General information
1.1 Introduction
Caution
• The SafeAir M-30 Pro is not intended for use in Sport Mode
• The CSC function (Combination Stick Command) is not supported
The ParaZero SafeAir M-30 Pro is a smart-parachute system that deploys autonomously after
detecting a critical failure in your drone. When deployed, the parachute slows the descent
rate of your drone and reduces the potential ground impact kinetic energy. The system
incorporates the following main components:
1 A unique, spring-based ballistic parachute deployment system for near zero-time
deployment, designed for operations at very low altitudes, across a range of flight
envelopes, including zero speed (hover) and full forward speed.
2 A completely autonomous identification and activation capability, using the dedicated
SmartAir™ autonomous triggering system (ATS).
3 A DJI M30 dedicated, independent flight termination system (FTS), called TerminateAir™.
The M30 TerminateAir™ controls the motors of the drone for emergency shutdown
scenarios.
The system is designed for fast assembly and detachment using only four tool-free screws.
The SafeAir™ M-30 Pro drone safety system incorporates the following features:
1 Deployment in a fraction of a second.
2 Independent, autonomous detection of critical failures in a DJI M30 drone, including XYZ
acceleration, critical angles, and extreme maneuvers.
3 Effectiveness at low altitudes and zero speed.
4 Effectiveness at extreme roll angles and at maximum speed.
5 Audio and visual warnings.
6 Easy, user-friendly Installation process.
7 Access to data logs via the desktop application.

Safety Instructions
Caution
Before you begin the installation process, read these safety instructions carefully!
Follow the instructions in this guide in the exact order in which they are presented, in order
to ensure your own safety as well as the safety of others.
The ParaZero SafeAir M-30 Pro is a safety system designed to deploy almost instantaneously by
using a spring-based ballistic deployment mechanism which must be handled with caution.
The current version number is found on the product webpage: www.parazero.com/m30 under
the software tab. A new device must be updated prior to first flight.
SafeAir M-30 System
The SafeAir system incorporates a safety catch insert, which prevents unintended activation
of the system.
Do not remove the safety catch insert until specifically instructed to do so in this guide. Use
the safety catch insert whenever the system is not installed on the drone.
This manual explains how to properly install the SafeAir M-30, a description of the system’s
functionalities, 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.
Note – Using the SafeAir M-30 system does not eliminate all risks associated with drone
operations. Please fly responsibly and in accordance with the rules and regulations defined by
authorities in the area(s) where you are operating.

Installation
5.1 Preparations
1 The SafeAir should be charged using the provided USB-C cable for at least three hours
prior to the first flight, using a USB power supply. Because the SafeAir interfaces with the
drone’s power supply via FTS connectivity, the system is automatically charged during
flight, resulting in limitless SafeAir battery operation. If the system is not used often, it should
be charged before flight for three hours.
Charge the SafeAir when the safety pin is all the way in.
2 (Optional) Charge the RC using the provided USB cable, using a USB power supply, for at
least one hour before first use. Charging should be made while the RC is turned off.
Caution
When the RC is turned off or there is no link between the RC and the receiver, manual
triggering capability is not available
3 Using the desktop application allows for firmware updates, automatic download of flight
logs, and system configuration. Make sure to update your device using the desktop
application. Connect the SafeAir to your computer using the provided USB-C cable. The
desktop application installation and operational instructions are found here.
Warning
Please do not connect the FTS cable to the drone to prevent inadvertent activation during
the firmware update process
4 Perform the self-test assessment found here

5.2 Connecting the SafeAir system to the drone
1 Unfold the drone’s arms and locate the
four threaded holes at the front, on top
of the drone
2 Position the parachute system on top
of the four threaded holes, in the
depicted orientation
3 Operators who follow Max Takeoff
Weight of 3,998g should attach four
mounting screws, and tightly secure
them using the Allen key. Otherwise,
tightly secure the four thumb screws
4 Connect the TerminateAir cable to the
PSDK Port of the drone
