Foreword
About ANAFI USA ANAFI USA was designed and optimized to fly as is. Parrot strongly discourages the use of any add-on or accessory which could be mounted on, or attached to ANAFI USA (feet extensions, buoys, hulls, etc.). Accessories impose extra weight on the drone and its motors. Electronic accessories may also interfere with the drones' communications.
Important: The maximum take-off mass (MTOM) of ANAFI USA is 644 g (1.42 lb). If you equip your drone with an accessory, it can drastically reduce its autonomy.
Warning: Do not alter the center of gravity of the drone.
Always transport ANAFI USA safely stored in its case. Always reposition the gimbal protection before storing the drone in its case.
Wi-Fi Switch off your device's Wi-Fi connection when flying ANAFI USA with both the Skycontroller and your phone or tablet. In this configuration, the drone and the controller communicate through ANAFI USA's Wi-Fi network and activating your device's Wi-Fi results in interference.
Your device's Wi-Fi must only be activated, and connected to ANAFI USA's Wi-Fi network, when you want to fly the drone using your device as the sole controller.
GPS ANAFI USA does not need a satellite GPS, Glonass, Galileo synchronization (or fix) to take off. It can therefore be piloted indoors and through cluttered areas, stabilized by its onboard sensors.
However, automated and assisted flight modes require both ANAFI USA and the FreeFlight 6 USA device (preferably associated with the Skycontroller) synchronization to geocoordinate satellites. The Skycontroller alone has no geo-positioning capacity.
For this reason, Parrot recommends ANAFI USA pilots to always set up, start, and finish their automated and assisted flights from wide open areas, such as a sports field.
WARNING: ANAFI USA flight stability performance may be impacted when you fly at night without a GPS fix. To reduce the possibility of drifts, Parrot recommends that you always wait for GPS synchronization before flying the drone at night. If GPS synchronization is not achieved with the drone on the ground, Parrot recommends that you leave the drone in hover flight until the GPS synchronizes.
If you continue to experience difficulties with flight stability, reduce the following values in the Presets menu:
· Global reactivity · Banked turn · Inclination · Vertical speed · Rotation speed
Refer to the "Preferences / Presets" section of this guide for more information.
4K video formats 4K video formats are professional grade media which may not be read natively by slower computers.

ANAFI USA
Furthermore, for software reasons, the stream broadcast by the Skycontroller is better defined in the 1080p video mode than in 4K (or any photo mode), especially when using zoom. For this reason, Parrot recommends favoring default video settings (1080p, 30 fps) for direct observation.
4K video recording should be reserved for post-mission data exploitation.
The smart battery One smart battery comes preinstalled on the ANAFI USA. If you remove the battery, you must reinstall it in the same orientation. Ensure that you do not install the battery upside down as it could expose the battery and the drone to irreparable electrical damage.
Important: The LEDs and power button face up in the correct orientation
Note: ANAFI USA's battery enters Wintering mode when not in use for ten consecutive days. You must wake the battery up and charge it completely before you fly ANAFI USA for the first time.
HDMI The Skycontroller 4 is equipped with a micro-HDMI port, which enables you to stream ANAFI USA images to a screen or to HDMI goggles. Parrot recommends using a certified micro-HDMI to HDMI cable (not included in the box) to connect external pieces of equipment to the Skycontroller 4. Uncertified cables may impair the ecosystem's Wi-Fi performance.
The packaging of certified HDMI cables displays the following logo:

Auto-RTH (return home)
If the battery charge level becomes low, ANAFI USA attempts to return to its most recent take-off point, at a minimal height over this take-off point. The default minimal height is 30 meters, but you can configure this height to between 20 and 30 meters through FreeFlight 6 USA.

Important: This feature requires synchronization to GPS, Glonass, or Galileo satelites.

Refer to the "Coordinates and advanced RTH settings" and "PREFERENCES / Safety" sections of this guide for further information on RTH.

Devices On this page and the following, the word "device" refers to the smartphone or tablet, either iOS or Android-based, on which FreeFlight 6 USA is installed.

User guide screenshots For clarity and brevity, some screenshots in this guide, illustrating functions common to all the drones of the series, have been taken from earlier ANAFI series user guides.

However, all screenshots associated with specific ANAFI USA functions have been updated.

Wait until the propellers' rotation speed stabilizes, then briefly and rapidly lift ANAFI USA up and forward with your open hand. ANAFI USA becomes airborne. It stabilizes and waits for commands from the pilot.

