About General information The Eye Ball R1 is a unique system that provides live video and audio surveillance of indoor and outdoor locations that otherwise can’t be directly observed. The Eye Ball R1 System reduces the danger associated with gathering information in small hazardous and conﬁned spaces, such as buildings, caves, tunnels and alleys.
Page 6 About Remote Viewer Slightly larger than a standard baseball. Can be tossed, rolled, dropped or lowered  into a hazardous location. Rugged construction prevents internal damage from reasonable impact. (Note: The RV is not a breaching tool.) Self-righting. Weighted base turns the RV upright from any orientation (unless there ...

Page 8 Powered by rechargeable battery (up to 3 hours of operation).  Can be operated from charger (connected to 110/220VAC power source) for  continuous surveillance operations. Additional components supplied with the Eye Ball R1 include: Two chargers (110/220VAC auto-sensing wall plug-in type).  PDU cover and shoulder sling. ...

Page 10: Charging
Charging Using a charger IMPORTANT: Use the chargers only within a temperature range of 32°F to 113°F (0°C to 14°C). Tip: The two chargers are identical. They can be used to charge both the PDU and RVs. Before charging: Attach the power cord to the charger. Do not connect the charger ...
Page 11 Charging To charge a Remote Viewer Charging Jack 1. Remove the Pull Pin from the Charging Jack on the rear of the RV. Removing the Pull Pin turns on the RV. The Illumination LEDs will ﬂash brieﬂy. Pull Pin 2. Connect the Charger Plug to the RV’s Charging Jack. 3.
Page 12: Using
Using Five sections in this chapter provide step-by-step instructions for using the Eye Ball R1 System: A. Check operation IMPORTANT: Before using the Eye Ball R1 System for the ﬁrst time, charge the B. Deploy the Remote Viewer PDU and both RVs. Instructions are in the previous chapter.

Page 14 Using 6. Select one RV: press the Standby button once, quickly (each press toggles between the RVs). If you don’t see video from the RV, verify that the RV and PDU are charged.  If there is video interference:  Reorient the video/audio antenna (on the right side of the PDU).
Page 15: Common Problems
When the video image becomes poor, have the helper walk back toward you about 4 yards and stop. This is the maximum reliable operating range for the Eye Ball R1 system under good conditions.

Page 17 Using B. Deploy the Remote Viewer 1. Remove the Remote Viewer (RV) and the Personal Display Unit (PDU) from their carrying case. 2. Turn on the PDU: press and hold the Power button (in the upper left corner) for about 2 seconds. 3.
Page 18 Using 8. Deploy the RV as close as possible to the area of interest. You can: Roll the RV into position.  When deploying the RV to a distant location (about 75 feet), this method often results in the most accurate placement. Hold the RV ﬁrmly as shown in the photo at right, then toss it horizontally toward the destination (similar to throwing a bowling ball) as shown below.
Page 19 Using Note: The RV is not a breaching tool. Note: Do not start rotation while the RV is in motion, as this could damage the rotation mechanism. Wait until the RV is in position to begin rotation. Lower the RV into position. See “Lowering Wire Adapter” on page 20. ...

Reduce RV power consumption Press and hold Standby button (about 3 when video isn’t needed seconds) until Standby indicator is on (places both RVs in Standby Mode).
Page 21 Using E. Complete the mission 1. When the RV deployment area is safe, retrieve all deployed RVs. 2. Switch system to Standby Mode: press and hold (about 3 seconds) the Standby button until the Standby indicator turns on. Charging Jack 3.
Page 22 Using Lowering Wire Adapter Use a lowering wire to perform surveillance from above a scene. 1. Thread the Lowering Wire Adapter into the center hole in the RV’s base. Tighten gently. 2. Securely attach a wire or string to the Adapter. 3.
Page 23: Training
Training Training is essential for rapid and effective use of the Eye Ball R1 System during ﬁeld operations. This section suggests exercises to help users become familiar with Eye Ball procedures, functions and deployment. General system operation Work with the RV nearby so you can see how the PDU’s controls affect the RV: Learn how to set up the PDU hood.
