- Page 13 2.3.3 Calibrating the 3-axis gimbal After both the H906A and aircraft have properly paired, please check the gimbal’s status and condition. If the gimbal is not horizontally aligned, please calibrate it with the steps listed below. Calibration steps: 1. After completing gimbal and camera installation, disconnect the gimbal’s transmission line from the gimbal.
- Page 14 3 The Propellers The X4 aircraft uses 9-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.
- Page 15 ● Please use genuine Hubsan propellers to ensure optimum flight performance. 3.4 Installing the Propeller Guards It is recommended that beginners use the Hubsan X4 Pro propeller guards for flight safety while flying. Spare guards are accessories that must be bought separately from the Pro.

- Page 20 5.6 Antennas To keep video transmission clear and avoid interference, make sure the H906A’s 5.8Ghz antenna logo faces the aircraft. During flight, the antenna and its signal path must be unobstructed to maximize the video and control range. Bend the antenna so that its logo is as directly pointed towards the aircraft as possible. Failure to keep the antenna’s logo unobstructed and pointing towards the aircraft may lead to poor video transmission.
- Page 21 (4) To avoid remote control signal interference, do not fly in complex electromagnetic environments (such as venues with radio stations, power plants and towers). (5) The Hubsan X4 Pro cannot be used in or near the Arctic circle or Antarctica. (6) Do not fly in restricted areas or no-fly zones.
- Page 22 6 Aircraft Calibrations 6.1 Compass Calibration Every time the aircraft is powered on, its compass will automatically test for deviations in the local magnetic field. If deviations are detected, the aircraft will automatically enter compass calibration mode. The remote control screen will first read "Calib compass 1" and the LEDs should be red, flashing clockwise. Slowly rotate the aircraft on the horizontal plane until the aircraft LEDs change color.
- Page 23 6.2 Horizontal calibration (also known as Gyro calibration) Horizontal calibration is required when the quadcopter drifts on the horizontal plane during flight. When this happens, land the aircraft and disarm its motors. Place the aircraft on a completely flat surface and then follow the below calibration procedure. Hold the left stick to the right side of its socket.
- Page 24 7 Arming/Disarming the Motors Arming/starting motors ① Simultaneously pull the transmitter joysticks diagonally down-out to arm the motors (as shown in the side figure). Disarming/stopping motors ① Pull the throttle joystick all the way down until the copter has completed its descent to the ground. Simultaneously pull the transmitter joysticks diagonally down-out to disarm the motors (as shown in the side figure).
- Page 25 The elevator controls the aircraft’s forward and backward movement. Push the joystick forward and the aircraft will tilt and fly forward. Pull the joystick back and the aircraft will tilt and fly backwards. When the joystick is centered (unmoving), the aircraft will hold its altitude in the air.
- Page 26 9 Advanced performance set up ①Reverse channel setup If you would like to reverse any of the stick functions, please follow the instructions below. Be aware that this will reverse the control commands. Pull the throttle stick down to the lowest position and long press the ‘Enter’ key to open the ‘Main Menu’ interface.

Mode 1: Push the left stick to the upper left corner and the right stick to the upper right corner. Power the transmitter on while holding both sticks in their respective positions;...
- Page 30 3. Uneven takeoff/unstable takeoff or flight (1) Please keep the aircraft on a completely flat and stable surface after connecting it to power. Allow it to sit still for at least 10 seconds before taking off (as to allow the gyro sensor to properly initialize). (2) Place the aircraft on a completely flat and stable surface.
