About
ANAFI Ai
Always transport ANAFI Ai safely stored in its case and always replace its gimbal protection
before storing it in its case.
ANAFI Ai was designed and optimized to fly as is. Parrot therefore strongly discourages the
use of any add-on or accessory which could be mounted on, or attached to ANAFI Ai (feet
extensions, buoys, hulls, etc.). In addition to the overweight they carry for the drone and its
motors, they can indeed magnetically disturb ANAFI Ai and impair its communications.
About the ecosystem
ANAFI Ai
In the following pages, the word "ecosystem" refers to the drone (ANAFI Ai), its controller
(Skycontroller 4) and the FreeFlight 7 flying app.

About power lines and pylons

Flying close to power installations may impact the behavior of the drone. Always keep your
distances from power installations such as power lines and pylons. Higher powers carry
higher disturbance potential. In any case, never fly closer than 3 m (9 ft) from a power
installation.

About Wi-Fi

Parrot asks you to switch off your smartphone's Wi-Fi connection when flying ANAFI Ai
with both the Parrot Skycontroller 4 and your phone: with this configuration, the drone and
the controller communicate through ANAFI Ai's Wi-Fi network and activating your phone's
Wi-Fi can only result in interferences.

About GPS

ANAFI Ai does not need a satellite – GPS, Glonass, Galileo – synchronization (or fix) to take
off. It can therefore be piloted indoor and through cluttered areas, stabilized by its onboard
sensors.
However, automated and assisted flight modes require both ANAFI Ai and the FreeFlight 7
device synchronization to geocoordinate satellites – the Parrot Skycontroller 4 alone has no
geo-positioning capacity.
For this reason, Parrot recommends ANAFI Ai pilots to always set up, start and finish their
automated and assisted flights from wide open areas, as a sports field.

About 4K video formats

4K video formats are professional grade media which may not be read natively by slower
computers. Shoot in 1080p or use a video converter to turn your ANAFI Ai's 4K videos into
a more manageable format (like 1080p) if they do not read properly on your equipment.

About audio recording

ANAFI Ai is equipped with a microphone, which enables it to record videos with sound. The
drone's microphone can be activated or deactivated through the Audio item of the Quick
settings menu of FreeFlight 7 – refer to the "SETTINGS/Quick" section of this guide for
additional information on this menu.

About the smart batteries

As you will find out by reading this guide, the batteries of both ANAFI Ai and the Parrot
Skycontroller 4 are smart enough to enter a wintering mode when you are not using them for
ten days in a row. This also means you need to wake them up and charge them completely
before you fly ANAFI Ai for the first time.
