02 ©2016 HubsanPlease read the instruction manual carefully!THE HUBSAN X4 CAM BRUSHLESS WITH APPIMPORTANT SAFETY NOTESOPERATION: Flight:Take responsiblity for the safety of yourself and others when flying the X4 !Do not fly the X4 in crowded places. Do not fly in bad weather.Never try to catch the X4 while it is in flight.This model is intended for experienced pilots age 14+.Power off the X4 after flight to prevent the propellers from causing injuries.Always remove the battery after you stop flying to avoid injuries from accidentally powering on the motors.Always take great caution to protect yourself when near the propellers. The flight system will start after powering on regardless of the transmitter signal. The high speed propellers are very dangerous.Power off the X4 after every flight, otherwise the propellers may still rotate and cause injury. Be extremely careful and responsible when using the drone. Small electronic components can be damaged by crashing or by dropping the X4 into water. To avoid further damages, please replace broken parts immediately. 0:08:49 M2 Exit0:08:49MAIN MENUSet ReverseSet Sensitivity5.8G FrequencySet ManualFly When no GPSShow Version ExitM2Fly When NO GPSYESFor safety, the quadcopter is default set to CAN NOT FLY WHEN NO GPS.

06 ©2016 Hubsan6.1 FLIGHT ENVIRONMENT (1) The flying area should be open and without tall buildings or other obstacles; the steel structure within buildings interferes with the compass and the GPS signal.(2) DO NOT fly in bad weather such as strong wind, heavy snow, rain or fog.(3) Keep away from barriers, people, power cables, trees, and other obstructions. (4) Do NOT fly near radio towers or airports.(5) The X4 control system will not work properly at the South or North Pole.(6) DO NOT fly in restricted areas and obey your country's laws and regulations.6. START TO FLYHigh Tension Line RainInterferenceAirport6.3 ARM/ DISARM THE MOTORS Arm the motorsMethod : Pull the left stick to the left lowest corner and the right stick to the right lowest corner as the picture shows. Release both sticks after the motors are armed.Disarm the motorsMethod : Pull the left stick to the left lowest corner and the right stick to the right lowest corner again, and release both sticks after the motors are disarmed. Do not stop the motors during the flight to avoid crashing. Push the sticks lightly. Release the sticks after the motors are armed or disarmed.The binding is completed in factory. For re-binding, press Photo button and power on the transmitter simultaneously until “Bind to Plane” displayed, then power on the drone, and place it very close to the transmitter, the binding will be completed after one “ beep” heard. Should the binding failed, please power off the drone and repeat above steps.6.2 BINDING

The manual will use Mode 2 as an example to illustrate the transmitter’s operation.The throttle stick controls the ascent and descent . Push up the stick and the X4 will ascend.Pull down the stick and the X4 will descend.When the stick is in the center, the X4 will hover and hold its alititude automatically .Move the throttle stick above the center position to take off. (Move the stick gradually to prevent the X4 from ascending too quickly.)UPDOWNForwardBackwardRight Left The Elevator stick moves the X4 forward and backward. Push the stick up the and the X4 will fly forward.Pull the stick down and the X4 will fly backward. When the stick is in the center, the X4 will hold its position. The angle of stick movement corresponds to the angle of tilt and flight speed. The Aileron stick controls left and right flight. Push the stick to the left and the X4 will fly to the left. Push the stick to the right and the X4 will fly to the right. The X4 will keep the current status when the stick is in the center.The angle of stick movement corresponds to the angle of tilt and flight speed. The Rudder stick controls the rotate direction Push the stick to the left and the X4 will rotate counter-clockwisePush the stick to the right and the X4 will rotate clockwise.When the stick is in the center,the X4 will keep the current direction and not rotate.Pushing harder will cause the X4 to rotate faster in the corresponding directions.

The flight control system will control the quad copter to fly back to the home point and land automatically. 7.1 GPS POSITIONING/ HOME POINT SETTING1.) GPS Positioning works ONLY when the GPS signal has no less than 6 satellites.2.) Home Point is recorded when armed the motors with no less than 6 GPS satellites.3.) You should be in an open place to search for the GPS satellites, it’ll take 3 mins to finish the searching, and the GPS signal strength depends on the flying environment. Push up the GPS switch to activate the GPS positioning.Pull down the GPS switch to exit the GPS positioning (only altitude hold will be active).7.

CONDITIONS WHICH ACTIVATE THE FAILSAFE MODE (1) Transmitter is powered off. (2) The flight distance is beyond the range of the transmitter’s signal transmission.(3) The transmitter’s signal was interrupted by some other strong electronic interference. To ensure that the X4 can return safely to its home point when signal is lost, fly the X4 in safe flight area.If the quantity of GPS satellites drops below six for more than 20 seconds while the X4 is returning home, the X4 will descend automatically. The X4 will not avoid obstacles automatically while in failsafe mode. 7.5 FAILSAFE MODE The quad copter will enter into failsafe mode when the connection is lost from the transmitter. The flight control system will control the quad copter to return to the HOME POINT and land automatically. The failsafe mode helps to aviod injuries or damages.
