Flight Modes The Spry utilizes a brand new ight control system which incorporates 5 of the best ight modes. GPS mode: This mode uses the GPS module to achieve accurate and stabilized hovering, braking, intelligent ight, intelligent return and other intelligent ight mode functions. In this mode, maximum ight speed is 10m/s, maximum ascent speed is 4m/s, and maximum descent speed is 4m/s. Circle mode: The drone moves 10m from its current location and begins to circle with a radius of 10m with the nose always facing the origin. During circling, the right-hand joystick controls the speed and size of the orbit. Push up to increase the radius of the orbit, push down to reduce the radius of the circle (minimum radius 10m), push the joystick left to speed up the orbit or push it right to slow down the orbit. If you continue to reduce the orbit speed, the drone with change the direction of orbit and start to increase the orbit speed. ATTI mode: This is a more advanced ight mode which does not use the GPS positioning function but still maintains altitude stabilization. The drone will drift with any wind when hovering and will not brake when the joysticks are released. Follow Me: The remote controller has an inbuilt GPS module, and the Follow Me mode is based on the relative position of this GPS module to the drone. The maximum Follow Me speed is 10 m/s (36 KM/H). Auto-Return: The aircraft has a one-key return function as well as an auto-return if radio contact with the remote controller is lost. When the remote control and GPS signal are good, the aircraft can be commanded to automatically return to the current remote control position. In the GPS mode, the drone will not arm unless there are sucient satellites to establish the home point. This point is used if the drone cannot establish the location of the remote controller. In ATTI mode, the drones top speed is faster than in GPS mode. When ying in a calm environment, the pilot should allow a minimum of 30 meters for braking distance to ensure ight safety. In Follow Me mode, the joysticks are disabled. Press and hold the Follow Me button again to cancel Follow Me - the Controller Status Light will ash red conrming Follow Me mode has been cancelled and joystick function has been restored. When the speed of the remote controller exceeds 10m/s in Follow Me mode, the Spry will stop following the remote controller and remain hovering in place. If the GPS module in the remote controller does not have an accurate x the Controller Status light will ash red, Follow Me cannot be started. 06 2019 SwellPro All Rights Reserved Return Home The drone has two return home modes - automatic and manual return home. Since the Spry remote controller has a built-in GPS module, the remote controller constantly sends the Spry its location so that the drone can return to the pilot even if they have moved from the take-o point. If the drone loses contact with the remote control for any reason, then the drone will automatically return to the last known location of the remote controller. Manual return home can also be initiated with the remote controller. When returning home, the Spry will wait momentarily and hover 30m above the remote controller to allow the pilot to take control of the landing if necessary. One Key Return Home Function Remote Control Operation Description Return Home Return Process Flare Maneuver Press and hold the Return Home switch for 2 seconds, the system will beep and start the return process. At this point, the aircraft will auto-return to the remote controller . RTH is displayed in the upper right corner of the remote control screen. To cancel the Return Home process, press and hold the Return Home switch for 2 seconds, the system will beep and cancel the return process Description Vertical height > 30metres and horizontal distance > 15metres, the drone will maintain its altitude and return to its home point. Vertical height < 30metres and horizontal distance > 15metres, the drone will ascend up to 20metres, and then return to its home point. If the drone experiences a loss of GPS signal, the Return Home function is temporarily unavailable. The aircraft will hover in place until either control is restored or automatic low-battery landing takes place. During automatic Return Home, when the remote control signal is restored, switch the Flight Mode briey between GPS and ATTI mode to take control of the drone and cancel automatic return. 2019 SwellPro All Rights Reserved 07 Drone Indication Lights The fuselage of the drone includes a pair of Drone Nose Lights and Drone Status Lights on the rear arms.

Introducing you to Flying a Drone If this is your rst time ying a drone, please read this manual thoroughly and watch the instructional videos on our YouTube channel. We recommend taking professional training and guidance. When ying, select an environment appropriate to your skills. It is advisable for all drone pilots to become familiar with ying in ATTI mode in case of GPS or magnetic interference which can interfere with drone controls. Flying the Spry 1. Although the Spry is waterproof, do not y in fog or if the wind is very strong or gusting above Beufort Force 4. 2. Select an open place or water surface as an ideal ying site. Flying between or near large steel buildings could adversely aect the workings of the compass and can adversely aect or block GPS and control signals. 3. During ight, try to maintain line of sight with the drone, keep away from obstacles and people. 4. Do not y near high voltage power lines or communication towers which may interfere with the remote controller of the drone. 5. When ying at altitudes above sea level, environmental factors including air density reduce the performance of aircraft and therefore also propulsion batteries. 6. When the environment temperature is below 15, the drone may not be unlocked. At this time, please power on the drone on the ground for about 5minutes to warm up, then it can be unlocked. 2019 SwellPro All Rights Reserved 14 Flight Restrictions According to provisions of the International Civil Aviation Organization and many national air trac regulations, drones must be operated in specied airspaces.