Only perform a hand launch procedure when there is no other launch alternative.
Caution: In environments with sand, you can use hand launch, instead of ground take-off to prevent sand from penetrating the motors.
Deployment from a moving vehicle Points of attention for the deployment of the drone from a moving vehicle
· Whenever possible, mobilize two operators for the deployment of the drone from a moving vehicle.
· If only one operator is available, favor the Take-off from a moving vehicle procedure. · If required by FreeFlight 6 USA and whenever possible, perform the magnetometer calibration
of the drone far away from any metallic mass. · When preparing a deployment from a ship or an armored vehicle, always keep your powered-
on drone in your hand, away from the floor of the ship or the roof of the vehicle. · The GPS fix is not mandatory to deploy the drone from a moving vehicle, but it is always
recommended. · In the unlikely situation where the drone becomes disoriented after a launch or a take-off from
a moving vehicle (uncontrolled rotation), quickly and firmly take back the commands of the drone in rotation and elevation (left joystick laterally and upward in default mode) to retrieve flight control.
Hand launch from a moving vehicle Parrot recommends mobilizing two operators for this procedure: one operator launches the drone while another operator controls the drone with both joysticks of the Skycontroller.
Warning: Be especially careful when hand launching ANAFI USA from a moving vehicle. It requires complete focus. Do not allow yourself to become distracted and stay aware of your surroundings.
Activate the hand launch option from PREFERENCES > Interface of FreeFlight 6 USA (refer to the "PREFERENCES / Interface" section of this guide for more information).
Press Power to power on ANAFI USA and position the drone in the palm of the operator's hand. On the screen, the green TAKE OFF box has been replaced by a blue HAND LAUNCH box.

Note: The images above show Skycontroller 4, however the controls are identical for Skycontroller 3. You can modify ANAFI USA's controls through the PREFERENCES menu of FreeFlight 6 USA. Refer to the "PREFERENCES / Controls" section of this guide for more information. As a safeguard measure, ANAFI USA is programmed to instantly cut its motors in case of impact on one of its propeller blades: always control your drone carefully. WARNING: ANAFI USA features an EMERGENCY MODE (on Skycontroller 4 only). If you activate EMERGENCY MODE in flight, all motors immediately cut out and instantly forces the drone to crash to the ground. The EMERGENCY MODE meets the regulatory requirement for Specific category flights in French national standard scenarios S1 & S3. The use of this mode is at the user's responsibility. To activate EMERGENCY MODE, press the following buttons on Skycontroller 4 simultaneously:
· RTH · Take-off/Land · Media recording Optimal speeds Refer to the "PREFERENCES / Presets" section of this guide for more information about the settings of the flight behavior of the drone. Among these settings, two precise values enable you to optimize either ANAFI USA's flight time, or the distance it can cover on a single battery. Optimal autonomy (flight time) At full throttle, a 9° inclination angle (pitch) enables ANAF I US A to maintain a 6 m/s horizontal speed. This speed, maintained on a full flight, guarantees the longest autonomy for the drone. Optimal elongation (distance) At full throttle, 22° inclination angle (pitch) enables ANAFI USA, at full throttle, to maintain a 12 m/s horizontal speed. This speed, maintained on a full flight, enables the drone to cover the longest distance, on a single battery. 28

ANAFI USA
Wi-Fi link optimization
ANA FI U SA's ecosystem is designed to optimize, in real time, the Wi-Fi communications between the Skycontroller and the drone. By default, the ecosystem automatically selects the most efficient Wi-Fi channel available. In urban environments, 5 GHz Wi-Fi channels typically suffer less interference than 2.4 GHz channels. Refer to the "PREFERENCES / Network" section of this guide for more information on Wi-Fi channel management and allowing automatic switching to 5 GHz channels. To maintain an optimal Wi-Fi link between the remote control and the drone, remember to keep a clear line of sight between them, and always direct the antennas of the Skycontroller toward ANAFI USA. Several FreeFlight 6 USA alerts enable you to react before a complete loss of Wi-Fi link. If the connection breaks down, ANAFI USA automatically initiates an RTH procedure. By default, the drone flies upward to 30m and starts flying toward its take-off position. In most cases, this behavior enables a very fast recovery of the Wi-Fi link between the remote control and the drone, and pilots regain full control of the flight. Refer to the "Returning home", "Smart RTH", "Coordinates and advanced RTH settings" and "PREFERENCES / Safety" sections of this guide for more information on RTH configuration. Refer to the following table for FreeFlight 6 USA Wi-Fi statuses and the corresponding icons.
The Wi-Fi link is perfect.
The Wi-Fi link is good.
The Wi-Fi link is poor.
The Wi-Fi link is about to lose connection.
Warning: Never fly your drone out of your direct line of sight unless special authorization has been granted.

