About Network preference: the “Auto” (default) option lets the drone manage its connections.
Use other options to adapt to your flight conditions: “4G priority” relies on the 4G network as long as it is
available, before switching to Wi-Fi; “Wi-Fi priority” relies on the Wi-Fi connection as long as it is available,
before switching to 4G. Be aware that 4G connection and in flight 4G data sharing may generate a charge,
according to the 4G data plan associated to your nano SIM card.
While flying without 4G connection in dense environments such as cities, we recommend switching to manual
Wi-Fi channel and use UNII3 5GHz band (channel 149 to 161) if it’s available in your country.
About Wi-Fi Password: click on “PASSWORD” to define the Wi-Fi key shared by ANAFI Ai and the Skycontroller
4. Parrot defines a unique random password for each ANAFI Ai and Skycontroller 4 package, but Parrot highly
recommends you define your own password. Your password must be robust: 10 characters long or more and
using at least 3 types of characters among uppercase, lowercase, digits, and special characters. The security
of your ecosystem and data depends on the security of this password.
About Direct connection from PC or smartphone: this option is set on “NO” by default. When you activate it,
it enables additional network protocols on the drone. These protocols benefit from WPA2 authentication and
encryption. Default network protocols used with the Skycontroller 4 are more secure as they implement
additional encryption.
About Direct Remote Identification (DRI): the DRI option ensures, in real time, the local broadcast of
remote pilot (operator registration number) and drone information (such as the serial number) during the
flight. The DRI electronic signal is compliant with both European & American drone regulations.
According to European for open category or American drone regulation, check that the DRI function is
turned ON during in-flight operation. For additional information, consult the regulations in force.

It is your responsibility, as an ANAFI Ai owner, operator, or both, to check your local authorities’
requirements before you fly.
