Operation Manual

16 Getting Started
Note: Avoid turning the AR.Drone 2.0 upside down when you check the colour of the system LED. It is
better to simply raise it high enough to look underneath.
If the LED is green, you can take off.
If after 20 seconds the LED is either red or orange, disconnect then reconnect the battery.
In the event of problems
Checking the IP address of the AR.Drone 2.0
Check that the IP address appears on the AR.Drone 2.0 network. To do this:
- If you are using an iPhone, select Settings > Wi-Fi and then press the arrow to the right of
the network “ardrone2”.
- If you are using an Android phone, select Settings > Wireless & Networking > Wi-Fi Settings and
select the network “ardrone2”.
An IP address starting with 192.168.1.X should appear in the IP field.
If the IP address starts with 169, it will not be possible to establish a
connection between the smartphone and the AR.Drone 2.0.
This incorrect IP address may be due to several problems (AR.Drone 2.0 already in use with another
smartphone, Wi-Fi signal disturbed...). Refer to our FAQ for more information.
Deactivating the Pairing option
If you wish to use the AR.Drone 2.0 with another smartphone than the first one connected to it, you
need to make sure that the Pairing option is deactivated.
If the Pairing option is activated, the connection between the AR.Drone 2.0 and any other
smartphone will not be possible.
To deactivate the Pairing option:
1. Launch AR.FreeFlight 2.0 and press TAKE OFF.
