a powerful flashlight. This may destroy the camera and screen. If this occurs, you should return the unit to us for repair or replacement at your expense. Hover Up and Down Move the throttle control completely forward and back twice. Stop this action with the knob in the full-back position. This will synchronize the controller and the helicopter. When the two are synchronized the red LED will glow steadily. Slowly move the throttle forward. The blades will rotate. Continue moving the throttle forward until the helicopter begins to lift off the ground. Reduce the blade speed slowly by moving the throttle slowly backward. Your helicopter should make a smooth touchdown. Turn Left and Right To control the direction of the Eagle Spys flight, use the knob on the right hand side of the controller to navigate left, right, forward and back. If the tail of the helicopter begins to swing left or right you should slowly turn the trim knob until the helicopter stays pointing straight ahead. Slowly advance the throttle to make the helicopter climb higher. Use the right-hand control knob to change direction. With practice you should be able to hover by using this control knob.
