Safety Precautions

General

• Read the Operating Manual carefully and keep it for future reference.
  • Make yourself familiar with all the instructions for flight operation.

This model is not a toy!

• This radio controlled model is not a toy. Learning how to control it correctly is a gradual process.
  • Children under 14 years of age should be supervised by an adult.
  If you are not yet proficient with model aircraft, we suggest you approach a more experienced model pilot or a model-making club about making your first flight attempts.
  Flying a radio controlled quadcopter is a fascinating hobby. However, it has to be practised with the necessary caution and respect.

A radio controlled model can cause damage and injury in an uncontrolled flying mode, and the user is liable for any such incident.

As a manufacturer and distributor of the model, we are not responsible for the correct handling and operation of the model.

Make sure that you have sufficient insurance cover when practising your hobby.

Only a well maintained model will function in a correct manner. Only use approved spare parts and never improvise with any unsuitable items.

It is the user's responsibility to ensure that the model is functioning correctly and that all nuts, bolts and screws are properly tightened.

Keep the model well beyond the reach of small children. They may unintentionally activate the model and cause themselves injury with it, or they may put batteries and small parts into their mouths and swallow or choke on them.

Preparations

Never start flying before you have made sure of the following points:

• Pay attention to visible damage on the model, remote control, battery charger, and lithium-polymer battery.

• Ensure that the model is functioning correctly and that all nuts, bolts and screws are properly tightened

• The flight battery must be fully charged, with the correct voltage. Only use fresh new batteries for the transmitter.
  • Always check the radio operation before starting the quadcopter.

Flight operation

The model is primarily conceived for indoor flights since its own slight weight and instable flight position resulting from the construction type make it very susceptible to air movements.

Moreover the components are not dust- and moisture-proof.

Do not fly any longer than one battery charging!

Afterwards the motors must cool down for at least 5 minutes.

Then recharge the battery. Avoid low discharge in any case.

ATTENTION!!! The pilot must maintain visual contact with the model plane at all times. The model must not be controlled by watching the

transmitter screen because the pilot will be unable to keep it in view should there be any radio interference with the video transmission.

It is best to fly only in closed rooms

• With a free space of at least 3 m in all directions
• On a smooth foundation
- Without standing (furniture) or moving obstacles (persons, animals)
• In rooms without air draught

If you want to fly outdoors, do this

• Only when there is no wind

Do not fly

• If you are overtired or your reactivity is impaired in any way.
• At wind-force 1 or greater.
- Keep your model away from high voltage cables or radio masts. Never use the model when lightning is present. Atmospheric disturbances can affect the signals of your remote controlling transmitter.
- Choose a sufficiently open & large area; it should be free of obstacles, as buildings, furniture, people and animals.
- Keep away from roads, highways, people and animals.

Propeller

• Damaged propellers must be exchanged! Refrain from attempts at repair!
• Keep away from the propellers, as soon as the battery is connected.

- Avoid presence in the plane of rotation of the propellers.

Do not operate the model while seated, so that you can rapidly get out of the hazardous area if necessary.

Employ exclusively the enclosed battery charger.

• Operate the battery charger only on fire resistant surfaces and
• Also place the battery on a non-inflammable surface while charging.

• Ensure for sufficient ventilation of the battery charger while charging.

• Never leave the battery charger unattended during the charging process.

• Never mix fully charged batteries and batteries which have already run low, or batteries of a different capacity at the same time.
• When charging the batteries pay attention to the correct polarity.

Never subject the battery charger, the batteries and the model to adverse local conditions!

These are for instance:

• Wetness, too high air humidity (> 75% rel., condensing). Do not touch the battery charger with wet hands.
• Never operate the battery charger right after it has been brought from cold into warm surroundings. The resulting condensation water can destroy the device. Permit the device to attain the ambient temperature while unconnected.
  • Dust and inflammable gases, vapours or solvents, benzene
• Too high ambient temperatures (> about +40°C), direct solar radiation
• Open fire, ignition sources
  • Mechanical stresses such as shocks, vibrations
  • Strong contamination
• Strong electromagnetic fields (motors or transformers) or electrostatic fields (charges)
• Transmitters (radio telephones, transmitters for model building etc.). The transmitter radiation can lead to the malfunction of the charging operation or to the destruction of the battery charger and thereby also of the batteries.

Permit the battery charger to cool down between charging operations. Disconnect the battery charger from the power when the charging operation is finished.

A defective battery charger may no longer be employed. If it is assumed that the device is defective, i.e. if

• The device shows visible damage,
• The device no longer works and
• After longer storage under unfavourable conditions or
• After severe transportation stress, then it should be made inoperative without delay and secured against unintentional operation.

Dispose of the unusable (irreparable) battery charger according to the prevailing statutory regulations.

For safety and registration reasons (CE), the arbitrary reconstruction and/or modification of the battery charger is not permitted.

Lithium-Polymer battery

Employ the enclosed battery exclusively for this model.

Only employ an original part as a replacement battery.

• Do not overload or exhaustively discharge the battery! Both can cause that electrolyte leaks out and lead to self-ignition.
• Never mix fully charged batteries with half-charged ones or batteries with different capacity.
• Charge the LiPo battery at least every two months in order to avoid low discharging.
• Remove the charged battery from the battery charger in order to avoid self-discharging.

At the end of its useful life, under various national/state and local laws, it may be illegal to dispose of this battery into the municipal waste stream. Check with your local solid waste officials for details in your area for recycling options or proper disposal.

The batteries must not

• Be immersed in liquid,
- Be thrown in the fire or subjected to high temperatures or
• Mechanical stresses or
• Be taken apart or damaged
• Or be short-circuited.

