wARNiNGS AND SAfETy NOTES
SAfE AND LEGAL USE Of yOUR QUADCOPTER
Your quadcopter is not intended for commercial use. It must be used
in a safe and legal manner only. By operating your quadcopter, the
user accepts full responsibility for its safe and legal use. Follow all
privacy laws and property laws when operating your quadcopter, and especially when using a still or video camera.
The camera gimbal included with the quadcopter is to be used for hobbyists and/or amateur video or photography
only. For Safe Operation Guidelines, please visit the Know Before You Fly website at
www.knowbeforeyoufly.org.
PROPELLER SAfETy
Your Mars series quadcopter’s propellers are thin and very sharp. Although they are somewhat flexible to prevent
damage during minor mishaps, they can still be very dangerous.

* When your LiPo battery voltage drops to the low voltage cutoff value during flight, the LED Condition Indicator will
flash red rapidly to indicate you must land immediately. For extra precaution, we suggest using a programmable
LiPo Battery Voltage Alarm that can be mounted with your LiPo battery inside the quadcopter. You are able to
program the alarm to sound at a higher cutoff voltage value to give you more time to safely land before the
battery voltage drops too low and results in a crash.
**Not required for basic flying, but programming is required for best performance.
The propellers must be removed from the motors whenever you calibrate the transmitter control sticks or when
you update the flight controller firmware, or whenever there’s any question about safely operating the quadcopter.
• Do not attempt to fly the quadcopter if one or more of the propellers are damaged. Flying with damaged propellers
is not safe and can make the quadcopter fly uncontrollably. Check the propellers prior to each flight. If a propeller
appears damaged in any way, it should be replaced.
Be very careful not to cut yourself if and when you
unscrew the propellers to replace them.
