There are a few select Wi-Fi Control Devices which are compatible with your Wi-Spi Intruder. It is very likely that other Wi-Fi Control
Devices will be compatible with the Wi-Spi Intruder in the future. For the latest updates on device compatibility, it is recommended to
check the latest information at the following website: www.interactivetoy.com. In addition, it is recommended to download the latest
Wi-Spi Control App update for your specific Wi-Fi Control Device. The Intruder Control App updates may contain information on device
compatibility, troubleshooting tips, new features and replacement part availability.
Wi-Fi Control Device Compatibility:
For Apple iOS based devices: iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPad 1, 2 & iPad(3rd Generation), iPod Touch 4G, with iOS 5.0 or up.
For Android based phone devices: Dual core processor required. Android OS 2.3.5 or up with Multi-touch screen
For Android based tablet devices: Dual core processor required. Android OS 3.2 or up with Multi-touch screen
WI-FI CONTROL DEVICE SPECIFICATIONS:
Regardless of which Wi-Fi Control Device you are using, the basic operation of the Wi-Spi Intruder is the same. Follow these easy
instructions to sync (connect) your Wi-Spi Intruder to your Wi-Fi Control Device.
1. When your Wi-Spi Intruder is charged and ready to sync with your Wi-Fi Control Device, slide the On-Off Switch located at the
bottom of the chassis to the On position. The white headlight LED located in the front of the Wi-Spi Intruder will light up. Wait for
around 20 -25 seconds before proceeding to the next step. This will allow the Wi-Spi Intruder’s Internal Computer to boot up.
IF APPLICABLE, ENABLE YOUR WI-FI CONTROL DEVICE’S AIRPLANE MODE WHENEVER YOU DRIVE THE WI-SPI
INTRUDER. IF AIRPLANE MODE IS NOT ENABLED, INCOMING CALLS ON THE WI-FI CONTROL DEVICE WILL DISRUPT THE
OPERATION OF YOUR WI-SPI INTRUDER AND MAY CAUSE IT TO STOP AND CRASH!!
2. Enable the Wi-Fi connection on your Wi-Fi Control Device.
3. Sync (connect) your Wi-Fi Control Device with the Wi-Spi Intruder by selecting the SSID “intruderXXXXXXX”. The 7 characters
XXXXXXX are an alphanumeric code that represents the unique ID of your Intruder. Allow 3-5 seconds to complete Synchronization.
AN SSID OR “SERVICE SET IDENTIFIER” IS A NAME OR CODE USED TO IDENTIFY A PARTICULAR WIRELESS LAN TO
WHICH A USER WANTS TO SYNC WITH OR CONNECT TO. IT HELPS TO THINK OF YOUR WI-SPI INTRUDER AS IF IT WERE A
WI-FI SIGNAL EMITTER.
4. Launch the Intruder Control App from your Wi-Fi Control Device.
5. When the first screen of the Intruder Control App loads onto the Wi-Fi Control Device, press the “Connect” button on the screen.
The Intruder Control App interface screen will show up on your Wi-Fi Control Device. You are now ready to drive the Wi-Spi Intruder!
IT IS POSSIBLE TO OPERATE UP TO 6 WI-SPI INTRUDERS IN THE SAME GENERAL VICINITY WITHOUT ANY
INTERFERENCE ISSUES. SIMPLY FOLLOW THE ABOVE STEPS TO SYNC EACH WI-SPI INTRUDER WITH ITS INDIVIDUAL WI-FI
CONTROL DEVICE. EACH WI-SPI INTRUDER MUST BE SYNCED INDIVIDUALLY AND ONE AT A TIME. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
SYNC MORE THAN ONE WI-SPI INTRUDER AT A TIME WITH A WI-FI CONTROL DEVICE.
SYNCING THE WI-SPI INTRUDER WITH YOUR WI-FI CONTROL DEVICE:
The Wi-Fi Control Device of your choice will effectively operate your Wi-Spi Intruder with full digital proportional control. Small
adjustments of the control features will produce precise control. There are 2 different Control Modes available for your Wi-Fi Control
Device. These are, Control Pad Mode, and Accelerometer Control Mode. Please note, Accelerometer Control Mode requires more skill
and experience to use. It is intended as an advanced Control Mode. Below is a listing of features common to both Control Modes
followed by a description of the unique features of the 2 Control Modes.
Features common to both Control Modes:
• Trim Control – Allows you to compensate for unwanted left / right turning of the Wi-Spi Intruder from moving straight. If the Wi-Spi
Intruder is slight turning to the left when it move straight, press the trim button on the right side of the trim control range. If the Wi-Spi
Intruder is slight turning to the right when it move straight, press the trim button on the left side of the trim control range.
•Wi-Fi Signal Indicator – The Wi-Spi Intruder emits a Wi-Fi signal to your Wi-Fi Control Device during operation and vice versa. If the
Wi-Spi Intruder encounters interference or goes out of range, you will lose control of the Wi-Spi Intruder. The Wi-Fi signal indicator provides
information on the strength of the Wi-Fi Signal and allows you to avoid areas where the Wi-Fi signal is poor.
•Helicopter Battery Level – This Indicator shows the Wi-Spi Intruder’s internal battery’s level of charge.
•Control Mode Toggle – This toggle allows you to switch between Control Pad Mode and Accelerometer Control Mode.
•Options Button - This button takes you to the camera options screen where you will be able to choose your camera settings. You can
either set your camera to photo or video mode. You can also select the night vision mode.
•Camera Button - Depending on which camera setting you have selected such as photo camera, or video camera, with or without night
vision mode, the camera button will allow you to start and stop filming video, or to take a still photo with the Wi-Spi Intruder’s built-in camera.
This button is active during operation of your Wi-Spi Intruder.
•Album Button - Pressing this button will take you to the Wi-Fi Control Device's Photo / Video Album. The Videos and Photos taken during
the Wi-Spi Intruder's operation will automatically appear here.
•Headlight Button - Pressing this button will turn on the headlight LED of the Wi-Spi Intruder.
GETTING TO KNOW THE INTRUDER CONTROL APP INTERFACE:
Control Pad Mode:
The Control Pad Mode uses the Sliders on the Wi-Fi Control Device’s screen to
control the Wi-Spi Intruder’s direction of run.
It controls forward, reverse, and left to right turning of the Wi-Spi Helicopter.
•Forward/Reverse Slider – Use the left thumb to operate the Forward/Reverse
slider. This will allow you to drive your Wi-Spi Intruder forward / reverse.
•Left/Right Slider – Use the right thumb to operate the Left/Right slider. This will
allow you to turn your Wi-Spi Intruder Left / Right.
Accelerometer Control Mode (For Advanced Users!):
The Accelerometer Control Mode uses the Wi-Fi Control Device’s internal
accelerometer to control the Wi-Spi Intruder’s direction of run. It controls forward,
reverse, and left to right turning of the Wi-Spi Intruder by tilting the Wi-Fi Control
Device in the desired direction of run. Please note, Accelerometer Control Mode
requires more skill and experience to use. It is intended as an advanced Control
Mode
•Accelerometer Control – Tilt the Wi-Fi Control Device in the desired run
direction. This will allow you to turn your Wi-Spi Intruder left to right and also to
run forward or in reverse.
the Wi-Spi Intruder is running towards you, you will naturally experience a phenomenon called “Control Reversal”. Thus steering
inputs to the right will make the Intruder run to your left side. Also, steering inputs to the left will make the Intruder run to your right side.
This can be a bit tricky but it is normal and it just requires patience and practice to master the controls.
