Skydio Beacon/Beacon+ - Operator Manual © 2021 Skydio, Inc. All rights reserved.
Overview
Beacon/Beacon+
CAUTION: Skydio Beacon/Beacon+ is not weatherproof. Do not operate in any precipitation, including rain, fog,
snow, or similar environments. Do not rest the Beacon in sand, dirt or on similar terrain where particles can get
trapped in the USB-C port at the bottom.
Thank you for purchasing the Skydio Beacon/Beacon+. The Skydio Beacon unlocks a new level of
robustness by extending communication range and providing accurate user positioning while
also enabling lightweight controllability.
CAUTION: Follow the Skydio Safety and Operating Guide when flying — avoid thin branches, thin wires, and
large glass/reflective panes.
NOTE: If you have not done so, we highly recommend that you perform your first Skydio 2/2+ flights without
the Beacon to complete the Learn to Fly experience. See the Your First Flight section of the Skydio 2 User
Guide for more details.
