Baylan Skoll’s Collector Lightsaber and Master Chassis – User Guide

Introduction

  • Important notes:

    – This “hero” prop is a collector item which is not meant for dueling or heavy beating.
    – Remember to always check the battery polarity before inserting it into the chassis (button goes at the top)
    – When inserting the chassis into the hilt, please avoid contact between the pogo-pins (connector at the top to the chassis) and the hilt metal, as it could create a short.
    – If the sound starts crackling, it is very likely that the battery starts to be depleted and need swapping with the fully charger one.

  • Warranty:

    This Lightsaber comes with a lifetime warranty, covering all events of faulty electronic, break, …etc.
    Please contact our email vip@goth-3designs.com for any questions or issues.
