main frame, defective electronic equipment, and/or problematic radio system will lead to unforeseen accidents such as
bodily injury or property damage. The pilot MUST pay attention to the flight safety and UNDERSTAND his responsibility
for accidents caused by his carelessness.

2.1 Far away from obstacles and people

An Aircraft in flight has risk of uncertain flight speed and direction which is potentially dangerous. When flying, please

 keep your Aircraft far away from people, high buildings, high-tension lines, etc.

2.2 Proper operation and maintenance

Please use FPVfactory original spare parts to upgrade, modify or maintain your Aircraft in order to ensure its safety.
Please operate your Aircraft within the range of functions permitted. It is forbidden to use it outside of the safety laws
or regulations.

2.3 Avoid flying alone

At the beginning of learning about radio-controlled flight, there are some difficulties to overcome. Please avoid flying
alone. Invited experienced pilots to guide you (two of the most effective methods to practice are via a PC flight
simulator and/or under the supervision of a skilled pilot).

2.4 Safe operation

Please fly your Aircraft according to your physical status and flight skills. Fatigue, listlessness and miss-operation will
increase the possibilities of accidental hazard.

2.5 Away from highly sinning parts

Please keep pilot, people and object away from the spinning blades.

2.6 Protect from heat

An Aircraft is made from metal, fiber, plastic and electronic components etc. Please keep away from heat in order to
avoid distortion, even damage, caused by high temperatures.

3. Attention before flight

3.1 Ensure the battery packs of both transmitter and receiver are fully charged (saturated).
3.2Ensure both the throttle stick and the throttle trim of your transmitter stay at the lowest positions before operation.
3.3Please strictly obey the order of turn-on and turn-off before operation. When starting your flight, please turn on
your transmitter first, and connect the power cable of your Aircraft last. When finishing your flight, please disconnect
the power cable of your Aircraft first, and turn off your transmitter.
3.4 An upset in the order of connection may cause your Aircraft to lose control. Please cultivate a correct habit of
turn-on and turn-off.

 6. Propeller installation
6.1Look at the direction of the propellers and insure
they are installed correctly.

6.2 There is “1238R” mark in the propeller,

means this is a clockwise propeller. There is “1238”
mark in the propeller, means this is a anti-clockwise
propeller.

6.3 To insure proper fit of the propellor on the motor,

use one of the included black bushings.

(Two tips: 1. propeller side with letter of “1238R or 1238” is on the top; 2. The Wind generated by propeller goes
down to ground). Use the red anodized nutto attach the propeller to the motor.
(Note: A small open end wrench has been included to tighten the propeller nut.)

7. UBEC connection
UBEC is a small electronic module for providing power
to the receiver and fly control system. It needs a free
channel from RC receiver.

If you use DJI flight control unit or other type of flight

control unit with power module, then you don’t need to
install this UBEC.

8. Connect the indication board to battery

There are 4 super bright REDs on the arms of Mariner.
The RED ones on the front, while GREEN ones on the
rear. The LED help to indicate important functions the
Mariner no matter in day time or in night time. It also
provides a battery status alerts by flashing when the
LiPo battery is low.
The LED board has a 7-pin connector (GND, B1, B2, B3,
B4, B5, B6). The LED boardcan detect the voltage up to
a 6-cell, (6S), battery. Make sure the Black GND line of
battery connects to the GND pin of the LED board.
