MARS

QUADCOPTER OPERATOR’S MANUAL

The transmitter features a Low Voltage Alarm. When the transmitter

battery voltage drops below a safe value, the Power/Bind LED will flash and an audible alarm will sound.

When this occurs, land as soon as is safely possible and replace the transmitter batteries with new fresh batteries.

If when you turn the transmitter ON after installing new batteries, the Power LED does not illuminate, first twist

the batteries in the battery holder. If that doesn’t fix it, double-check the polarity of each battery.

PREPARiNG fOR fLiGhT

Follow the information in this section to install the transmitter batteries, install the propellers, install your fully charged

LiPo flight battery, initialize the gyros and flight controller, and calibrate the compass to prepare your Mars series

quadcopter for flight.

Aside from installing the transmitter batteries, each of these steps must be completed in the order described

in this section, unless otherwise noted. Failure to follow these steps correctly and in the order written may result

in your quadcopter not flying as designed or not flying at all.

Do not attempt to fly your quadcopter yet using any other Flight Mode (GPS or Return to Home). In addition,

do not install the camera gimbal or the FPV system (FPV version only) yet. It’s important that you first learn

to setup and fly your new quadcopter using the Manual Flight Mode without worrying about using these more

advanced features.

iNSTALLiNG ThE TRANSMiTTER bATTERiES

1) Remove the battery cover and pull out the battery holder.

2) Install 8 new ‘AA’ alkaline batteries into the battery holder, double-checking

to make sure that the polarity is correct, then reinstall the battery holder

and the battery cover.

Do not mix old and new batteries and do not mix battery types. The transmitter is designed to use Alkaline batteries

only. Using NiCd, NiMH or Lithium batteries will result in an error due to incorrect voltage and the transmitter will

not function properly.

iNSTALLiNG ThE PROPELLERS

1) Being careful not to cross-thread them, carefully thread the propellers onto

the motor shafts and finger tighten them. The two black hub propellers are

reverse thread (turn counter-clockwise to tighten) and the two silver hub

propellers are standard thread (turn clockwise to tighten).

Use the top view photo on the previous page to determine what

motor to install each propeller on, either clockwise rotation or

counter-clockwise rotation.

ChARGiNG yOUR LiPO bATTERy

1) Fully charge your LiPo battery using a LiPo balance charger.

Make sure to follow all precautions included with

both your LiPo battery and your charger to ensure maximum safety.

Your Mars series quadcopter features a male XT60 power connector. If your LiPo battery does not feature a

female XT60 power connector, one is available separately

(P/N 118539)

to solder onto your LiPo battery. In

addition, an XT60 Battery Adapter for Charger

(P/N 118542)

is available separately to charge your LiPo battery.

FIRE wARNING: IMPROPER USE wILL CAUSE FIRE, PROPERTY DAMAGE AND BODILY HARM!

CONSTANT SUPERVISION REQUIRED AT ALL TIMES DURING CHARGING AND USE!

READ ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS INCLUDED wITH YOUR LIPO

BATTERY AND YOUR CHARGER BEFORE USE!

Your Mars series quadcopter features self-locking propellers that only need to be finger-tightened when

installed. When you power up the quadcopter, the propellers will fully tighten and lock in place on their own.