Returning home
To return ANAFI USA to its take-off position, press RTH on your Skycontroller, or tap the RTH on your screen. ANA FI U SA rises to 30 meters higher than the take-off point height and returns to hover over its takeoff position. Note: The default setting is 30 meters over the take-off point, but you can configure the height to between 20 and 100 meters through FreeFlight 6 USA. Refer to the "PREFERENCES / Safety" section of this guide for more information on RTH configuration. Precise Home Setting When flight conditions are optimal at take-off, ANAFI USA can set a PRECISE HOME with its vertical camera. In that case, a pop-up on the screen of FreeFlight 6 USA confirms a precise home has been set, and the home icon of the minimap turns green.
Android "Precise Home Set" pop-up
Smart RTH ANAFI USA features a Smart RTH capability which considers its altitude and distance from its takeoff point. The drone computes in real time, the battery power it requires to return home, or to the pilot, or to a custom location (refer to the "PREFERENCES / Safety" of this guide for more information). When the battery charge level becomes low, FreeFlight 6 USA alerts you that it will enter Smart RTH mode. If you feel confident you can return ANAFI USA to its take-off point, or if you wish to land it at a different location, you can cancel the Smart RTH directly from the alert pop-up. Managing coordinates ANAFI USA features a fly-by-coordinates function which allows you to instantly display, reuse and share any coordinates in the surroundings of your drone, or the GPS position of your drone itself. This is especially useful to precisely locate any point of interest or person ANAFI USA has detected. This section explains how to access coordinates on the FreeFlight 6 USA app map, in flight or to prepare a flight. By default, coordinates are displayed on the FreeFlight 6 USA app map. They can be set as:
30

ANAFI USA
· latitude and longitude (LATLNG: default value) · MGRS (Military Grid Reference System: NATO's geocoordinate standard) · UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator) · DMS (degree, minute, second of arc)
Refer to the "PREFERENCES / Interface / Coordinates systems" section of this guide for information on selecting a coordinates system.
In the following example, the coordinates system is set as DMS. The drone is offline, and the device is connected to local Wi-Fi.

Advanced RTH settings The custom RTH option relies on managing coordinates, described in the previous section.

Activate advanced RTH settings through the Safety Preferences of FreeFlight 6 USA (refer to the "PREFERENCES / Safety" section of this guide for more information).

There are two advanced RTH options: Pilot, and Custom.

Important: By activating advanced RTH features, the drone might not be able to reach its destination in case of low battery, if you select return to Pilot, or a Custom position. Parrot will not be held responsible in the event that the drone lands in a different location.

Pilot RTH When you select the Pilot advanced RTH option, ANAFI USA returns to the GPS position of the Skycontroller at the exact moment an RTH button is activated, or to the last known coordinates of the controller, in case it has lost GPS synchronization.

For this reason, we recommend ANAFI USA pilots remain in the same location, after they have activated an RTH button, when in Pilot advanced RTH mode.

Custom RTH When you activate the Custom advanced RTH option, set up ANAFI USA for a flight and it has a GPS synchronization, the current position of the drone appears in the "Custom point" field by default.

ANAFI USA
There are two ways to change this custom point.
- Paste the coordinates you copied from the map of FreeFlight 6 USA refer to the earlier section of this guide.
- If you set up your drone for a flight, apply the following simple procedure to move the Home icon directly on the map of FreeFlight 6 USA.

Landing
Fly ANAFI USA directly over a flat, even, and clear surface, then press orange LAND box on the screen of your device.

Take-off/Land, or tap the

The orange LAND box changes to LANDING. ANAFI USA lands.

Precise Landing, Android
Recovery from a moving vehicle Warning: Be especially careful when recovering ANAFI USA from a moving vehicle. It requires complete focus. Do not allow yourself to become distracted and stay aware of your surroundings. Always wear a strong glove to recover ANAFI USA

Parrot recommends mobilizing two operators for this procedure: one operator pilots the drone, the second operator recovers ANAFI USA.

Before performing a drone recovery, reduce and stabilize the vehicle's speed as much as possible.

The pilot must present the rear of ANAFI U SA on the side of the vehicle where the recovery operator is waiting for it.

To do so, the pilot must synchronize the lateral speed of the drone with that of the vehicle, and the altitude of the drone with that of the hand of the recovery operator.

When the drone is within the recovery operator's reach, open hand, palm facing upward, he grabs the battery of the drone, from the bottom, under the drone's arms, between the thumb and the four other fingers.

