How to fly on 4G LTE (User Manual)

Preparation

• Charge your batteries!
• Ensure the device connected to Skycontroller 2 via USB is not Wi-Fi connected to the Bebop 2. Disable auto-join for Bebop 2's SSID (e.g. Bebop2-123456) or disable Wi-Fi entirely.
• Disable Geofence in FreeFlight Pro if you want to overcome the 2 km max. limit

Ready, 4G, go!

1. Turn on the Bebop 2 with the 4G/LTE USB modem plugged in and wait for the Glympse SMS/Push Notifications to arrive.
2. Open the Glympse link and start tracking the Bebop 2's position.
3. Enable tethering on your mobile device (iOS: "Personal Hotspot" or Android: "Portable WLAN hotspot")
4. Start the SkyController 2 and wait until it's connected to the Bebop 2 via Wi-Fi (LED: green solid)
5. Double press Settings button on Skycontroller 2.
   LED: flashing blue/white for 1 seconds (to indicate switch-over to 4G/LTE mode)
   LED: flashing magenta (trying to associate to mobile Wi-Fi hotspot and obtaining IP address)
   LED: flashing blue (starting zerotier and trying to reach Bebop 2 via zerotier tunnel)
   LED: solid blue (Bebop 2 is connected via 4G/LTE)
6. Plug in FreeFlight Pro device into Skycontroller 2 via USB cable.
7. Wait for video streams to start (takes between 10 and 20 seconds)
8. Press the take-off button and fly! 😀
9. It is recommended to bring the Bebop 2 up to a safe altitude first (at least above the tree line/tallest buildings around). In case you experience a disconnection during the flight, the Bebop 2 will Return-To-Home by itself at the current altitude.

Switch back to Wi-Fi during flight

1. Double press Settings button on Skycontroller 2.
   LED: flashing green/white for 1 seconds (to indicate switch-over to Wi-Fi mode)
   LED: flashing red (trying to associate to Bebop 2 and obtaining IP address)
   LED: solid green (Bebop 2 is connected via Wi-Fi)
2. Continue to fly! (on limited range though 😕)

⚠️ Note: It is not advised to switch to Wi-Fi while the Bebop 2 is just above the take off point. Switching to Wi-Fi will cause 4G/LTE to disconnect, which will put the Bebop 2 into Return-To-Home mode. As it's already above the take off point, it will initiate landing. In case the switch-over to Wi-Fi (around 5-10 seconds) takes too long, the landing might end in a unplanned tree visit.
