SAFETY NOTES
CAUTION
• R/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.
LIPO BATTERY RECHARGING
• Your 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.

BATTERY CHARGING PRECAUTIONS AND GUIDELINES
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:
• 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.
PREVENT MOISTURE
• R/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.
PROPER OPERATION
• For the safety purpose, please only use hubsan’s spare parts for replacement.
ALWAYS BE AWARE OF THE ROTATING BLADES
• When in operation, the main and tail rotor blades will be spinning at high speed. The blades are capable of
inicting serious body injury and damage to the environment.

5
• 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.
AVOID FLYING ALONE
• Beginners should avoid ying alone whilst learning ight skills. It is advised that an experienced pilot be in
nearby guidance.
SAFETY CHECK BEFORE FLYING
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. Broken or premature failure of parts will result in a dangerous
situation.
• Check the battery and power plug are securely fastened. Vibration and violent ight may lead the plug to
loose and result in loss of control.
• When turning on the unit, please follow the power on/o procedure: for Power ON- please turn on the
transmitter rst, and then turn on the receiver. For Power OFF- please turn o the receiver rst and then turn
o the transmitter. Improper procedure may cause loss of control of the quadcopter.

START TO FLY
Power-On (Failsafe) Procedure
Your X4’s ight contoller is coded with a Power-On failsafe.
This is designed to ensure that the X4’s motor will not start unless it detects a suitable radio-control signal when
the LiPo battery is connected.
The correct Start-Up sequence is as follows:
1. Make sure the throttle stick is in the full down position.
2. Power on the transmitter and the red LED will be blinking. Please do not move any other stick or trim before
the TX and X4 match code and bind, or the X4 will drift. The TX LED will turn green when the TX binds with
the X4.

www.pilotage-rc.ru
10
TIP: You do not need to adjust the rudder trim if the X4 keeps yawing left or right during ight. The X4 will nd
the rudder central point automatically in 3 seconds after the quadcopter lands with throttle full down on a level
ground.

TRANSMITTER STICKS AND X4 CONTROL
RESPONSES
CAUTION: To avoid loss of control: ALWAYS move the TX sticks S-L-O-W-L-Y! Be aware that control inputs will
reduce available lift . Be ready to use a little extra throttle to maintain height during maneuvers.
Rudder (Collective Torque Yaw) rotates your quadcopter’s fuselage Left / Right.
Elevator (Cyclic Pitch) moves your quadcopter Forwards/Backwards.
Throttle (Collective Power) increases/decreases the Flying Height of your quadcopter.

SENSITIVITY SETUP
The nano X4 can perform in 3 stages: low–middle–high.
Press in the elevator stick for 1 second to enter the 3 dierent stages:
The LED on the TX on solid green = the X4 in low stage(about 30% sensetivity)
The LED on the TX blink green = the X4 in midddle stage(about 60% sensetivity)
The LED on the TX blink orange = the X4 in high stage(about 100% sensetivity)
Press (a) Elevator Trim /(b) Aileron Trim to change the sensitivity values and then hold down the elevator stick for
1 second to conrm or exit. The X4 will be more sensitive and responsive with the correspondance values.
Aileron (Cyclic Roll) moves your quadcopter‘sideways’Left/Right.

AERIAL FLIP TIPS
The ip maneuver will only work in the the EXPERT MODE when anti-ip is not selected. You need to press the
elevator stick one time to switch into the expert mode. To select anti-ip momentarily press the throttle stick in:
On=one beep. O=two beeps.
Your X4 can do 360° ips by pushing the joysticks as described below. For proper ip execution, make certain
that the X4 is close to level, within a 30° angle with the ground, and add some climb throttle before you move
the pitch and roll sticks.
Push the joystick to the right side and then quickly push the joystick to the left and then release the stick to the
center position after the ip.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Calibrate the accelerometer!
Transmitter stick calibration
Bind the TX and X4,Hold the throttle stick to the full down position
and hold the rudder stick to the lower right position (see the
picture). Then move the aileron stick quickly left-right-left-right
until the two head lights blink. The blinking of the lights signal a
successful recalibration. This calibration will x any drifting o in a
random direction when doing level yaw turns.
P.S. If the X4 still drifts to one side, you can set it on a level surface and shim the side that it drifts to with a
few sheets of paper (the number of sheets will vary depending on the amount of drift), so it can calibrate the
accelerometers with a level oset angle.(See the picture on P19, FAQ12 on the manaul)
Put the two sticks to the upper left position and hold, then power
on the transmitter.
Then rotate both sticks a couple of times in full circles.
