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.

FEATURES

THE POWERBOLT

LED indicator:

• Solid Color = Whole Value
• Blinking Color = Half Increment
• Ex. Solid green indicates 10V
• Flashing green indicates 10.5V
• Battery Level Check: Press and hold the power button until white. A blinking colored light indicates the remaining charge.
• Note: LED flashes while battery charges. Once < 15% is reached, the red light will blink alternately with voltage.
• Working with modes: Modes work by pressing and releasing the power button.
• Bluetooth – Hold the power button until a blue light appears and immediately release the power button. A blue blinking light indicates pairing mode is available for 60 seconds. To deactivate Bluetooth, hold the power button and release when the yellow light flashes.
• Travel Mode (Shutdown) – Press and hold the power button until the red light flashes. This mode is for when you want to avoid unnecessary

discharge and/or comply with travel laws. To reactivate, connect/disconnect to a USB-C port.
Reset (Factory Settings) – Should you experience abnormal behavior, hold the power button and the voltage down button at the same time, then quickly release.

DETACHING THE POWERBOLT

The PowerBolt is compatible with the Spektra 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 lock mechanism moves freely. PowerBolt must sit correctly to ensure power 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 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 indicates 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.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

VOLTAGE PARAMETERS

While voltage is a parameter that will vary from artist to artist, the PowerBolt 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.
