POWERING UP AND PAIRING (WITH ALTITUDE ON)

TOGGLE INTO MANUAL FLIGHT WHILE IN AUTO-HOVER

• Hold stunt button and press auto land/auto launch button

and a tone will sound from the remote. Make sure your

throttle stick is in the down position.

• After the tone is heard, move the throttle stick up until

the drone starts to rise. (If throttle is not matched in

5 seconds then manual flight will be cancelled.)

TOGGLE INTO AUTO HOVER WHILE IN MANUAL FLIGHT

• Press either the up or down altitude locking button to

toggle back into auto hover. (Your drone will hover at the

current throttle speed.)

TOGGLE INTO MANUAL FLIGHT BEFORE TAKE-OFF

• Hold stunt button and press auto land/auto launch button

and a tone will sound from the remote. Make sure your

throttle stick is in the down position.

• Push the throttle stick up to begin manual flight.

• When launching the drone, face the same

direction as the drone. Green blades and green

LEDs should be in front.

• If your drone drifts in any direction when you are

hovering, you will need to make Trim

adjustments to correct the driving. Trim

adjustments are sometimes needed when the

drone is first flown after purchase. See TRIM

ADJUSTMENTS section for details.

• Practice launching, hovering and landing before

attempting to learn other moves.

• Flying 2 to 3 feet above the ground will reduce

ground turbulence and make flying easier.

• When first attempting to fly in different

directions, start by tapping the direction stick

until you have a feel for it. Always move controls

slowly until you become comfortable operating

the drone.

• Once you’ve mastered flying in directions,

practice rotational controls. Spinning and

keeping drone facing the same direction as you

makes flying easier and more intuitive.

• Stay 2 to 3 feet away from walls and ceilings

as drone will be drawn towards them if you fly

too close.

• If propeller blades come in contact with

another object or you crash, throttle down or

auto land immediately to prevent possible or

further damage.

• If anything prevents drone’s blades from

spinning or they become jammed, throttle

down or auto land immediately. Do not attempt

to fly until obstruction has been removed and

damage fixed.

• Should something prevent drone’s blades from

spinning, drone may auto shutdown. LiPo

battery will need to be unplugged then

reconnected to restore flying power.

• If the drone flies too far away, beyond the

control range of the remote, the drone will

auto-land to prevent the drone from flying away

out of control.

This document describes the Sky Viper Streaming Video Drone, a device designed for both recreational flying and capturing aerial video and photos.

Function Description:

The Sky Viper Streaming Video Drone is a remote-controlled quadcopter capable of streaming live video and recording footage to a smart device or a Micro SD card (sold separately). It offers various flight modes and features, including one-touch stunts like barrel rolls and flips, auto launch, auto hover, and altitude hold. The drone is designed for both beginner and experienced pilots, with adjustable flight sensitivity settings. It can be controlled via a dedicated remote control, which also features a mount for a smart device to view live video feeds.

Important Technical Specifications:

Battery: Rechargeable 3.7V 650mAH LiPo Battery for the drone; 3 x 1.5V AAA (LR03) batteries for the remote control.
Charging: The drone's LiPo battery is charged via a USB charging cable, connecting to a computer or USB power block. A red light indicates charging, and a green light indicates a full charge.
Connectivity: The drone connects to a smart device via Wi-Fi (e.g., SKYVIPER_ABC123 network) for live streaming and recording.
Video/Photo: Streams and records video and photos. Recording can be directed to a connected smart device or an optional Micro SD card.
Dimensions: Not explicitly stated, but implied to be a compact drone with four rotating blades.
Control Range: Not explicitly stated, but implies a range suitable for recreational outdoor and indoor use.
Included Components: Streaming Video Drone, Screwdriver, Screws, 4 Blade Guards, USB Charging Cable, Rechargeable 3.7V 650mAH LiPo Battery, Remote Control, 4 Replacement Blades, Phone Mount, Alternative Pro Thumbsticks.

Usage Features:

Remote Control: The remote control features two joysticks for throttle/rotation and direction, trim adjustment buttons, auto launch/land button, auto hover button, stunt button, and buttons for photo and video capture.
Smart Device Integration: A device holder on the remote allows for attaching a smart device (up to 3-1/8" wide) to view live video and control recording via the Sky Viper Video Viewer app.
Flight Modes:
- Throttle/Rotation Stick: Controls altitude (push up/down) and rotation (push left/right).
- Direction Stick: Controls forward/backward (push up/down) and left/right (push left/right) movement.
- Auto Launch/Land: One-touch button for automatic takeoff and landing.
- Auto Hover: Automatically maintains altitude.
- Altitude Hold: Keeps the drone at a set altitude.
- One Touch Stunts:
  - Barrel Roll: Initiated by tapping the stunt button while flying forward or reverse.
  - Flip: Initiated by tapping and holding the stunt button while hovering, then quickly tapping the direction stick in the desired flip direction. Requires a minimum clearance of 6 feet in all directions.
Flight Sensitivity: Three settings (Low, Med, High) are available to adjust responsiveness, catering to different skill levels. Setting 3 (High) is not recommended with blade guards.
Trim Adjustments: Buttons on the remote allow for fine-tuning the drone's hover stability if it drifts in any direction. Trim adjustments are saved until remote batteries are removed.
Pre-Flight Checklist: Includes connecting the battery, placing the drone on a flat surface, connecting the remote, and waiting for solid green lights before flight.
Troubleshooting: Provides solutions for common issues like drifting, improper flight, unresponsiveness, and stunt failures.
Adult Supervision: Recommended, especially regarding rotating blades, adequate flying space, avoiding hazards, and proper battery handling.

Maintenance Features:

Battery Charging: The drone's LiPo battery requires careful charging. It should be allowed to cool down after use, charged in an isolated area, and not modified, heated, or wetted.
Remote Battery Replacement: Instructions are provided for replacing the AAA batteries in the remote control using a Phillips screwdriver.
Blade Guard Installation: Optional blade guards can be easily installed by inserting posts into holes on the drone. These are recommended for beginners but may reduce flight performance and are not advised for advanced flight sensitivity setting 3.
Damaged Blade Repair: Instructions detail how to replace damaged blades, including noting the blade color and letter (A or B), removing a small screw, and securing the new blade.
Cleaning: Over time, loose hair or carpet fibers may accumulate in the blades, reducing performance. Instructions advise unplugging the drone and removing fibers from motors (and blades if necessary).
Battery Disposal: LiPo batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly according to local laws and regulations.
General Care: Avoid dropping the drone, keep it dry, and store it properly. Do not mix old and new batteries in the remote.
