Setup
- Charging the Device:
- Connect the provided USB charging cable to the charging port on the ViviLux laser unit.
- Plug the other end of the USB cable into any standard USB charging port (e.g., computer, USB wall adapter - not included).
- Allow approximately 3 hours for a full charge. The device can operate for several hours on a full charge.
- Attaching Laser Heads:
- Select the desired laser head (Dot, Line, or Crosshair). Each head is marked for easy identification.
- Gently screw the chosen head onto the flexible arm of the laser unit. Do not overtighten; hand-tightening is sufficient to secure the head.
- Mounting the Laser Unit:
- The ViviLux laser unit can be mounted using the included hook and loop tape (Velcro).
- Identify a suitable, stable surface on your sewing machine, long arm machine, or craft area where the laser can be positioned without obstructing your work.
- Attach one side of the hook and loop tape to the back of the laser unit and the other side to your chosen mounting surface. Ensure both surfaces are clean and dry for optimal adhesion.
- Alternatively, if your model includes a rare earth magnet, it can be used to attach the unit to metallic surfaces.
- Adjust the flexible arm to direct the laser beam precisely where needed on your fabric or workpiece.

Operating Instructions
- Powering On/Off:
- Locate the ON/Dim/OFF switch on the laser unit.
- Slide the switch to the 'ON' position to activate the laser.
- Slide to 'Dim' for a lower intensity laser, or 'OFF' to power down.
- Adjusting Laser Position:

- Using Different Laser Patterns:
- Line Laser: Ideal for sewing straight seams, quilting, or creating parallel lines.
- Crosshair Laser: Perfect for centering designs, aligning applique, or precise embroidery placement.
