SAFETY NOTICE

CLASS III SYMBOL
A Class III appliance is designed to be supplied from a separate/safety extra low voltage (SELV) power source. The voltage from a SELV supply is low enough that under normal conditions a person can safely come into contact with it, without the risk of electrical shock. The extra safety features built into Class I and Class II appliances are, therefore, not required. For medical devices, compliance with Class III is not considered sufficient protection, and further more-stringent regulations apply to such equipment.

DETACHING THE POWERBOLT+

DETACHING THE POWERBOLT+

The PowerBolt+ is compatible with the Flux and the EXO.
To detach your PowerBolt+, ensure you have a firm grip on the Body of the Flux or EXO and Grip. Turn the PowerBolt+ counterclockwise and pull out.
To attach the PowerBolt+, push in while twisting clockwise.
Ensure the lock mechanism moves freely. PowerBolt+ must sit correctly to ensure power electric leads align correctly. Avoid contact with the PowerBolt+ leads while recharging or servicing.

eGIVE

eGIVE ADJUSTMENT
With this feature, you’ll be able to control the amount of “give” or resistance of the needle upon impact with the skin. This enables the artist to take advantage of the softness or hardness of the hit to achieve specific results. 0 no effect, 5 maximum amount of eGive.

HOW TO CHECK THE CURRENT eGIVE SETTING

• Hold down the power button until the light goes from white to solid blue.
• Release the power button.
• The following blinking color that the LED displays indicate the Give that the unit is currently set at. For example:
  – If it blinks white, that indicates the lowest Give of 0
  – If it blinks yellow, it’s currently set at level 1 Give
  – If it blinks orange, it’s currently set at level 2 Give
  – If it blinks red, it’s currently set at level 3 Give
  – If it blinks pink, it’s currently set at level 4 Give
  – If it blinks green, it’s currently set at level 5 (softest eGive setting)

CHANGING eGIVE
To raise or lower the give:
– Hold down the power button until the light goes from white to solid blue.
– Release the power button and immediately use the up or down arrows to change the give.
The colors should change accordingly.

| | White – eGive of 0
---|---|---
Yellow – level 1 eGive
Orange – level 2 eGive
Red – level 3 eGive
Pink – level 4 eGive
Green – level 5 eGive (softest setting)
