Assembly

  1. Remove the plastic cap from the blade and then carefully slide it into the handle from the top until it rests against the pins. The blade should push the pins inward slightly.
  2. Now, using the Allen wrench, screw the included flat head Allen screws through the screw holes at the top of the handle to securely clamp the blade. You don't need to install them! The remaining pointed and blunt screws are spare; you don't need to do anything with them.
  3. The Allen screws should be tightened straight into the handle and without resistance.

When reassembling, make sure the Allen screws do not block the blade on the inside of the handle. 

To upload

Charge the saber for at least two hours before use. Do not turn the saber on while it is charging. Use a 1A/5V charger. If the saber has been completely discharged, charge it for at least four hours.

Charging with a cable: Insert the cable into the charging port. The light ring will flash slowly. When the saber is fully charged, the light ring will go out or the saber will say "ready." Some legendary sabers have a concealed charging port, usually located on the underside of the saber.

Charging with a separate battery charger: Unscrew the two parts of the saber (leaving all screws) and remove the battery to place it in the charger.

Turn on

When the saber is in standby mode (the button lights up and the blade does not), press the button on the handle once. If the button does not light up, the saber is off and must be held down for about three seconds to turn it on.

To expand

When the saber is on (the blade lights up): Hold down the light-up button until the saber goes out (about three seconds). The saber will then enter standby mode. Hold the button down longer to turn it off completely.

Volumes

Each KenJo Saber has different volume settings and a mute/silent mode. Standard Neopixel sabers have two different modes: mute and sound on.

To change the volume, the saber must be in standby mode. Press and hold the button until the light flashes once, then release. You will hear a voice confirmation.

Repeat this process to toggle between volume and mute.

Using the Bluetooth app (Android only):

Check out this handy supreme neopixel (SN4(pro)) bluetooth instruction manual including download links / qr code for the Apple and Android app.

You can easily pair your saber in the app. Click the Bluetooth button and scan to find your lightsaber.

In the control menu you can operate the basic functions such as start up style, blade style, color etc of the saber.

Adjust motion control sensitivity and functions: In the "control" menu, click "set params" at the bottom right to toggle on/off functions and adjust the sensor's sensitivity for certain functions.

Custom adjustments via Bluetooth:

You can create new presets or configure blade styles, startup styles, timing, and much more via the Bluetooth app. This can be done via "new." Click the "send" icon to send the modified setting. A detailed video tutorial on configuring adjustments yourself will follow soon.

NOTE: Due to the large number and complexity of options, we recommend waiting until the video instruction for customization is ready and uploaded here.

If your saber no longer works as expected due to the new settings, click "More" at the bottom right and reset the saber to factory settings.
