Congratulations on your purchase of the SafeAir Phantom
Safety System!
This manual explains how the SafeAir Phantom system works and
how to properly operate the system on the ground and in the air.
Be sure to take the time to read this manual carefully, in order to
increase your safety and the safety of those around you.
The SafeAir Phantom system is a smart-parachute system that
deploys autonomously after detecting a critical failure in your drone.
The parachute slows the descent rate of your drone and reduces the
kinetic energy upon impact.
Note – Using the SafeAir Phantom System does not eliminate all risk
of drone operation. Please fly responsibly and in accordance with
the rules and regulations defined by authorities in the area where
you are operating.
Visit the ParaZero website (www.parazero.com) on a regular basis
for the latest information and updates.

Safety Instructions
The ParaZero SafeAir Phantom is a drone safety system, designed to
deploy instantaneously by using a powerful spring-based mechanism.
Be careful not to lean against, press or drop the system. It is imperative to
perform system updates on a regular basis through the desktop application.
The current version number is found on the product webpage:
parazero.com/phantom under the software tab.
A new device must be updated before first flight.
Warning
Caution
Do not move the drone or system while the system
is armed (green LED).
An angle breach may cause the system to deploy.
The parachute and cover will be projected at high speed
and may cause injuries.
Turn the system off immediately after landing.
The SafeAir Mavic System is not intended for use
in Sport mode.
The CSC function (Combination Stick Command) is
not supported.
