Safety Instructions
Before you start the installation, please read these safety instructions carefully!
Following these instructions carefully, in the exact order they are written, is vital for
your own safety and safety of others.
The ParaZero SafeAir M600 is a safety system, designed to deploy almost instantaneously, by
using a special pyrotechnic mechanism, which must be handled with care.
The system incorporates two safety elements:
a. Safety pin (as seen below)
The safety pin electrically prevents the activation of the system. The system is packed and
shipped with the safety pin connected to the system. Do not remove the safety pin,until
specifically instructed in this guide.
b. Safety cover (as seen before)
The safety cover physically prevents the deployment of the parachute, in case of an
unintended triggering. It is designed for safety during transportation, storage and should be
applied at the end of each flight day. The cover will also provide an extra layer of protection
for your product against external damage. The system is packaged and shipped with the cover
stretched over the parachute canister.
Do not remove it until you finish the installation, and you are ready to fly.

“Safe” position.
Step 7:
Set the upper limit of “Spraying Frequency” to 2500. This will be referred to as the
“Activated” position.
Step 8:
Set the “Direct output channel frequency” to 50Hz
