Pre-flight reminders 
Transport & handling 
•  To ensure a proper storage of your ANAFI Ai, always transport it on its hard case, safely positioned, 
with gimbal’s protection on.  
•  Always transport the Parrot Skycontroller 4 safely into its hard case relevant location.  
•  To ensure the safe storage of the battery, be sure to protect it from low/high temperatures exposure 
and try to keep it close to ambient temperatures.  
•  Always handle the ANAFI Ai with care. You should never apply pressure on it and generally avoid 
touching the drone’s camera and gimbal – its most sensitive parts. 
•  Always keep the hard case with the drone/battery in dry places.  
Equipment 
•  Make  sure  you  have  downloaded  the  latest  version  of  FreeFlight  7  and  that  both  your  Parrot 
Skycontroller 4 and your ANAFI Ai have been updated with the latest versions of firmware. 
•  For the ultimate ANAFI Ai experience, make sure you have  the right USB-C to Lightning cable to 
connect your Parrot Skycontroller 4 and your device.  
•  Make sure ANAFI Ai is fitted with a microSD card with enough free memory space.  
•  Make sure all four foldable arms of ANAFI Ai are unfolded.  
•  Make sure its propellers are clean, intact and unobstructed.  
•  Make sure both ANAFI Ai’s and Parrot Skycontroller 4’s batteries are fully charged. 
•  Make sure ANAFI Ai’s battery is securely installed on the drone’s body.  
•  Make sure ANAFI Ai’s gimbal protection has been removed.  
•  Make sure ANAFI Ai’s lenses are clean – if you need to clean them, do it before you power the drone 
on: hold the gimbals between two fingers so that you do not pressure their mechanisms when you 
clean the lens, and gently wipe the lens with a microfiber cloth.  
Regulations  
•  Make sure the use of ANAFI Ai is allowed where you are intending to fly.  
•  Check for potential restrictions regarding the use of Wi-Fi frequencies in the area where you are 
intending to fly. 
Flight conditions

second or 50 km/h.
