Hubsan FPV X4 Desire

2016.03

Please read the instruction manual carefully!

V1.0

OPERATION:

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.

3. QUAD COPTER BATTERY

3.1 INTRODUCTION

The quad copter battery is a rechargeable Li-Po battery with 610mAh capacity and 7.4V voltage.

The battery should only be charged with the HUBSAN charger to avoid overcharge.

3.2 INSTALL THE BATTERY

Push the battery into the battery compartment correctly

and connect the battery plugs with the correct polarity.

Close the battery compartment cover.

3.3 CHARGING

Connect the battery to the USB charger, then connect the

USB charger to USB devices,

such as a computer or mobile power charger.

It takes around 120 minutes to fully charge the battery with

460~495mA current. The USB LED indicator blink slowly in

red when charging and will remain lighted when the battery

is fully charged. Please unplug the charger and battery

when the charging is completed.

Please make sure the battery is fully charged before first time use.

7.4V 610mAh 10C

2. QUAD COPTER MOTOR LED INDICATOR

Indicator Status:

Front LED: is blue; Back LED: is red.

1. Power on: 4 LED indicators blink simultaneously every 1.5 seconds.

2. Compass Calibration:

1). Horizontal calibration: 4 LED indicators blink circularly.

2). Vertical calibration: 4 LED indicators blink alternately.

3. GPS Flight: 4 LED indicators remain lighted.

4. GPS Return : 2 front LED remain lighted, and 2 back LED blink twice every second.

5. Headless Flight: 2 front LED blink twice every second, and 2 back LED remain lighted.

6. Photo: 2 front LED remain lighted, 2 back LED blink once.

7. Video: 2 front LED remain lighted, 2 back LED blink alternately.

8. LED indicators can be turned off when taking pictures and videos.

Please fully charge the batteries to avoid loss of control due to low voltage.

Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type.

Dispose of used batteries according to the local regulations.

4. PROPELLERS

Match the “I” mark on propellers to the “D” gap on

motor shafts when assembling, as figure 1 shows.

Attach the propellers to the corresponding motors that

are marked A and B,tighten the propellers and keep the

motors deadlocked with the screw-driver.

“I” Mark

“D”Gap

● Hazardous moving parts keep fingers and other body part away.

● Make sure that the A and B propellers are installed correctly. The X4 will not fly if

propellers are improperly installed.

5.1 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.

5.3 ARM/ DISARM THE MOTORS

Arm the motors

Method : 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 motors

Method : 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.

5.2 BINDING

The binding is completed in factory.

For re-binding, press Photo button and power on the transmitter until “Bind to Plane” displayed,

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.

6.5 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.

COMPASS CALIBRATION PROCEDURES

Please follow the calibrating procedures before the first flight.

1.) Hold the Throttle Stick fully down, flick the GPS switch quickly until the transmitter displays

"Calib compass 1"

2.) Rotate the X4 horizontally clock-wise until the LCD screen displays " Calib compass 2"

3.) Put the X4 nose down and rotate it vertically counter clock-wise until the " Calib compass 2"

on screen disappears.

4.) Calibration done.

8. COMPASS CALIBRATION

Do not calibrate the compass in a strong magnetic field

Do not carry ferromagnetic materials with you while calibrating the compass,

such as keys, cell phones, etc.

Compass calibration is required before the first time flight, otherwise the system may not work

properly. The compass is very sensitive to electromagnetic interference which can cause

abnormal compass data and lead to poor flight performance or even flight failure. Regular

calibration enables the compass is in optimum performance.

The transmitter will automatically find the best frequency to ensure a live video with good

quality of transmission. Please re-select the frequency from 5730MHZ to 5845MHZ to get a

better video transmission when necessary.

Pull the throttle stick to the lowest position and press the Elevator stick for 1.5 second to enter

into the MAIN MENU interface. Push the Elevator stick up/down to select “5.8G Frequency”,

push the stick to the right to enter into the “ 5.8G frequency” interface, select a matched

frequency.

Mode 2: Push both sticks to the upper left corner and power on the transmitter

simultaneously,rotate both sticks in circles twice, then press any trim for 1.5 seconds until the

LED on the transmitter turns solid green which indicates a successful calibration.

Mode 1: Push the left stick to the upper left corner and the right stick to the upper right corner

and power on the transmitter simultaneously, rotate both sticks in circles twice, then press any

trim for 1.5 seconds until the LED on the transmitter turns solid green which indicates a

successful calibration.
