This section introduces the remote controller functions, including the drone operation and the camera
operation.
Remote Controller
Low Battery Alarm
The Spry remote controller has a built-in battery and charging circuit. Charge the controller using the
supplied micro-USB cable and a regular 5V /2A USB charger. Some USB ports and some USB cables cannot
provide the full 2 amps (2A) of power required. These ports and cables can still be used to charge the Remote
Controller but the charging time will be longer. Normal charging time is ~90 minutes.
During charging, the remote controllers power button will glow blue. When charging is complete the blue
light will turn off. Charging is possible during flight if necessary, but the remote must be connected to the
drone before connecting the charging cable.
The remote control has a built-in lithium battery and the operating time is about 2 hours. When the remote
controller battery is low, the remote control will beep and the battery power icon in the upper right corner
of the screen will be red. The remote control will then have approximately 10 minutes of power left. It is best
to return the drone and land as soon as possible or plug in the controller to charge the battery.
The Spry Remote Controller operates using two frequency bands, 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz. The 2.4GHz band is
used for drone control and 5.8GHz is for the FPV video signal. The remote control has a built-in 4.3-inch FPV
screen that displays real-time images and flight data of the aircraft.

APP Control
How to Use
The Spry remote controller has a built-in WI-FI module that can be used to connect your mobile device and
control the aircraft to perform various intelligent automatic flight modes with the Spry APP.
APP installation: The Spry app is available for iOS and Andoid devices. Android systems can download the
APK from either the Android market or our website www.swellpro.com.
To connect the app to the Spry’s remote controller, power on the remote controller and drone, then connect
your mobile device to the WiFi hotspot called SP_FF1.....
After successfully connecting, open the APP to display realtime data from the drone such as voltage,
coordinates, altitude, distance, GPS signal and other flight parameters.
When ying indoors or in enclosed spaces, the lack of a strong GPS signal will aect the
positioning stability of the aircraft. Do not use the APP to control the aircraft at this time.
If the aircraft is lost due to improper operation or malfunction, you can use the APP to locate the
last coordinates to retrieve the aircraft. The Remote Control must be turned on to use the APP.