If during operation or while charging or storing the battery you perceive a noticeable smell, a discolouration, excessive heating or deformation or any other abnormality:

• Disconnect the battery from the battery charger
  • Separate the battery from the consumer
  • No longer employ the battery..

If electrolyte drains out:

• Avoid contact with eyes and skin!
• Wash the affected locations immediately with clear water and
• Consult a physician.

Advice

• Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be recharged.
- Rechargeable batteries are only to be charged under adult supervision.
- Batteries are to be inserted with the correct polarity.

• The supply terminals are not to be short-circuited.

Ready for lift-off!

Your quadcopter is an easy model to fly but you will will not become an expert flyer without taking the time to learn the basic functions.

As the saying goes:

There are old pilots and bold pilots...

...but there are no old, bold pilots!

In other words, if you do not want to reckon with your first flights ending in a heap of scrap, requiring expensive repairs to your new

model – take the time to follow this short training programme. Learning to fly it is already part of the fun!

MAKING THE QUADCOPTER CLEAR FOR TAKEOFF (FAILSAFE)

Your quadcopter is equipped with a 4-in-1 Gyro receiver, which includes a failsafe mechanism that becomes active after power-up. This is there so that the motors do not start until a corresponding radio signal is received after the LiPo rechargeable battery has been connected.

The cyclic roll joystick causes your quadcopter to fly to the left/right.

Caution:

The controls will appear to be reversed when the model is flying towards you! For example, the cyclic roll joystick causes your quadcopter to fly to the right/left (instead of left/right).

Trimming the control channels

The control channels can be adjusted with the trim buttons if the model tends to drift in any particular direction. For each direction of flight, there is a corresponding trim button.

If, with the controls in a neutral position, the X4 drifts forwards or backwards, this can be trimmed out with the fore/aft trim button.

If, with the controls in a neutral position, the X4 drifts to the left or the right, this can be trimmed out with the left/right trim button.

Diagram showing a drone with control panel and directional arrows indicating rotation (no text or symbols)

If, with the controls in a neutral position, the X4 tends to rotate to the left or the right, this can be trimmed out with the left/right rotate trim button.

Change control mode - Modes 1 and 2

The control mode on the transmitter can be changed. You can switch between Mode 1 and Mode 2. Push the trim slider to the right to switch on the transmitter. You will hear a signal indicating the change of mode.

Mode 1: Turn function to right control lever

Mode 2: Turn function to left control lever

Special function explanation

1. Low power warning

When the four indicator lights on the bottom of the quadcopter start to flicker, the battery is running out of charge. You should guide the copter down immediately to avoid crash landing.

2. Re-calibrating the gyro

After a hard landing or crash you can recalibrate the gyro. To do so, place the copter on a completely flat surface. Then push the left and right levers of the transmitter to the bottom right hand corner for about 2-3 seconds until the LEDs stop flashing, as shown in the illustration on the right. The copter is ready to fly again.

3. Acrobatic Flight (Flips and Loops)

When you are familiar with the basic operation, you can do some awesome and exciting tricks and stunts! First of all, fly the aircraft to a height of more than 3 meters, press the stunt button switch on the rear right hand side of the transmitter, then push the right control lever (in any direction) to perform a 360 degree flip.

Throw launch

Experienced pilots can launch a quadcopter the cool way! Throw your copter into the air, making sure that you've got sufficient clearance (approx. 3-5m) and pushing the throttle gently up. It will automatically level out and hover smoothly in the sky. Throw launching is best done on a large lawn or field.

Special function explanation

Headless - Function

The Headless-function allows simplified control of a quadcopter, in which all control commands as use the reference point the location of the pilot. Here, it is no longer necessary, the position and orientation of the model taken into account. A feature which may be a bit confusing for experienced pilots, beginners, however, it facilitates control significantly.

1. Forward definition

Turn on power switch of remote control. After aircraft connects with power supply, place the switch in "ON" position, adjust the direction pointed by aircraft's handpiece and regard it as the dead ahead in headless situation.

Push the accelerator's push rod of remote control to the highest point and pull back to the lowest point. When remote control pops, it indicates that frequency modulation and forward definition have already finished.

2. Switch to headless function and general function

1. After frequency modulation, the aircraft defaults to general pattern. The indicator light on aircraft is long bright state. After pressing down headless function switch on the top left of master remote controller for 2 seconds, remote control will give out "DDD...", it means that it enters into headless state. After pressing for 2 seconds and hearing long "D", it means that it exits headless state.(In headless mode, four indicators on the aircraft flicker slowly for once within four seconds)

1. In headless state, the operator has no need to recognize the position of aircraft's headpiece, and he just needs to control the aircraft in accordance with the direction of remote control's operating rod.

3. Correcting forward direction

1. After aircraft crashes in headless state, if there is deviation in head direction, it just needs to adjust the aircraft's direction again, pull remote control's accelerator and operating rod to bottom left simultaneously. When indicator light on the aircraft flickers for slow three seconds, it means that correction is done.

Trouble Shooting

Problem Correction
Transmitter and X4 will not bind	Throttle position needs to be fully minimized. Please do not move the transmitter sticks or trims during initial power-on binding.
Transmitter LED light came on and then suddenly went o	Replace new AA batteries
Gyro not working well Battery voltage too low
	Re-bind
Unable to Flip Lipo power is too low and needs to be recharged
Can not take o	Wrong installation of the props. Props are marked with "A"(CW) and "B"(CCW). Please check the pictures below for the correct order.
	Wrong installation of motors. Please check to make sure that each motor is installed in its correct position. There are two dierent types of motors with dierent motor wire colors. Please check the pictures below for the correct order.
One or more motors stop working Motor is damaged. Replace the motor.
		The motor connections(s) are disconnected. Resolder.
The X4 is still drifting excessively when hovering even after a good accelerometer calibration	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 oset angle
