3. Setup Instructions
- Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
- Connect Power: Plug the power adapter into the designated port on the Tesla Coil unit, then connect it to a power outlet.
- Attach Discharge Needle: Securely attach the discharge needle to the top of the Tesla Coil.
- Initial Knob Settings: Before powering on, ensure both the PWR (Power) and FREQ (Frequency) knobs are turned counter-clockwise to their minimum settings. This prevents sudden loud sounds or unexpected discharges.
- Power On: Turn the PWR knob clockwise to power on the device. The blue indicator light will illuminate.

4. Operating Instructions
4.1. Discharge Mode
In discharge mode, the Tesla Coil generates visible electrical arcs from the discharge needle. You can observe these arcs and interact with them using various accessories.
- Generating Arcs: Slowly turn the FREQ knob clockwise to increase the frequency and observe the electrical arcs.
- Using Neon Bulbs: Hold a neon bulb near the discharge needle. The bulb will light up wirelessly due to the electromagnetic field.
- Using Iron Wire: Shape the provided DIY soft iron wire and attach it to the discharge needle to create various arc patterns.
- Troubleshooting Arc Generation: If no arc appears after powering on, use an iron screwdriver or blade to gently contact the discharge needle to initiate the arc.
