2. Setup Instructions
- Charging the Device: The tattoo machine features Type-C charging. Connect the provided Type-C cable to the charging port on the device and to a compatible power source. A full charge typically takes 2-3 hours. Ensure the power source current is below 2A.
- Attaching the Needle Cartridge: Gently push the desired needle cartridge into the machine's front opening until it clicks securely into place.
- Adjusting Needle Depth: Rotate the grip of the machine to adjust the needle depth to your preference.
3. Operating Instructions
- Power On/Off: Press and hold the power button (usually the central 'M' button or a dedicated power button) to turn the machine on or off.
- Adjusting Voltage: Use the '+' and '-' buttons on the side of the machine to increase or decrease the operating voltage. The current voltage will be displayed on the screen.
- Switching Modes (M1, M2, M3): Long-press the 'M' button to cycle through different operating modes (M1, M2, M3). These modes may offer different performance characteristics or preset settings.
- Activating Strong-Start Mode: Double-click the 'M' button to activate the strong-start mode, indicated by a lightning bolt icon on the display. This provides an initial power boost for certain needle configurations or tattooing styles.
