USER MANUAL
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 sufcient protection,
and further more-stringent regulations apply to such equipment.

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 specic results. 0 no effect, 5 maximum amount of eGive.
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)

Depending on the type of needle conguration, 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.
