Proof of Purchase
1. Attach the antenna (provided) to the transmitter.
Note: Always operate the transmitter with the antenna extended.
The iFly VAMP flying bat has a built-in rechargeable battery. Transmitter requires 6 “AA” alkaline batteries (sold separately). Install the batteries as shown.
2. Open the battery compartment on the transmitter using a Phillips screwdriver (not included) to remove the screw on the battery compartment door.
You can operate the iFly VAMP on a calm day outdoor and indoor with a 50 feet x 50 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, avoid wind, rain or other harsh weather conditions.
3. Insert the batteries according to the picture (shown). Ensure that the + and ­polarities match the illustrations inside the battery compartment.
4. Replace the battery compartment door and replace the screw using the screwdriver. Do not overtighten.
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 20-30 minutes and allows approximately 10 minutes of flying time.
Note: During charging, both the POWER LED (RED) and CHARGING LED(GREEN) should light up constantly. If the RED LED starts BLINKING when the Green LED turns on, you should replace the TX batteries.
To charge the iFly VAMP
1. Ensure the transmitter is switched off and lift up the charging adapter on your transmitter (as shown).
2. Ensure the charging adapter is standing upright (as shown).
3. Hold the VAMP firmly by its body, and then insert the adapter 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 transmitter. When charging the VAMP, the GREEN LED indicator light should be ON constantly. When the VAMP has been fully charged, this GREEN LED indicator light will be switched off.
Note: Make sure the iFly VAMP is turned off before you recharge it.
CHARGING THE iFly VAMP
CHOOSING YOUR FLYING LOCATION
INSTALLING BATTERIES
1. Turn the transmitter on by pressing the POWER button. The RED LED button will indicate that it is on.
2. Extend the antenna on the transmitter.
3. Turn the VAMP on by setting the switch at the bottom to ON.
Note: if the controller is off, the iFly VAMP’s eyes will blink
4. On the transmitter, push the left stick upward once for the first time to activate the control, then push the left stick again to activate wings.
5. Check that the wings are flapping, increase the speed or frequency of the wing-flapping motion by pushing the left stick up (throttle control).
6. 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 generate thrust and starting to lift itself.
7. 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 wings to be controlled to change direction (left and right) on inputs received from the right control stick (steering control). Note: Always apply the stick control liberally on throttle and steering input.
LET’S START FLYING THE VAMP
1. To obtain the most stable flight, when launching have full throttle, once the VAMP has attained the desired altitude (8-10 feet), gently pulse the throttle to achieve a wave flight pattern.
2. To gain altitude in a confined area, it is easier to start climbing in a circle than in a straight line. Push the throttle (left stick) and apply the 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 glide once it is in motion. By letting go of the throttle (left stick), the VAMP will glide in a natural flight simulation.
4. Only fly the Vamp outdoors in calm, windless weather conditions.
5. For optimizing your flying experience, you can apply some light weight mylar tape to trim your VAMP to fly straight. If your VAMP always turns to the right side, you should put the tape on the left tip of the wing (as shown) to adjust the center of gravity (CG). Do the reverse if the VAMP always flies to the left.
6. If you like tighter turns you need to slow down – the slower you fly the tighter the turns can be.
4. Replace wings and insert new wings’ rear onto the tethers and insert front rod into the gearbox.
3. Detach the rear wing by lifting it from the tether connector (as shown).
REPLACING WINGS
You can replace the original wings on your VAMP if they become damaged. A new set of wings can be purchased at your retailer or by contacting Interactive Toy Concepts listed on the back of this manual. To replace the wings, do the following:
1. Make sure the transmitter and the VAMP are switched off
2. You can replace the wings by first removing the wings front rod that attaches to the gearbox mechanism (as shown)
TIPS AND TRICKS
NOTE: YOU WILL NEED TO RE-ACTIVATE THE CONTROLS EVERY TIME YOU SWITCH ON THE VAMP
