Questions

Why does the battery lasts only

charging?
Make sure the battery is fully charged. The first charge will take about one hour.
After longer use, you may need to replace the battery. See “replacing the battery”

From what distance can I control
the iLaunch Thunder on my iPod
touch, iPhone, or iPad?

within 30 feet (10 meters).
How long can I use the iLaunch

minutes before each use after that.