Performing a quick wrist motion, the recovery operator turns the drone upside-down. ANAFI USA motors cut instantaneously.

Hand landing
A hand landing procedure is more dangerous than a ground landing. Be especially careful with the hand land feature. It requires complete focus. Do not become distracted and stay aware of your surroundings.

Warning: DANGEROUS MANEUVER. RISK OF BODILY INJURY AND DAMAGE TO THE DRONE IN CASE INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT FOLLOWED. LACERATION HAZARD. Do not touch the propeller blades during

flight. Propeller blades can cause deep cuts if your fingers, or other body parts, come into contact with them. Keep the drone as far away from your face as possible. Only attempt a hand landing on a stable surface, with no obstacles in the immediate vicinity. Note: PARROT STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU DO NOT PERFORM A HAND LANDING PROCEDURE INDOORS, DUE TO LOW STABILITY, AND INCREASED RISK. Do not attempt a hand landing in wind strong enough to make the drone fight to hold its hovering position. Drone GPS synchronization is mandatory for a successful hand landing. Let the drone do the work. Do not forcefully grab the drone while it is hovering. Parrot recommends that you work as a team of two people: one person to perform the hand landing procedure, while the other person focuses on flying the drone. This eases the pressure of having to multi-task. Pay attention to the wind direction and speed. Do not face the wind. Keep yourself at a safe distance from the drone considering the possibility of drifting with the wind. Fly ANAFI USA at least 50 cm directly over your open hand then press Take-off/Land or tap the orange LAND box on the screen. ANAFI USA lands on your hand. Only perform a hand landing procedure when there is no other landing alternative. Caution: In environments with sand, you can use hand landing, instead of ground landing to prevent sand from penetrating the motors.

ANAFI USA

Replacing propeller blades
Propeller blades are instrumental for flight integrity, and they are delicate pieces of equipment. Even minor contacts with external elements, such as walls, tree branches, etc., can damage their structure. Damage is not necessarily visible.
Parrot recommends you immediately replace propeller blades if they sustain such a contact.
Note: ANAFI USA propeller blades can be replaced instantly without tools.
To replace a propeller blade:
1. Unfold the arm that supports the blades which require replacement. 2. Hold the motor (round rotating part) of the propeller between your left thumb and index
finger. 3. Unfold the blades and pinch the part which screws onto the motor, between the blades, with
your right thumb and index finger.

A. blades: unscrew used/damaged A blades (Front left & rear right) counterclockwise and
screw new ones clockwise.

B. blades: unscrew used/damaged B blades (Rear left & front right) clockwise and screw
new ones counterclockwise.

Verify that your blades respect the following diagram before setting up ANAFI USA for its next flight.

Smart LiPo Battery
One smart battery comes preinstalled on the ANAFI USA. You can charge the smart battery when installed on ANAFI USA, or when removed from ANAFI USA. If you remove the battery, you must reinstall it in the same orientation. Ensure that you do not install the battery upside down as it can expose the battery and the drone to irreparable electrical damage. Always use genuine Parrot smart batteries. Non-genuine batteries are forbidden, and their use will void the warranty and impact safety requirements.

Important: The LEDs and Power button face up in the correct orientation.

Important: Do not apply pressure or touch the drone's gimbal when you handle ANAFI USA

Note: LiPo batteries gradually lose capacity after 300 charge/discharge cycles.

Battery removal
To remove the smart battery from the drone, unfold the rear arms of ANAFI USA. Set the drone on a flat and even surface and press the push-button which connects the battery to the body of the drone with your thumb. Gently slide your thumb and the battery toward the back of ANAFI USA. When the hook of the push-button is disengaged from the body of the drone, lift the battery away from ANAFI USA.

Battery installation
To install the smart battery on the drone, unfold the rear arms of ANAFI USA. Set the drone on a flat and even surface and position the battery's three hooks into the drone's corresponding slots. Place your middle finger on the Parrot logo of ANAFI U SA and your thumb on the back of the smart battery. Squeeze your fingers together until you feel and hear the battery clicking into the body of the drone.

Battery charging
To charge the smart LiPo battery, use the enclosed USB-A to USB-C cable to connect the battery to its enclosed charger. Alternatively, this cable enables you to charge the battery from:
- a tabletop or laptop computer's USB-A port. - a power bank's USB-A port.

Indicative full charging times at 20°C Enclosed charger: A computer's/ power bank's USB-A port:

between 200 and 240 minutes between 300 and 350 minutes

ANA FI U SA's smart battery can also be recharged through a Power Delivery adapter or charger (USBPD standard), using a USB-C to USB-C cable (not included in the box). In that configuration, full charging time of the battery can be reduced to 115 minutes.

