Drone Settings Menu
Flight Limits

Height Floor - (enabled by default) maintains at least 8 ft (2.4 m) of space
above a tracked subject while in any autonomous follow skill, creating abuffer between Skydio 2/2+ and any moving objects, such as people, pets, orvehicles.
• while following a subject, Skydio 2/2+ may become trapped by obstacles
and unable to continue following due to the height restriction, even if thespace under the drone is clear.
• you will be unable to lower the Height Floor below 8 ft (2.4 m) height floor
while tracking a subject.
• disabling the Height Floor setting may increase tracking performanceby allowing Skydio 2/2+ to fly under low-lying obstacles, such as tree
branches and overhangs, to maintain a visual line of sight. It also allows
users to set the preferred follow height low to the ground, capturing highenergy shots from a unique ground-hugging perspective.
• combining low elevation flight and high-speed tracking presents an increased risk of collision with moving
objects. Skydio strongly recommends users only disable the Height Floor setting when operating inwide open, outdoor spaces with no people, animals, or other moving objects nearby. Pilots maintain full
responsibility for the safe operation of their Skydio 2/2+ drone at all times during the flight.

NOTE: the Height Floor setting only applies while a subject is being tracked. If Skydio 2/2+ is in Manual Skill modewith no subject selected, you will have full control over the drone’s height. Skydio 2/2+ only avoids obstacles thatare not in motion. Cars, balls, animals, other drones, other people, or similar moving objects will not be avoided if
moving faster than walking speed.

Height Ceiling• adjust the flight ceiling height to between 10 and 1500 ft (3.3 and 457 m)• disable the height ceiling for a maximum allowed flight altitude

GPS Weak Altitude Limit - (enabled by default) prevents flight above 33 ft (10m) outdoors and 66 feet (20 m) indoors when the GPS signal is weak

WARNING: toggling OFF disables the altitude limit, and your drone will fly using
only the vision navigation. To reduce the risk of an emergency landing maintain aflight path near surfaces and objects.

Hand landing
WARNING: Exercise extreme care to avoid injury when attempting to land a drone on your hand. Do not attempt
to hand-land before the drone is in a landing state as it may cause severe injury. Attempting to hand-land while
obstacle avoidance is active will cause Skydio 2/2+ to avoid your hand and crashing into you or surrounding objects.
Hand-landing should only be used when surrounding surface conditions are unfavorable.

Step 1 - Ensure that Skydio 2/2+:• landing conditions are safe, including low winds• is hovering stationary within a few feet (~1 m)• is not following a subject• is over level and stable ground
Step 2 - Orient so that the camera faces away fromyou and that you have ample space to physically moveyourself beneath the drone
Step 3 - Initiate a landing
Step 4 - Move yourself into a position that will allow
Skydio 2/2+ to safely land in your hand:• you will be able to nudge the drone forward,
backward, left, or right, however it is best andsafest to adjust your position to meet the drone.
• do not attempt to hand land before obstacle
avoidance has been disabled. Obstacle avoidanceis disabled when altitude is below 10 ft (3 m).
You will be notified when obstacle avoidance isdisabled.

• If Skydio 2/2+ is not level and motionless, thepropellers may start spinning again. If thishappens, maintain a firm grip on the battery andkeep the vehicle stable and motionless.
• Do not attempt to rotate or flip the vehicle during ahand landing. Doing so may cause the battery to
become dislodged.
Only use hand landing when absolutely necessary.
Do not attempt a hand landing if:• the wind is strong• Skydio 2/2+ is not stable in flight for any reason• Skydio 2/2+ is performing an emergency landing
after an accident or crash• you are in an area where you do not have stablefooting• you are on a moving vehicle or boat
• you are not an experienced pilot

Step 5 - After obstacle avoidance has been disabled,
allow the drone battery to land gently onto your hand.
Grasp the battery on the sides and hold the drone in
the same position until the propellers completely stop
spinning.
• During landing Skydio 2/2+ is verifying that it is
supported by a stable surface and motionless forseveral seconds to ensure that a safe touchdown
has been achieved. It may take several seconds tostop the propellers after touch down.

Step 4 - (optional) create a clip of the video to save instead of copying the entire video to your mobile device• Skydio 2/2+ can record video in either AVC (H.264) or HEVC (H.265)• different mobile devices and personal computers have different compatibilities with these encoding
standards• attempting to save a video or make a clip with an encoding that is not compatible with your mobile device
may cause playback issues• creating a clip will sync any recorded audio into the new file. Use this method when you want to save videos
with audio

NOTE: Access your media by selecting the Media menu while your Skydio 2/2+ is connected to the Enterprise
Controller or mobile device, but not when connected to Beacon.

Emergency Behaviors
Several of the emergency behaviors involve Skydio 2/2+ initiating an automatic return to home. The Return
behaviors are set will be the same as a pilot-initiated return, and depending on your return settings, the drone will
ascend before returning.

Lost Connection
In the event of a loss communication link or failure of the controlling device, Skydio 2/2+ will automatically returnto the Home Point if one was specified or the original launch point, if no Home Point was specified. You will
maintain the ability to customize Lost Connection return behaviors. View the launch point, home point and last
known subject location on the map:
• select the View Map icon in the bottom right corner of the screen
If Skydio 2/2+ regains connection it will continue the current action, unless you cancel.

