USERS MANUAL

VAMP Instruction Manual Item# 44008 Congratulations on the purchase of the iFLY VAMP iFLY VAMP is the world’s smallest radio controlled flying insect in the form of ornithopter (flapping wings). iFLY VAMP also has patented state of the art technology that allows it to fully resembles the true flying behavior of an insect or bird whereby the halteres rotates to achieve stable flight and directional controls. The iFLY VAMP offers digital proportional speed and directional control just like a radio controlled micro airplane except that it propels itself via flapping its wings. The body of the iFLY VAMP is made out of an ultra-light weight and flexible foam which provides structural strength.. The iFLY VAMP measures only 12 inch wing span and 10 inch body (head to tail) and need only one set of wings to propel itself. Opening package and check content 1x iFLY VAMP Flying Insect 1x Transmitter 2x Pair of Spare Wings 1x Detachable Antenna(it has a unique connector)
Batteries The iFLY VAMP flying insect itself has a built-in rechargeable battery and the transmitter requires 6x AA alkaline batteries (sold separately). Install the batteries as follows. Attention: Important battery information. Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries, standard carbon zinc, alkaline or rechargeable of different capacities. Rechargeable batteries are only to be charged under adult supervision Please respect the correct polarity (-) or (+) Do not try to recharge non-rechargeable batteries Do no throw batteries into the fire Replace all batteries of the same type/brand at the same time The supply terminals are not the be short-circuited Remove exhausted batteries from the toy Batteries should be replaced by adults Remove batteries if the toy is not going to be played with for some time The packaging should be kep since it contains important information Rechargeable batteries are to be removed from the transmitter before being charged 1. The antenna for the transmitter will need to be attached to the the transmitter. (Note: always operate the transmitter with an antenna extended) 2. Open the battery compartment on the transmitter using a Phillips screwdriver (not included) to remove the screw on the battery compartment door.
3. Insert the batteries according to the picture (as shown). Ensure that the positive and negative polarities match the illustrations inside the battery compartment. 4. Replace the battery compartment door and replace the screw using the screwdriver. Do not overtighten. Charging the iFLY VAMP
Before flying the iFLY VAMP for the first time (or if you have depleted a charge on the iFLY VAMP) you will need to recharge it. A typical charge takes about 20 minutes and allows around 7 minutes of flying time. Note: if the charge time begins to exceed 25 minutes, you should replace all the batteries in the controller with fresh batteries. To charge the iFLY VAMP 1. On the transmitter, please lift up the charging adapter on your transmitter (as shown) 2. Ensure the charging adapter is standing upright. fom the compartment (as shown) 3. Hold the iFLY VAMP firmly by its body, and then insert the cord
into the socket at the bottom of the VAMP (as shown). Pay close attention to where the adapter should be inserted into the socket of the VAMP 4. Once inserted, you can enabling charging mode by switching on the TX. When charging the VAMP, the LED indicator light (green) should be ON and when the VAMP has been charged, this LED indicator light will be switched off.
. Note: Make sure the iFLY VAMP is turned off before you recharge it. Choosing your flying location You can operate the iFLY VAMP on a calm day outdoor and indoor with a 50x50 feet area with a ceiling height of about 20 ft.. For optimal indoor flying performance, we recommend a minimum area of 16 feet x 16 feet (5 meters x 5 meters). For outdoor flying, try to avoid windy areas and keep the VAMP away from rain or other harsh conditions. To operate the iFLY VAMP: 1. Turn the transmitter on by pressing the POWER button. 2. Extend the antenna on the transmitter to ensure there is 3. Turn the VAMP on by setting the switch on the VAMP to ON. Note: if the controller is off, the iFLY VAMP’s eyes will blink 4. On the transmitter, push the left stick upwards to increase the speed or frequency of the wing-flapping. The left stick(throttle) controls how high and fast the VAMP will fly.
5. Launch the VAMP from your hand with a gentle horizontal toss while pushing the left stick forward slowly. As the VAMP starts to flap its wing, it will have generate some motion to thrust and to lift. 6. On the transmitter, push the right stick (directional) to the left, or push the stick to the right to turn right. The patented technology on VAMP allows the body (alteres) of the insect to roll (left and right) on inputs received from the right control stick. Apply the stick control liberally and turning left and right whilst flying also means it will need space and time to correct its flight path. Tips and Tricks 1. The most stable flight one can obtain is to be easy on the throttle input. Sometimes flying the VAMP requires the user to be only applying small input on the throttle (left stick) and let go of it sometimes. 2. To gain altitude in a confined area, it is easier to start climbing in a circle then in straight line. By pushing the throttle (left stick) and applying right stick to either left or right in order for the VAMP to gain altitude in a small confined area
3. The VAMP can also perform gliding once it is in motion and it is good to sometime let go of the throttle (left stick) in order for it to regain its natural flight composure. Even real birds and insects need stops flapping sometimes and keep gliding and save their energy. 4. Always fly the VAMP in a near calm condition if you want to fly outdoor to avoid any wind that may overpower the VAMP itself. Replacing Wings You can replace the original wings on your VAMP if they become damaged. Two spare set of wings is included in the VAMP package. To replace the wings, do the following: 1. Make sure the transmitter and the iFLY VAMP are turned off 2. You can remove the wings by removing the rubber stoppers placed on the tethers of the VAMP body (as shown) 3. Insert new wings on to the tethers and replaced the stoppers. .
