Is it necessary to measure everything manually in detail to

set-up the beacons at precise locations?

No. It is like the GPS: you don’t need to know the position

of each satellites, it is automatic. Just put the 3 micro-

beacons somewhere around your playground, switch

them on, and you are done.

Is it an issue if I go outside the area set-up by the beacons?

No. You can go outside the area set up by the beacons

and still be framed. And of course if you are going too far

the camera will lose you, and it will find you again when

you come back.

Can I use PIXIO in a building with metallic walls?

Yes. Just take care to have all the elements of PIXIO a few

inches (a few centimeters) away from the metal.

Can I use PIXIO robot without the three beacons?

The three easy to set up beacons included with the PIXIO

allows the robot to be responsive, precise and to film from

330ft (100meters): it is exactly what makes PIXIO a unique

technological product. The three beacons are used by

the watch to calculate

10 times per second the position

of the robot which explains exactly why you need the

beacons to enjoy your PIXIO experience.

How long does the beacon battery last?

What if I need to film for a longer period?

The beacons battery lasts about 3 hours. If you still need

more time to film, you can always use a power bank (not

included). Just plug the power bank to the beacon and

that’s it!

What are the maximum and minimum operating

temperatures?

As any electronic devices, PIXIO operation is not

guaranteed at temperatures below 0°C or temperatures

above 40°C. In real life we have many customers using

PIXIO since more than one year in cold countries, Canada,

Sweden, Iceland, Norway, Finland etc., and they never

had any problem in cold weather. And in our lab we

tested PIXIO at -18°C.

Batteries usually have less autonomy in the cold, this is

probably the main consequence.
