The Guardian User Manual

The Guardian

Congratulations on being the proud owner of one of our flagship RGB Baselit Guardian lightsabers!

The Guardian lightsaber comes in 3 different hilt colors: Black, Grey, and Silver. Each one operates the same and has the same features, usage instructions, and warnings.

For help assembling your lightsaber, view our Assembling The Saber article.

Turning on/off

To turn on, quick press the power button. To turn off, long press for 3-4 seconds until it powers down.

Sword Fighting Mode

After turning on, press and hold the power button for 1 second (until it flashes once), then release and immediately quick press to enter Sword Fighting Mode. Quick press again to exit Sword Fighting Mode.

Color Selection Mode

After turning on, press and hold the power button for 2 seconds (until it flashes twice), then release and immediately press and hold to enter the Color Selection Mode. The 11 colors will cycle in turn, and when the desired color is reached, release the button to select that color and exit Color Selection Mode.

Colors

There are 11 colors that can be chosen within the Color Selection Mode: cool white, deep red, pink, red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, and ice blue.

Volume Selection Mode

After turning on, press and hold the power button for 3 seconds (until it flashes 3 times), then release and immediately press and hold to enter the Volume Selection Mode. The 3 levels of volume will cycle in turn, and when the desired volume is reached, release the button to select that volume and exit Volume Selection Mode.

Muting/Unmuting

To toggle between muted and unmuted modes, have the saber turned off. Press and hold the power button for 3 seconds (until it flashes twice in response to the command) and then release. If sound was enabled and you mute it, there will be no noise. If it was already muted and you unmute it, it will hum for a second or two in confirmation that sound has been re-enabled.

Sound Font Switching

While powered off, press and hold the button for 1 second (until it flashes once) and then release. You can cycle between sound effect styles in turn by repeating this step until you have selected the one you want.

Charging

Insert the charging cable in the DC port. The hilt will have a light indicating that it is charging. Once it is fully charged, the light will turn off.

Is your saber beeping?

If you haven't charged it recently, the saber will flash on clash with a red tinge; if you don't notice this or ignore it long enough, it will get critically low and begin repeatedly beeping until you either power off and recharge it or it goes unaddressed long enough for the battery to completely drain and the saber will turn off automatically.

Warnings

This product is an LED light-emitting toy; prolonged staring may affect your vision. Children under 5 years old should not use this product. These sabers are hard and durable. Please use with caution, as strong impacts with body parts can potentially result in serious harm.

Please use the original USB charging cable included with your saber. You can charge by connecting to your computer’s USB port, or through the 5V1A output. Please avoid charging with higher-voltage cables. Please charge fully before first use. It is recommended to fully empty and recharge the battery once a month.

This product has a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery, which is not waterproof; please avoid contact with water!

The film inside the blade tube guides the light along the blade - please do not remove the film.

The blade tube can be removed and/or replaced, but other disassembly of the hilt will void any warranties.

There are 4 small screws that can be removed, replaced, or loosened/tightened with the included Allen wrench. These are for removing, replacing, or adjusting the blade tube. The other screws on the grip are used for internal components and should not be touched.

The bullet tip at the end of the polycarbonate blade has been known to come off on some blades when the blades are used in particularly heavy combat. They can reinserted with glue designed specifically for plastic repair if this should happen (products like JD Weld Plastic Repair are good choices).
