FKIRONS C-FK-LBOLT-SINGLE LightningBolt Machine Battery
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.

Ex. Solid green indicates 10V
Flashing green indicates 10.5V
Battery Level Check:
Press and hold power button till white. On release color = %
Note: LED flashes while battery charges. Once < 15% is reached, a red
light will blink alternately with voltage.
Automatic Fault Detection:
- Overcharge Detection (OVP)

- Charge Overcurrent Detection (OCC)
- Discharge Overcurrent Detection (OCD)
- Load Short-Circuit Detection (SCP)
Menu Modes: Press and hold power button.
Bluetooth on: Hold the power button until the LED indicator turns blue,
then release the power button.

E-GIVE
E-GIVE 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 hit to achieve specific results. 0 no
effect, 5 maximum amount of E-give.
SETTING E-GIVE
There are 6 settings for E-give, 0 through 5. Change the setting by swipping
down and up on the bars. The higher the setting the higher the amount of give.
0 = no give, 5 = maximum give.
E-GIVE INDICATOR
The number displayed is the current E-give setting.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
VOLTAGE PARAMETERS
While voltage is a parameter that will vary from artist to artist, the
lightning bolt has been tested to operate at a minimum voltage of around
5-Volts with a maximum voltage of 12-Volts. Depending on the type of needle
configuration, or brand you use, feel free to adjust the voltage to obtain the
desired performance. NOTE: Some machines require a minimum voltage to operate
correctly, please check your machine manufacturer’s requirements.