NOTE: if the drone is actively tracking a subject at the time of link loss, it will continue to follow the subject for 30
seconds while attempting to regain connection. If connection does not return after 30 seconds, Skydio 2/2+ willautomatically return to the Home Point (if one was specified) or the last known location of the tracked subject (if noHome Point was specified).

Lost Connection Return Behaviors
Choose how your want your drone to behave if the signal to your controlling device is lost:
Step 1 - Select the Settings menu
Step 2 - Select the Drone tab
Step 3 - Select Return Behaviors
Step 4 - Select Lost Connection• Return when Disconnected - toggle Off to disable Return when Disconnected and the Lost Connection
menu. Skydio 2/2+ will not return if it loses connection—it will hover until it reaches low battery and land.
• Wait Before Return - set the amount of time that you want Skydio 2/2+ to wait before it initiates a return
flight, allowing time to reconnect.
• Land Once Returned - when enabled, Skydio 2/2+ will return, hover for a specified amount of time, andland.
• Wait Before Land - set the amount of time between 0 to 300 seconds (the default is 240 seconds) that you
want Skydio 2/2+ to wait before landing. This setting is only enabled when Land Once Return is toggled on.

Emergency Behaviors
Lost GPS Signal
In the event that the Skydio 2/2+ GPS signal is lost, the drone will continue flying as normal. You will still be able toReturn Home and fly to waypoint, however Skydio 2/2+ flight will be less accurate.
Skydio 2/2+ loses GPS during Waypoint Mission
If Skydio 2/2+ loses GPS while executing a Waypoint mission, the drone will continue on and attempt to fly toeach waypoint. At the final waypoint a GPS Lost alert message will display. You may manually pilot the drone
and attempt to regain a GPS signal, to restart the mission.
Skydio 2/2+ never had GPS
If Skydio 2/2+ never obtains a strong GPS signal (it’s either poor or non-existent throughout the flight), you may
not be able to set a Home Point, fly to a waypoint, or return to phone/Home. If your Return Type is set to Vision,
however, you will be able to reliably return to the Launch Point using the vision navigation system.
NOTE: When Skydio 2/2+ is flying high up in the air or over large bodies of water, visual positioning becomes moredifficult and the drone relies on GPS to assist with lateral positioning. In the event that GPS is lost in such conditions,
Skydio 2/2+ lateral positioning will be affected and the drone may initiate an emergency landing.

Low Battery
When Skydio 2/2+ battery is low, there will be a series of notifications and actions to ensure a safe landing:• Skydio 2/2+ will assess your altitude and distance from the Home Point, then warn you when it is time toreturn home. It is recommended to you initiate a return or land at this time, however you can choose to keep
flying.
• Skydio 2/2+ will then notify you when it has 2 minutes of flight time left based on its current altitude and thebattery indicator will begin a two-minute countdown. You may choose to continue flying, however it is strongly
recommended that you fly to a safe location and land.
• When the two-minute countdown is complete, Skydio 2/2+ will initiate an automatic landing that you will be
unable to cancel. You will maintain the ability to nudge the drone in roll, pitch, and yaw to avoid any obstacles.

NOTE: Skydio 2/2+ will not automatically return to the home point when it reaches low battery unless you have
Return to Home Point enabled in the Return Behavior menu.

MaintenanceBattery safety guidelines• Charge your Skydio 2/ batteries using only the Skydio supplied charging power adapter or dual charger
accessory (dual charger sold separately). We recommend using the provided power adapter; however, most
USB-C power adapters that are rated from 40 W up to 100 W should be compatible as well (charge time may
be affected when using non-Skydio chargers).
• While charging, the Skydio 2/2+ or Dual Charger should be in an open area as it is normal for the device tobecome warm to the touch.
• TSA and FAA guidelines state that spare (uninstalled) lithium batteries must be transported in carry-on
baggage only. When traveling with Skydio 2/2+ in the United States, be sure to pack your batteries in yourcarry-on luggage only. For more info, please see this FAA page. When traveling with Skydio 2/2+ outside of
the United States, check local regulations before transporting batteries.
• Do not use your Skydio 2/2+ batteries at temperatures below 32°F (0°C), as they will not function properly
below that temperature. If your batteries do get cold, warm them up in a room-temperature environment - DO
NOT use higher heat (hairdryer, etc.) to accelerate heating.
• Do not charge your batteries when ambient temperature is above 95°F (35°C) or below 50°F (10°C). Batteries
will not charge when too hot or too cold.
• If storing your batteries long-term, we recommend fully charging and discharging them every two months.
• Store your batteries at room temperature (71°F - 82°F / 22°C - 28°C) and away from any moisture (less than
75% relative humidity).
• Do not use any batteries which have become dented or begin to split apart (after a crash or drop).
• Do not immerse the batteries, charger, or charging docks in water or other liquids.
• Lithium polymer batteries can leak, overheat, melt, release harmful gas, burst or ignite when exposed to heat,water, and other liquids or when pierced, punctured or ruptured.
• If any substances from the battery pack get into your eyes, do not rub them. Seek medical attention
immediately.
• Take care when disposing of the battery pack. Contact your local waste facility to verify if lithium polymer
batteries are permitted in your regular waste. Many stores also offer free recycling.
• Never insert any other materials into the Skydio 2/2+ battery terminals.
