Safety Advisory Notice for Lithium-Polymer (LIPO) Batteries
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 it
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:
1. Do not disassemble or reassemble the battery.
2. Do not short-circuit the battery.
3. Do not use or charge near sources of heat.
4. Do not put the battery in contact with water or any kind of liquid.
5. Do not charge batteries under sunlight or near fire.
6. Do not puncture or subject the battery to force of any kind.
7. Do not throw or manhandle the battery.
8. Never charge a battery that has been damaged, become deformed or swelled.
9. Do not solder on or near the battery.
10. Do not overcharge or over discharge the battery.
11. Do not reverse charge or reverse the battery polarities.
12. Do not connect the battery to a car charger/cigarette lighter or any kind of unconventional
power source.
13. This battery is prohibited for non-designated devices.
14. Do not touch any kind of liquid waste or byproduct from batteries. If skin or clothes come in
contact with these substances, please flush with water!
15. Do not mix other types of batteries with lithium batteries.
16. Do not exceed the specified charging time.
17. Do not place the battery in a microwave or in areas of high pressure.
18. Do not expose the battery to the sun.
19. Do not use in environments with high static electricity (64V and above).
20. Do not use or charge in temperatures below 0 ℃and above 45 ℃.
21. If a newly purchased battery is used, leaking, possesses a bad smell or other abnormalities,
return immediately to the vendor.
22. Keep away from the reach of children.
23. Use a dedicated battery charger and follow all charging requirements.
24. Minors who use the battery and its dedicated unit must be supervised by an adult at all times.
● If you do not plan to fly the quad for a long time, store the battery ~50% charged to
maintain battery performance and life.
● Please use Hubsan chargers for battery charging.
● Discharge the battery at 5C current or below. To avoid discharge related battery damage,
do not prolong the discharge time.
● Do not charge on carpet to avoid fire.
● Batteries need to be recharged if unused for over 3 months.

1.2 The aircraft battery
The H216A aircraft is paired with a rechargeable 7.6v, 750mAh Li-Po. Be sure to use the provid-
ed Hubsan dedicated charger for charging. Fully charge the battery before flight.
1. Installation: Push the battery into its compartment with its lines facing away from the unit
(shown in the below figure). Connect it to the drone's power line (correctly match the polarities)
and coil the power line into the compartment.

1.3 Installing and Removing the propellers
The X4 aircraft uses 5.3-inch propellers. Each is marked with either an A or a B. Please replace
damaged propellers. Before installing the propellers for the first time, please check whether the
propeller and motor arm read "A" or "B”. The two letters should match.
06
Make sure the battery is fully charged before each flight.
Please do not leave unattended while charging.
When charging is complete, disconnect the charger and battery from power immediately.

4.2 Compass calibration
The compass must be calibrated every time the aircraft is powered on. The compass is
susceptible to interference by other electronic equipment, magnetic interference and metal,
which can lead to erratic behavior and loss of control. Regular calibration helps keep the
compass and its readings accurate.
4.3 Takeoff/Landing
Takeoff
a) Simultaneously pull the virtual joysticks diagonally down-out to arm the motors (as shown in the
below figure). Slowly push the throttle stick up; the aircraft will ascend and takeoff.
b) Auto Takeoff: First, confirm that take-off
conditions are safe and clear. Tap the Auto Takeoff
icon; the aircraft will automatically takeoff and
hover at a height of ~2 meters from the ground.
Note that the Auto Takeoff key will turn into an Auto
Land key after the aircraft begins to fly.
12
Arming the motors Pushing the throttle for ascent (Mode 2/American hand)
(1) Enter the X-Hubsan flight interface. Follow
the APP’s on-screen instructions.
(2) Complete Calibrate Compass 1 and 2.
Once both steps are completed, the calibration
window will disappear.

Landing
a) Manual landing (with the virtual joysticks): Slowly push down the throttle stick until the copter has
completed its descent to the ground. Disarm the motors by simultaneously pulling both sticks
diagonally down-out. When the motors have completely stopped, release the joysticks.
b) Auto Land: Tap the Auto Land icon and the aircraft will slowly descend to the ground. (Figure 1)
Return to Home: Tap the Return to Home icon and select whether you would like the aircraft to
return to its takeoff point, or to the mobile device's current position. (Figure 2)

Pushing the throttle down and descending
(Mode 2, American hand)
Disarming motors
Before taking off, make sure that there are no obstructions in the flight route or
environment. Be sure to choose a flat, open area when landing.
To ensure safe flight, do not use your mobile device for other purposes or pair your
unit with another mobile device during operation. If you wish to use another device
to fly the aircraft, please power the unit off before re-initiating a new pairing.

4.4 Transmitter mode settings
Enter the X-Hubsan home interface and tap the Settings cog, followed by the Controller tab. You
may then adjust joystick settings.
4.5 Horizontal Calibration
If during takeoff or flight the aircraft drifts, lifts off unevenly, perform a horizontal calibration. Tap
the Settings cog, followed by "Other". Select "Horizontal Calibration" and allow the aircraft to
calibrate itself. Calibration is complete when all 4 LED indicators stop flashing. It is recommended
that users wait for 15-20 seconds after the calibration is completed before flying again.
4.6 Headless mode
Tap the compass icon to activate Headless mode.
The aircraft will set the direction its head is
pointing at the time of activation as the default
"forward" direction in Headless mode.

While motors are completely disarmed, tap the Flight mode icon and select the Waypoint mode
icon. You can custom set each Waypoint altitude, travel speed and other parameters before
uploading your Waypoint mission. After takeoff, the aircraft will fly its specified route.
4.8 Follow Me
Tap Flight mode icon and select Follow Me. The aircraft will now follow the mobile device.
4.9 Orbit mode
Tap the Flight mode icon and select Orbit/Circle fly. The aircraft will fly in a circle around the
mobile device. Orbit is only usable when the aircraft is at least 3 meters away from the mobile
device.

5 Flying with the remote control/transmitter
It is recommended that users implement some kind of flight training (i.e using a simulator for
flight practice, seeking professional guidance, etc.) before flying the aircraft. Please select an
appropriate environment for flight.
5.1 Flight environment requirements
(1) Select an open environment devoid of high rise buildings and tall obstructions (such as trees
and poles). Near buildings and obstacles, flight control signals and GPS signals can be severely
weakened; GPS functions such as GPS mode and Return to Home may not function properly.
(2) Do not fly in bad weather conditions (such as in wind, rain or fog).
(3) Fly the drone in ambient temperatures of 0-40 ℃.
(4) When flying, please stay away from obstructions, crowds, high voltage lines, trees, water, etc.
(5) To avoid remote control signals interference, do not fly in electromagnetic environments (such
as venues with radio stations, power plants and towers).
16
Waypoint mode Following mode Orbit mode VR mode
Please begin flight only when you have 6 or more GPS satellites. Waypoint/Return to
Home/Orbiting/Follow Me modes are then accessible. Note: GPS cannot be accessed
indoors.
