Proof of Purchase
The iFly DUCK HUNTER is a revolutionary new toy
that allows anyone to have the virtual learning experience of
hunting a Duck in complete safety.
The iFly DUCK HUNTER Shooter uses a narrow infra-red beam to shoot down a fully functional, flying “ornithopter” Duck. An ornithopter is a device that flies by flapping its wings. Thus, the ornithopter Duck’s flying pattern is very life-like. The Duck will fly for 30-40 seconds from a 10 second charge. The body of the Duck is made of an ultra-light and flexible foam which provides excellent structure and resistance to damage. Since the flying direction of the Duck can be preset, it is possible to play with the ifly DUCK HUNTER indoors or outdoors. It takes 3 direct hits from the infra-red blaster to bring down the Duck. It is possible to have a competitive game-play with any number of multiple players or to practice solo target shooting accuracy.
A multiple player game-play consists of counting the number of shots fired to bring down the Duck. The person who fires the least amount of shots is the winner.

You can replace the original wings on your iFly DUCK HUNTER if they become damaged. A new set of wings can be purchased by contacting Interactive Toy Concepts listed above. To replace the wings, do the following:
1. Make sure the Duck and the Shooter are turned off.
2. Gently remove the far corner of the wing that is tethered to the body by a ball joint.
3. The leading (front) edge of the wing is a thin carbon fiber rod. Gently pull this rod out of the gear box mechanism housing at the front.
4. Installation of the new wing is the reverse of the wing removal procedure with the following minor difference.
5. The carbon fiber rod has a slight notch cut into its end so that it will only fit properly into gear box mechanism housing one way. Use caution when inserting the carbon fiber rod. If it is not going in smoothly, it is misaligned.
REPLACING iFly DUCK HUNTER MAIN WINGS
1. Open the battery compartment door located at the upper rear of the Shooter by using a Philips screwdriver (not included).
The Duck has a built-in, non-removable, non-replaceable, rechargeable capacitor. The charger is built into the Shooter and requires 3 “AAA” alkaline batteries (sold separately). Use only the supplied charger provided in this iFly DUCK HUNTER package to charge the Duck. DO NOT USE ANY OTHER SOURCE TO CHARGE THE DUCK. Install the batteries as shown.
2. Insert the 3 AAA batteries according to the picture (shown). Ensure that the + and – polarities match the illustrations inside the battery compartment.
Do not fly your Duck during windy conditions or harsh weather. You can operate your iFly DUCK HUNTER toy indoors or outdoors. The outdoor space should be roughly 32’ x 32’ (10m x 10m) with a height allowance of about 19’ (6m). Avoid
operating your iFly DUCK HUNTER near power-lines, trees, or roof-tops. If flying your Duck indoors, the area should be roughly 16’ x 16’ (5m x 5m) and the standard household ceiling height.
3. Replace the battery compartment door and tighten the screw using the screwdriver. Do not over tighten.
1. Turn the Duck’s ON/OFF switch to the OFF position for charging.
2. Turn the Shooter’s ON/OFF switch to the ON position for charging.
3. Lift the charge-rod located at the top front of the Shooter to the up position.
4. Locate the charge hole on the bottom side of the Duck and insert the Shooter’s charge rod completely. The Duck will sit on the Shooter snugly.
5. Press and hold the charge button located in the trigger area of the Shooter for about 10 seconds.
The green LED charge light located near the charge rod on the Shooter will light up during charging.
6. Release the charge button after 10 seconds of charging the Duck. The green LED charge light will turn off. Remove the Duck from the charge rod on the Shooter.
7. The Duck is now ready to fly. The charge is maintained until the ON/OFF switch on the Duck is set to the ON position. This handy feature allows you to fly your Duck when YOU are ready!
8. Leave the Shooter’s ON/OFF switch in the ON position after charging the Duck. Press the charge rod down on the Shooter after charging. In the down position, the charge rod is an integral part of the target sighting system.
The Duck requires 10 seconds of charging time for a flight-time of 30 to 40 seconds. Charging the Duck is a simple process as outlined in the following steps.

CHOOSING YOUR FLYING LOCATION
WARNING! DO NOT CHARGE FOR LONGER THAN 10 SECONDS. DAMAGE MAY OCCUR TO THE CAPACITOR INSIDE THE ifly DUCK HUNTER.
INSTALLING BATTERIES
• If your shot misses the Duck, the Duck will continue to fly in it’s pre-determined path.
• If your shot hits the Duck, it will stop operating for a brief moment and appear to fall. This is meant to
simulate a glancing blow to the Duck. The Duck will resume its flight right away.
• Reload the Shooter and shoot at the duck again.
• When you shoot the Duck directly for the second time, the Duck will appear to temporarily fall again.
Normal flight will resume again momentarily.
• Reload the Shooter and shoot at the Duck again.
• When you shoot the Duck directly for the third time, it will fall from the sky.
Congratulations on your marksmanship!
• If you are unable to hit the Duck three times with the narrow infra-red beam of your Shooter the Duck
will land on the ground naturally.
FLYING AND HUNTING YOUR IFLY DUCK HUNTER

DIRECTIONAL CONTROL TAB
The Duck is ready to fly as soon as it is finished charging. The objective of the iFly DUCK HUNTER game using single or multiple player mode is to shoot down the Duck with the Shooter within its 30 to 40 second flight time window. It takes 3 direct hits to bring down the Duck.
1. When you are ready to fly your fully charged Duck you
should first adjust the “direction of flight” setting to the fly pattern of your choice. This is done by pivoting the directional control tab to the left, center, or to the right. The directional control tab is located at the dorsal (upper) rear end of the Duck’s body and has the two main wings attached to it. By pivoting the directional control tab to the left, the Duck will fly to the left and by pivoting the directional control tab to the right, the Duck will fly to the
right. When the directional control tab is positioned in the
center, the Duck will fly straight. The farther the directional control tab is pivoted towards a certain side, the more the Duck will bank towards that direction during its flight.
2. Move the duck’s ON/OFF
switch to the ON position. The wings will start to flap.
3. Gently toss the Duck into
the air. It will fly for about 30 to 40 seconds.
4. To fire at the Duck, it is necessary to reload the Shooter.
Reloading the Shooter is done by sliding the pump all the way backwards and forwards. A reloading sound is heard if this process is done successfully. Note: it is necessary to reload the Shooter after each shot fired. Once the Shooter is reloaded, you can fire a narrow infra-red beam at the Duck by pressing the trigger button on the Shooter. A firing sound is heard.
5. When Duck has been shot down or has landed on its own,
turn it OFF to recharge it before playing again. Turning the Duck OFF resets the system. It is not necessary to turn the Shooter OFF before recharging the Duck. To recharge the Duck, follow the steps outlined under “Charging the iFly DUCK HUNTER”.
6. If you are finished playing, make sure to turn the ON/OFF
switches on the Duck and on the Shooter the OFF position for storing. It is best to remove the batteries from the Shooter if it will be stored for a longer period of time.
