1 INTRODUCTION Thank you for buying HUBSAN products. The quadcopter is designed as an easy to use, full featured RC model capable of hovering, fast forward, and aerobatic ight manoeuvres. Please read the manual carefully and follow all instructions in this. Be sure to retain the manual for future reference, routine maintenance, and tuning.1.1 Important Notes This RC quadcopter is not a toy, it utilizes various high-techs to provide superior performance. Please read this manual carefully before operating this product. Any improper use of this product will result in serious injury. Be aware of your personal safety, safety of others and your surrounding environment.We recommend that you obtain the assistance of an experienced pilot before attempting to y our product for the rst time.2.1 CautionR/C quadcopter have parts that move at high speed, thus posing a certain degree of danger. Pilots are responsible for any actions resulting in damage or injury from the improper operation of their R/C aircraft models.Choose a wide open space without obstacles. Do not operate R/C aircraft near buildings, crowds of people, high voltage cables, or trees to ensure the safety of yourself, others and your model.Operate this unit within your ability. Do not y when tired or after drinking or when impaired by medication. Improper operation may cause damage to people and property.2.2 LiPo Battery RechargingYour quadcopter is powered by a Lithium-Polymer (LiPo) battery.Never recharge your battery whilst it is inserted in your model. It can catch re leading to the total destruction of the item.If you do not plan to y your model for a week or more, store the battery approximately 50% charged to maintain battery performance and life. To achieve a 50% charge, y the model until the battery requires recharging. Charge the battery for half the time typically required to fully charge the battery.2 SAFETY NOTES Charge and store LiPo batteries in a location where a battery re or explosion (including smoke hazard) will not endanger life or property.Keep LiPo batteries away from children and animals.Consider how you would deal with a LiPo battery re/explosion as part of your normal home Fire Safety & Evacuation Planning.Never charge the LiPo battery that has ballooned or swelled due to over-/under-charging or from a crash.Never charge the LiPo battery that has been punctured or damaged in a crash (After a crash, inspect the battery pack for the sign of damage. Discard in accordance with your country’s recycling laws.).Never charge the LiPo battery in a moving vehicle.Never over charge the LiPo battery.Never leave the LiPo battery unattended during recharging.Do not charge LiPo batteries near ammable materials or liquids.Ensure that charging leads are connected correctly. Reverse polarity charging can lead to battery damage or a re or explosion. Have a suitable re extinguisher(electrical type) OR a large bucket of dry sand near the charging area . Do not try to extinguish electrical (LiPo) battery res with water.Reduce risks from re/explosion by storing and charging LiPo batteries inside a suitable container: a LiPo Sack or metal/ceramic container is advised.Monitor recharging LiPo batteries for signs of overheating.Protect your LiPo battery from accidental damage during storage and transportation. (Do not put battery packs in pockets or bags where they can short circuit or can come into contact with sharp or metallic objects.).If your LiPo battery is subjected to a shock (such as a helicopter crash) you should place it in a metal container and observe for signs of swelling or heating for at least 30 minutes.Do not attempt to disassemble or modify or repair the LiPo battery.LiPo batteries are dier from conventional batteries in that their chemical contents are encased in a relatively insubstantial foil packaging. This has the advantage of signicantly reducing their weight, but does make them more susceptible to damage if roughly or inappropriately handled. As with all batteries, there is a risk of re or explosion if safety practices are ignored:!THE HUBSAN X42THE HUBSAN X4 1

2.3 Prevent MoistureR/C models are composed of many precision electrical components.Store the battery and model in a dry area at room temperature. Exposure to water or moisture may cause the model to malfunction resulting in loss of responsiveness, or a crash.2.4 Proper OperationFor safety please only use Hubsan’s spare parts for replacement. 2.5 Always Be Aware Of The Rotating PropellersWhen in operation, the propellers will be spinning at high speed. The prop blades are capable of inicting serious body injury and damage to the property. Be cautious of your actions and careful to keep your body and loose clothing away from the blades. Never take your eyes o the model or leave it unattended while it is turned on. Stop operation immediately if the model ies out of your view. Once landed, immediately turn o the model and transmitter.2.6 Avoid Flying AloneBeginners and all First Pilot View(FPV) iers should avoid ying alone when learning ight skills. It is advised that an experienced pilot be in nearby guidance.CAREFULLY INSPECT THE X4 BEFORE EVERY FLIGHT• Before operation, please check the batteries of the transmitter and receiver are charged enough for the ight.• Before turning on the transmitter, please check that the throttle stick is in the full down position.• Carefully check rotor blades and rotor holders.

Learn how to y the X4 and maintain control both indoors and outdoors at an altitude no higher than 10 feet before you advance to FPV ight and higher altitudes. A large part of being successful in FPV is training your ngers and brain to know how the model will respond with your inputs so you can predetermine your stick movements. It is very dierent to look at an LCD or goggles and determine hover, altitude and speed. You will need to visually correlate and remember how the model reacts with stick movements and also the dierences of those movements when in no wind and windy conditions.

When ying indoors or outdoors allow for plenty of free space with no couches, tables, trees buildings or other objects that you might y into. A large area with soft grass is a perfect outdoor area to learn to y. An asphalt parking lot is a terrible place to learn to y. It is recommended that you use a safety spotter for your FPV ights!3. First learn to master hovering, then master ying a square or rectangular pattern by recognizing features that are picked out before you begin your FPV ight.4. The X4 prop guard is excellent to use indoors if required for your personal skill level, but using outside is optional and less desirable in many cases. Most iers will want to remove it in order to gain some ight performance. The reason is that any wind when using the prop guard will make it more dicult to y especially during FPV. Despite the safety feature and protection when using some kind of prop guard, all multi-copters lose ight performance when prop guards are used and will perform much better without them. You should also adjust your rates a bit higher for outdoor ight to something like 70 for pitch and roll. The X4 default expert rate settings will be too high for most new iers and even skilled iers for FPV. So as a suggestion for practice just increase the beginner values to about 70 when you are ready for outdoor FPV ying.
