ANAFI

FOREWORD
About ANAFI
ANAFI 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 (motor
covers, feet extensions, buoys, hulls, etc.). In addition to the overweight they carry for the
drone and its motors, they can indeed magnetically disturb ANAFI and impair its
communications.
ND filters, however, are not affected by this warning: filters can be used on ANAFI’s lens,
but Parrot recommends installing them carefully, after the drone’s gimbal initialization.
About the Wi-Fi
Parrot asks you to switch off your smartphone’s Wi-Fi connection when flying ANAFI with
both the Parrot Skycontroller 3 and your phone: with this configuration, the drone and the
controller communicate through ANAFI’s Wi-Fi network and activating your phone’s Wi-Fi
can only result in interferences.
Therefore, your phone’s Wi-Fi should only be activated – and connected to ANAFI’s Wi-Fi
network – when you want to fly the drone using your smartphone as its sole controller.
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’s 4K videos into a
more manageable format (like 1080p) if they do not read properly on your equipment. This
is especially true for Parrot’s 4K Cinema format, which can only be handled by professional
editing equipment.
About the smart battery
ANAFI’s smart battery is preinstalled on your drone. Always install it the same way and
never attempt to install it upside down as it could expose your battery and your drone to
irrecoverable electrical damage. As you will find out by reading this guide, ANAFI’s battery is
smart enough to enter a wintering mode when you are not using it for ten days in a row. This
also means you need to wake it up and charge it completely before you fly ANAFI for the
first time.
About auto-RTH (return home)
By design, when synchronized to GPS and Glonass satellites and when short on power,
ANAFI will always attempt to come back to its most recent take-off point, at minimal height
over this take-off point, which is configurable through FreeFlight 6 (between 20 meters and
100 meters) and is set by default at 30 meters.
