POWERING UP AND PAIRING (WITH AUTO HOVER 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.

The Sky Viper V2400FPV is a streaming drone with an FPV (First Person View) headset, designed for both beginners and experienced pilots. It offers a range of features for flight, video streaming, and recording, along with user-friendly controls and maintenance options.

Function Description:

The drone allows users to experience flight from a first-person perspective through an FPV headset, streaming live video from the drone's camera to a smart device. It can also record video and take photos, either to the connected smart device or to an optional Micro SD card. The drone features both auto-hover and manual flight modes, with one-touch launch, land, and stunt capabilities. Its responsiveness can be adjusted to match the pilot's skill level.

Important Technical Specifications:

Battery: Rechargeable 3.7V 650mAH LiPo Battery.
Remote Control Batteries: 3 x 1.5V AAA (LR03).
Connectivity: Wi-Fi for streaming to smart devices.
Recording: Supports Micro SD card (sold separately) for direct recording.
Blades: Features green blades for the front and black blades for the rear, with corresponding "A" and "B" markings for correct installation.
Dimensions: The device holder on the remote can accommodate smart devices up to 3-1/8" wide, though larger devices can be used without being attached to the remote.

Usage Features:

Powering Up and Pairing:

Connect battery wires on the drone's bottom.
Place the drone on a flat surface.
Turn on the remote control.
Wait for the flashing green light on the remote to turn solid, indicating a successful connection.

Flying Basics:

Auto Launch/Land: Press the "Auto Launch" button to lift the drone a few feet off the ground. Press the "Auto Land" button to land the drone automatically.
Altitude Control: Use the "Altitude" button to adjust the drone's height by approximately 12 inches per press. Holding the button allows for continuous lift or descent.
Directional Control: The directional thumbstick controls forward, backward, left, and right flight. Pushing further increases speed.
Throttle/Rotation Control: The throttle/rotation stick controls lift (in manual flight) and rotation (clockwise/counter-clockwise).
Manual Flight Mode: Toggle into manual flight by holding the stunt button and pressing the auto land/auto launch button. The throttle stick must be in the down position before take-off. To toggle back to auto-hover from manual flight, press either the up or down altitude locking button.
Flight Sensitivity: A switch on the controller allows adjustment between LOW, MEDIUM, and HIGH sensitivity settings to match pilot skill. It's recommended to start with LOW.

Streaming and Recording Video:

Live Streaming:
1. Plug in the drone battery.
2. Connect your smart device to the drone's Wi-Fi network (e.g., "SKYVIPER_ABC123") using the password "viper".
3. Open the "Sky Viper Video Viewer" app (available on App Store and Google Play).
4. Follow in-app instructions to connect and begin recording video or taking photos.
Recording to Micro SD Card: The drone can record directly to a Micro SD card (sold separately) inserted into the slot on the back of the drone. If a smart device is connected, recording settings can be managed via the app.

Caution: Ensure the drone is at least 6 feet in the air with a minimum 6 feet clearance in all directions before attempting stunts.

Flying Tips:

Face the drone in the same direction at launch (green blades/LEDs in front).
Practice launching, hovering, and landing before other maneuvers.
Fly 2-3 feet above the ground to reduce turbulence.
Move controls slowly until comfortable.
Maintain 2-3 feet distance from walls/ceilings to avoid being drawn towards them.
Throttle down or auto land immediately if blades contact an object or become jammed to prevent damage.
If the drone flies out of control range, it will auto-land.

Maintenance Features:

Charging the Drone:

Disconnect battery wires.
Push down and pull out the battery box from the drone's underside.
Plug the charging cord into a computer or USB power block. A red light indicates charging, and a green light indicates a full charge.
Insert the charged LiPo battery back into the drone and reconnect the battery wires.

Precautions: Allow the battery to cool before charging. Charge in an isolated area, away from excessive heat/moisture. Do not modify, heat, or wet the battery.

Optional Blade Guards:

Blade guards can be installed by inserting their posts into the drone's holes. They are recommended for beginners but add weight and reduce performance, so they should not be used with advanced flight sensitivity (setting 3).

Repairing Damaged Blades:

Unplug the drone battery.
Note the blade's color and letter (A or B) (markings are on the underside of blades and drone).
Remove the small screw with the provided mini screwdriver.
Replace the damaged blade with a new one of matching color and letter, then secure with the retaining screw.

General Maintenance:

Periodically remove loose hair or carpet fibers from blades and motors to prevent reduced performance. Unplug the drone and remove blades if necessary for cleaning.

Trim Adjustments:

If the drone drifts while hovering, use the trim buttons on the remote to correct the drift.
The remote LED flashes 3 times quickly when trim reverts to the middle range.
Trim adjustments are saved until remote batteries are removed.

Adult Supervision Required:

An adult should check the product before each use for damage.
Drone blades move at high speed, posing a risk of injury.
Ensure adequate flying space, away from spectators, animals, streets, power lines, and interior fans/vents.
Never fly at night or out of sight.
Always launch from a flat surface.
Do not leave the drone unattended while turned on.
