LiPo Battery Disposal & Recycling
Lithium-Polymer(LiPo) batteries must not be placed in with household trash. Please
contact your environmental or waste agency or the supplier of your model for local
regulations and the location of your nearest LiPo battery recycling center.
1.3 POWER ON/ OFF THE X4 PRO LI-PO BATTERY
(1) Overcharge protection
(2) Over-discharge protection
(3) Short circuit protection
Overcharging will damage the battery, charging will
stop when the battery charge to 12.8V.
Over-discharging will damage the battery. The X4 Pro
will cut off power when the battery power is 8.4V.
Short circuit detection. The X4 Pro will power off to
protect the battery.
Power on: Put the battery into the battery compartment, connect the battery plug with correct
polarity. When the X4 Pro is power on, the blue LEDs on X4 Pro will blink in a rotating pattern.
Power off: Disconnect the battery connector plug to remove power from the X4 Pro. The LEDs
will turn off.
Always partially charge your lipo battery before storage.
1.4 CHECK THE LI-PO BATTERY POWER
After the X4 Pro and the Transmitter finish pairing, the battery power will display on the tablet.
LiPo batteries retain a charge over a long period at about a 50% or 3.85v per cel storage
charge. It is not normally necessary to recharge stored LiPo batteries unless stored for periods
longer than 3-6 months.
If your LiPo battery has been over-discharged, it will not be possible to recharge it again.

ֻӰ೨ሙNjྠిਫ਼ద
BATTERY
Charge and store LiPo batteries in a location where a battery fire or explosion
(including smoke hazard) will not endanger life or property.
Keep LiPo batteries away from children and animals.
Never charge the LiPo battery that has ballooned or swelled .
Never charge the LiPo battery that has been punctured or damaged.
After a crash, inspect the battery pack for the sign of damage. Discard in
accordance with your countrys recycling laws.
Never charge the LiPo battery in a moving vehicle.
Never overcharge the LiPo battery.
Never leave the LiPo battery unattended during recharging.
Do not charge LiPo batteries near flammable materials or liquids.
Ensure that charging leads are connected correctly. Reverse polarity charging can
lead to battery damage or a fire or explosion.
Have a suitable fire extinguisher (electrical type) OR a large bucket of dry sand near
the charging area . Do not try to extinguish electrical (LiPo) battery fires with water.
Reduce risks from fire/explosion by storing and charging LiPo batteries inside a
suitable container.
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 crash), 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 different from conventional batteries in that their chemical contents
are encased in a relatively lightweight foil packaging. This has the advantage of
significantly 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 fire or
explosion if safety practices are ignored:

2 SAFETY NOTES
This X4 Pro is not a toy. Any improper use of this product will result in serious injury. Be aware
of your personal safety, the safety of others and your surrounding environment. We strongly
recommend that beginners learn to fly with proper instruction from more experienced pilots
before attempting to fly the X4 Pro for the first time. It is your responsibility to comply with
your country's remote controlled and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle flight regulations!
2.2 LI-PO BATTERY SAFETY NOTES
The X4 Pro is powered by a lithium-polymer(Li-Po) battery. To avoid risk of fire or damage,
never recharge your battery while it is inserted in the plane. If you do not plan to fly the plane for
a week or more, store the battery approximately 50% charged to maintain battery performance
and life.

3.4 PREPARE THE PARACHUTE
Refer to THE PARACHUTE INSTRUCTION MANUAL
The Hubsan X4 Pro has an optional automatic parachute system. The parachute is self-powered
which means even when the X4 Pro Li-Po battery power is low, the parachute will still work.
There is a sensor inside the parachute system that detects when the X4 Pro goes into an
abnormal attitude and then immediately commands the parachute to open. Potentially the X4
Pro can then land safely and avoid causing damages.
Step 1: Install the bracket:
Take the parachute set from the box, remove the screws from the bracket and open the buckle.
Make sure the direction of the bracket is up as the arrows show. Put the bracket onto the landing
gear until it is positioned in the slot. Tighten the screws to the brackets as the picture shows.
