CHARGING THE DUCK HUNTER

The Duck requires 10 seconds of charging time for a flight-time of up to 30 to 40 seconds. Charging the Duck is a simple process as outlined in the following steps.

CHOOSING YOUR FLYING LOCATION

Do not fly your Duck during windy conditions or harsh weather. You can operate your DUCK HUNTER - LAUNCH & LOAD toy indoors or outdoors. The outdoor space should be roughly 32’ x 32’ (10m x 10m) with a height allowance of about 19’ (6m).

LAUNCHING THE DUCK.

The Duck is capable of being launched from the Infrared Blaster as a means of enhancing the game play and adding excitement to the hunt. It is not possible to launch the Duck by hand or to use any other Duck or Ornithopter from the Hunter Series with the Launch & Load Infrared Blaster. Launching the Duck is a simple process as outlined below.

Please note, the Duck does not have an ON/OFF switch.

WARNING!!! Do not aim or launch the Duck in the direction of anyone or any living thing! In particular, do not aim or launch the Duck in any person’s face!! WARNING!!!

1.1. Once you have fully charged your Duck you should adjust the “direction of flight” setting to the fly pattern of your choice. This is done by pivoting the Directional Control Tab to the left, center, or to the right. The Directional Control Tab is located at the dorsal (upper) rear end of the Duck’s body and has the two main wings attached to it. By pivoting the Directional Control Tab to the left, the Duck will fly to the left and by pivoting the Directional Control Tab to the right, the Duck will fly to the right. When the Directional Control Tab is positioned in the center, the Duck will fly straight. The farther the Directional Control Tab is pivoted towards a certain side, the more the Duck will bank towards that direction during its flight.the directional control tab to the right, the Duck will fly to the right.

DIRECTIONAL CONTROL TAB

Avoid operating your DUCK HUNTER - LAUNCH & LOAD near power-lines, trees, or roof-tops. If flying your Duck indoors, the area should be roughly 16’ x 16’ (5m x 5m) and the standard household ceiling height.

HUNTING YOUR DUCK.

Once the Duck is in the air and flying, it is your objective to shoot it down using the Infrared Blaster within its up to 30 to 40 second flight time window. It takes 3 direct hits to bring down the Duck.

1.Once the Duck is in the air it is fair game to be shot down using the Infrared Blaster.

2.Reload the Infrared Blaster before firing at the Duck by sliding the Reload Pump backwards and forwards. A reloading sound will be heard.

3.Fire a safe infrared beam at the Duck by pressing the Infrared Blaster’s trigger. A shooting sound will be heard.

• If your shot misses the Duck, the Duck will continue to fly in its pre-determined path.

• If your shot hits the Duck, it will stop operating for a brief moment and appear to fall. This is meant to simulate a glancing blow to the Duck. The Duck will resume its flight right away.

4.Keep shooting the Duck with your Infrared Blaster by repeating steps 2 and 3. It is necessary to hit the Duck 3 times directly to bring it down.

Note: it is necessary to reload the Infrared Blaster after each shot fired.
