Extra batteries
and spare parts
In order to limit our paper consumption, and as part of our environmentally friendly
and responsible approach, Parrot prefers to put user documents online rather
than print them out. This simplified guide to the AR.Drone 2.0 is therefore limited
to providing you with the main instructions that will make it easy for you to use the
device. More information can be found on the Support and Downloads section of
our website, www.parrot.com: the full manual, FAQs, tutorials, and more.
In order to increase your AR.Drone 2.0 playing time, you can purchase spare •
batteries from our website www.parrot.com. You can also use our website to
order spare parts if needed.
We also provide online video tutorials showing you how to replace parts. How-•
ever, if you don’t feel confident enough to replace any parts yourself, you can
send us your AR.Drone 2.0 using the returns procedure. See our website for
more information.

HEALTH AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Important Safety Information – Read the following warning before you or your child play with
the AR.Drone 2.0. Failing to do so may cause injury.
The AR.Drone 2.0 is a model aircraft designed only for recreation, entertainment, and competitions
between model aircraft (*). The pilot must directly control the flight path of his or her AR.Drone 2.0 at
all times in order to avoid any obstacles, and must take care only to use it in suitable locations
chosen to ensure that people, animals and property remain safe at all times.
(*) The AR.Drone 2.0 falls under category A of French regulation. The user alone is liable for any use
which is contrary to law, in particular use for non-recreational purposes.
Seizure warning
Some people (about 1 in 4000) may have seizures or blackouts triggered by light flashes or •
patterns, such as while watching TV or playing video games, even if they have never had a
seizure before;
Anyone who has had a seizure, loss of awareness, or other symptom linked to an epileptic •
condition should consult a doctor before playing a video game.
Parents should watch when their children play video games. Stop playing and consult a •
doctor if you or your child have any of the following symptoms: convulsions, eye or muscle
twitching, loss of awareness, altered vision, involuntary movements, disorientation.
To reduce the likehood of a seizure when playing video games:•
Sit or stand as far from the screen as possible. Play video games on the smallest available television screen. Do not play if you are tired or need to sleep. Play in a well-lit room (indoor) or area (outdoor). Take an 10 to 15 minute break every hour. -
12
ENGLISH
Repetitive motion injuries and eyestrain
Playing video games can make your muscles, joint, skin or eyes hurt after a few hours. Follow these
instructions to avoid problems such as tendinitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, skin irritation or eyestrain;
avoid excessive play. It is recommended that parents monitor their children for appropriate play ;
take a 10 to 15 minute break every hour, even if you don’t think you need it ; if your hands, wrists, arms or eyes become tired or sore while playing, stop and rest them for several hours before playing again ;
if you continue to have some hands, wrists, arms or eyes during or after paly, stop playing and see a doctor.
WARNING! Not suitable for children under the age of 14. This product contains small magnets. If
swallowed, the magnets may stick together in the intestines and cause serious injury. Consult a
doctor immediately if the magnets are swallowed.
Use and maintenance
The AR.Drone 2.0 is not suitable for use by children under 14 years of age. To fly the AR.Drone 2.0 indoors install the hull in order to protect the AR.Drone 2.0 in case of collision with any object.
You should keep the AR.Drone 2.0 in sight at all times when operating it, in order, among others, to avoid injuries or damages to people, animals or property.
The use of the AR.Drone 2.0 is some public areas (for instance train stations, trains, airports, aircrafts, etc.) may be prohibited. You should check whether the use of the AR.Drone 2.0 is
permitted before using it in public areas or public transport.
Always use your AR.Drone 2.0 bearing in mind other people’s privacy. Avoid flying the AR.Drone 2.0 at high altitude: it could get drawn by an airstream. Keep in mind that the wind strength that you encounter where you are piloting the AR.Drone -
2.0 may well be different from the wind strength where the AR.Drone 2.0 is actually flying.
We recommend you do not fly the AR.Drone 2.0 higher than 10 meters. -

When rotating, the propellers of the AR.Drone 2.0 could cause injury to people, animals and prop-•
erty. You should not touch the AR.Drone 2.0 when propellers are rotating and should wait until the
propellers have completely stopped before handling the AR.Drone 2.0.
In flight, the propellers of the AR.Drone 2.0 can cause injury to people and damage property. Do not •
touch the AR.Drone 2.0 when it is in flight. Wait until the propellers have completely stopped before
handling the AR.Drone 2.0. Keep away from children and animals. Always keep a safe distance
between the propellers and any person, animal or piece of property. Be particularly careful when
the Flip option is turned on.
You must keep the AR.Drone 2.0 away from high voltage power lines, trees, buildings and any other •
potentially dangerous or hazardous areas.

more perilous adventures.
Remove all plastic protective films.•
Observe the safety precautions mentioned in the HEALTH AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS section.•
During your very first flights, always stand behind the AR.Drone 2.0. In this way the controls are •
highly intuitive. When the AR.Drone 2.0 is coming towards you, the controls are reversed which
requires greater piloting skill.
Avoid using your AR.Drone 2.0 in areas where there are lots of Wi-Fi networks (routers, internet •
boxes etc.).
When inside, find an obstruction-free area for your first flights.•
When outside, take note of the wind direction and place your AR.Drone 2.0 in front of you, with the •
wind coming from behind.
If you lose control of your AR.Drone 2.0 , remove your fingers from the controls and it will stabilise •
itself automatically.