Push the left joystick up to the highest position and then fast ick the right joystick left and right continuously until INITIALIZING appears on the FPV screen. 2. The drone will now perform further calibration adjustments. Do not move or disturb the drone during this process. When the INITIALIZING message disappears from the FPV display, the process is compete. Power o and restart the drone. Starting / Stopping the Motors Precautions before unlocking the motors:
Place the drone in an open area at least 3 meters away from you or others. When the drone is powered on, the drone will do a self-check. When its done, there will be a DI sound. Keep the drone stationary during initialization. If ATTI mode is selected, there is no need to wait, you can unlock the motors and proceed to takeo and y immediately. We recommend new pilots unlock the motors in GPS mode. The motors cant be unlocked in circle mode. In GPS mode, if the number of satellites is insucient, the remote control will vibrate when unlocking the motors, and will display WARNING NO GPS and the motors will not unlock. Unlocking (starting) the Motors Remote Control Operation OR 18 2019 SwellPro All Rights Reserved Description Pull both the left and right joysticks simultaneously towards either the lower inside or lower outside points. Maintain this position for 3 seconds to unlock the motors. Locking (stopping) the Motorsoperate cautiously Remote Control Operation Description OR Pull both the left and right joysticks simultaneously towards either the lower inside or lower outside points. Maintain this position for 3 seconds to lock the motors. Never lock the motors in ight unless there is an emergency as the drone will crash to the ground and may injure somebody. Alternatively, once the drone has landed smoothly, pull the throttle stick to the lowest position for 5 seconds to stop the motors. In GPS mode, if the number of satellites is insucient, the motors will not unlock and the FPV screen will display a warning message. Motors cannot be unlocked in Circle mode. The motors can be unlocked in ATTI mode even if there is no GPS x and therefore no Home Point recorded. Basic Flight Steps 1. Check that the drone is correctly assembled, propellers are tight and the main hatch is sealed. 2. Power on the remote control, followed by the drone. 3. Place the drone on a at open surface or on the surface of the water. 4. Wait for the FPV screen to display the camera's live video and the OSD ight data. Check that the ight display is normal. 5. Check the following ight data: Battery voltage > 12.5volts, Satellites > 9, Compass indicates the drones current compass direction. 6. For safety, you should stand upwind and to the side of the drone and at least 3 metres distant. 7. Arm the motors in GPS mode. 8. Push the THROTTLE joystick up slowly, allowing the drone to take o smoothly. Release the throttle when the drone is approximatley 1.5m high. Allow the drone to hover for a moment to ensure ight stability. Always use gradual, smooth joystick movements. 10. When you need to descend, slowly pull down the throttle joystick allowing the drone to descend and land on a at surface or on the water. 11. After safely landing, keep the throttle down in its lowest position for at least 5 seconds until the motors have stopped or use the disarm joystick command. 12. Stop recording video before powering o the drone, followed by its remote controller. 2019 SwellPro All Rights Reserved 19 Water Take-os and Landings 1. When taking o from choppy water, ascend quickly from the surface to prevent the drone being aected by a passing wave. 2. When landing on water, descend vertically to the surface. If the drone lands with horizontal speed, it is possible the drone can ip and be inverted. The ight controller will shut down the motors if the drone becomes inverted. Do not leave the drone oating inverted for more than a few minutes. Flip the drone using the Power-Flip command or recover the drone as soon as possible to avoid water entering the drone. Power-Flip If the drone becomes inverted on the surface of the water, using the Power-Flip feature, the drone can be ipped so that it is right-side up. With the drone oating upside-down, arm (unlock) the Spry and it will perform a powerip and right itself on the water. Take-os and Landings from a Boat When taking o from a boat there needs to be sucient space, otherwise the drone should be placed on the water for take-o. Likewise, it is safer and easier to land the Spry on the water beside the boat rather than landing on a rocking boat or where there is insucient space for a safe landing. If the boat is rocking, the Spry may not arm its motors in GPS mode. In this case, carefully take-o in ATTI mode and then switch to GPS mode if there are sucient satellites. For safety, it is not recommended to launch or land your SplashDrone from your hands. Be aware of the direction of the wind relative to the boat. Even when at anchor, it is possible that the wind will not be at the nose of the boat. Always try and take o with the wind so that the drone will be taken away from the boat. When landing the drone onto a boat, if possible land against the wind so that the drone will be held away from the boat. 20 2019 SwellPro All Rights Reserved FLIGHT BATTERY -Safety Guideline Warning:
