MANUAL
The Flyer has an overheat protection. When the LEDpcb temperature reaches a critical level, a Red indicator
LED lights up on and the Flyer will start to dim the output to prevent overheating. If the temperature keeps
rising and reaches a defined maximum the Flyer turns off but the Red Indicator LED stays on.
The overheating is most likely due to a too high ambient temperature or a wrongly mounted
SnapBag/Flyball that covers the air outlets.
LEDpcb temperature:
80°C / 176°F and above: Flyer OFF, Red indicator LED ON
75°C - 79°C / 167°F - 174,2°F : Flyer in DIM mode, Red indicator LED ON
74°C / 165,2°F and below: Flyer ON, Red indicator LED OFF
INT = Intensity 0-100%

BELTPACK ADJUSTMENT
REMOTE CONTROL
The Beltpack can be used in a number of ways. For maximum flexibility, it’s important to know that the Beltpack consists of
3 elements: 1. Belt+Batteryplate (here shown with battery mounted). 2. Remote Controller (RC) and 3. The RC velcro mount.
Following images show alternative ways to mount the RC, bear in mind that when moving the RC further away from the
Batteryplate than the Batteryplate cable allows, an extension cable is needed.
Default configuration RC + RC Velcro mount detached.

RC + RC Velcro mount - Horizontal orientation
