"Max tilt speed" specify the rate of angular change speed.
"Max vertical speed" can change ascent / descent speed.
"Max rotaion speed" can change rotaion speed to left and right.
"Banked turn" specify whether or not to take a bank in the flight attitude when turning.
When using the Hull for indoors, set "Hull" on in "Accessory selection".

"Max altitude" specify the upper limit of the altitude of Bebop Drone. Even if you want flight higher altitude, considering the reach of radio waves, it is safe to set about 50m.
"Max distance" specify the maximum distance from the operator. Radio waves reachs up to 2km when you use Skycontroller, but normally it is safe to set about 50m.
"Geofence" specify whether to use Geofence. For safety, let's turn it on.



In the column "Network name" you can specify the network name of the Bebop Drone that appears in iPod / iPad / iPhone Wi-Fi screen. To reflect the changes, you must reboot the Bebop Drone. You can use only alphanumeric or "_" in 32 characters or less.
Select your country in "Location". And if you flight outdoors, tap "Outdoor".
You can select channel manually in "Wi-Fi band". 2.4GHz band reachs long distance but congested. 5GHz band is relatively vacant, but outdoor use is prohibited in some countries. In addition, old iPod / iPad / iPhone models support only 2.4GHz.
Graph of the bottom of the screen shows the radio waves of congestion for each frequency. The concentration of the graph showed the order to congestion. When turn on manual mode, you can switch to any channel.
Wi-Fi reach distance of iPad series is better than iPhone. So I recommend you use it if you have iPad series.

Take videos and photos
See below for details.Acrobatic flight
Bebop Drone can perform preset somersault (FLIP) flight to four directions. This is a pretty flashy action. Please note it will hit the ground when low altitude, or fly to unexpected direction while it is not stationary. Further, when flying with battery for AR.Drone, the battery will drop off. When performing acrobatic flight, please let fly with battery for Bebop Drone.







Maps / Return to starting point
You can view the flight location on the map during the flight.

Starting point has been displayed by the house icon.

In addition, if communication between iPod / iPad / iPhone and Bebop Drone is disrupted for more than two minutes, Bebop Drone will come back to the starting point too.
Look back on flight record
With PARROT CLOUD, you can look back flight of Bebop Drone ( altitude, speed and so on ) from later. See below for details.Initialization / reset
There are two ways to initialize / reset Bebop Drone to factory default.



Increase battery life
The battery type of Bebop Drone is lithium-ion (Li-Polymer) battery as well as iPod / iPad / iPhone and laptops. If it is left in a state of "full charge" or "empty" long time, battery will be deteriorated, and will not be able to charge again. Therefore, you must keep the state about 50% charge when not in use for a long time. (Once you run out of battery in the flight, charge it about 20 minutes then it will be recovered to about 60%.)In addition, if shirttail charge repeated many times, there is a case where built-in microcomputer to control (remaining management) the charge would crazy. In this case, despite of enough remaining, battery exhaustion will be displayed. When this happens, try to repeat several times full charge at once, then continuously use until stop empty battery, it may be repaired.