Important: Parrot does not recommend ANAFI USA users to invest in a USB-PD power bank, as not all of them support USB-C to USB-C charging of ANAFI USA's battery. Due to the nature of the USBC technology, some USB-PD power banks recharge on ANAFI USA's smart battery, rather than the other way around.

Warning: Other generic USB chargers may be used provided that they are certified according to the country of use, and have the applicable rating/specification. Performance and warranty are only guaranteed when using the genuine charger included in the Parrot drone system.

ANAFI USA

When A NA F I U S A 's smart LiPo battery is plugged into a power source and charging, its 4 LEDs indicate in real time the charge level:

LED 1 LED 2 LED 3 LED 4

Charge Level 0 - 25% charged

When the battery is installed on the drone, and when ANAFI USA is powered on, the number of steady LEDs enables you to estimate your remaining flying time:

LED 1 LED 2 LED 3 LED 4

Remaining flight time less than 8 minutes

8-16 minutes

16-24 minutes

24-32 minutes
Battery update ANAFI USA smart batteries can be updated, like the drone itself, its controller and its controlling software FreeFlight 6 USA. When a battery update is available with a FreeFlight 6 USA release, a message appears in the app. Follow the in-app instructions to update your battery.
Warning: Keep your battery plugged into a power supply throughout the software update procedure. Repeat the procedure with all your batteries.

Battery care and safety
ANAFI USA's smart battery features a wintering mode, designed to increase its durability and facilitate its care. Ideally, when not in use for a prolonged period, batteries should be stored halfcharged. When not in use for 10 days, ANAFI USA's smart battery discharges itself, if required, to 65% charge, over a 48h period.

After a maximum of 12 days without use, the smart battery enters hibernation with a charge level which never exceeds 65%. If you leave your ANAFI USA battery for 12 days, the power button does not activate the charge level LED indicators. You must charge the battery to exit the wintering mode and start operating as described in the earlier paragraphs. This behavior preserves the battery over time. Parrot recommends you always run a full charge of your smart battery before flying ANAFI USA.

ANAFI USA's smart battery must be handled, transported and stored with care: - never leave a battery unattended while charging; - never expose a battery to extreme temperatures, either hot, nor cold; - never charge a battery which is still warm from use (wait for at least 20 minutes); - never use or recharge a damaged or swollen battery; - always store your battery in a dry, ventilated place, at a temperature close to 20°C; - always carry your battery in a fire-retardant bag or case (unless it is installed on ANAFI USA: it can then be transported with the drone, inside its carrying case).

Note: ANAFI USA's smart battery can only charge in ambient temperatures between +10°C and +45°C. Flying time is reduced if you use ANAFI USA in temperatures approaching -10°C. The ideal operating temperature of the smart battery is 20°C. Ensuring that the smart battery remains as close as possible to 20°C before starting a flight minimizes the reduction in the smart battery's capacity in cold environments.

If the behavior of your battery is not consistent with the information in this section, and if the battery does not power your ANAFI USA, you must hard reset your battery.

To perform a battery hard reset: 1. Plug the battery into a power source with the enclosed cable, 2. Press the Power button for 15 seconds (regardless of the behavior of the LEDs).

The hard reset is successful if the battery's LEDs flash quickly, one after the other, alternating green and red.

1m to 10 m (DV: 2m) NO / YES TAKE-OFF / PILOT / CUSTOM

Note: By activating advanced RTH features, if you select return to Pilot or Custom position, the drone might not be able to reach its destination in case of low battery. Parrot will not be held responsible in case the drone lands in a different location.

End behavior and Hovering height
Parrot recommends ending RTH sequences by hovering (default value) as it enables the pilot to control the end of the flight. However, for missions at sea, Parrot recommends you modify the hovering altitude over 2m (default value). Up to 2m, at the end of the RTH, the drone will compute its height over the ground, with its ultrasonic sensor. Above 2m, it will compute its height over its take-off point, with its barometer.

For example, if the drone takes off from the deck of a ship, 40m above the sea level, with a hovering altitude set at 2m, at the end of the RTH, the drone will look for the ground and could stop 2m above the surface of the sea.

If it takes off with a hovering altitude set at 3m, it will stop 43m (40 + 3) above the surface of the sea.

Tap RESET ALL SAFETY PREFERENCES to reset Safety preferences to the default values.

Camera Camera preferences allow you to select camera options, both in photo and video modes.
