Dear customer,
Thank you for purchasing Ignis pixel poi. To make its lifetime as long as possible, as well as to keep
the warranty valid, please read the instruction entirely and follow our advice.

Controls for JellyPoi
The only button to control JellyPoi is placed on the cord’s side.

red green
There are easy-to-feel little pimples on the rib opposite to the button, that makes you nd the
button easier. To turn on the poi, hold the button pushed at least 1 second. You will see ascending
- - gradient. Wait until the gradient is full.
blue
After you turn on JellyPoi, a timeline menu with a blinking cursor lights up.

orange green
This menu consists of 3 preset timelines of color, and 4 custom timelines of color:
The images in PRESET TIMELINES 1 and 2 change ith the duration set from the application in the range
from 1 to 8 seconds. This parameter can be set only from the app. On default the duration of pictures in timelines
1 and 2 is set on 4 seconds.
Note 1:
If you run random playback from the app on several poi at the same time, it ill be pseudo-random
playback. It means that pictures go randomly, but all the devices ill sho the same
If you run preset timeline 2 on dierent devices from the button at dierent time, they all ill display dierent
images — it's actually random.
In both cases, random sequence goes cyclically and doesn’t change.
Note 2:
Smart Ultimate
When you go into this mode, you see a rainbo -like scale of available colors. To choose the required
color, push the button and hold it for 0,5 second. Selected color blinks. Short push the button runs the poi on a
selected color.
The follo ing is available for and versions: hen the device is launched on a certain color and if
the device is untouched, one of the LEDs on the scale shines dimmer than the others. Its position sho s the
current battery level. If the dim LED is on top, it means 100% battery charge. Lo er position of the dim LED means
lo er battery charge. When you use the device as a lamp in this mode, for example in camping, in a tent or
else here, you can visually evaluate the remained battery level. It can be useful if, for example, for the next
several hours you need to use it as a lantern, and you can decrease the brightness so the device ould shine
longer. Any ay, hen you start spinning the device ith enough speed, all LEDs become the same bright.
Note 3:
PRESET TIMELINE 1. Successive displaying of all loaded pictures for 4 seconds each (see Note 1)
PRESET TIMELINE 2. Random displaying of all loaded pictures for 4 seconds each (see Note 2)
PRESET TIMELINE 3. Solid color mode (see Note 3)

PRESET TIMELINE 3

you see a green scale with the same blue cursor.
These are Timelines 1, , 3, 4 — custom timelines,
where you can put pictures in any order. If there are
no pictures in a custom timeline, it glows dim blue
after you run the poi. If you ll a timeline with
pictures, you will see them running in the same
order as you put them.
CUSTOM TIMELINE 1-4.
CUSTOM TIMELINE 1, the cursor is on 4th position.

are the rst 3 pictures
that you can run separately from the button. When
you run the poi from this mode, a selected image
doesn’t change, it will be displayed permanently. It
can be useful on photo sessions. Though it's easier
to operate single pictures from the app. Besides,
Ignis Pixel mobile app gives access to all 1 6 slots
for single pictures.

Short clicks move the cursor through 6 levels of brightness. While you are moving the rose
cursor, you see how the brightness of the white scale changes. Higher position of the cursor
causes higher brightness. Conrm required brightness by 1-second push. he poi goes into

Weight adjustment - BubblePoi
Ignis BubblePoi have an option for adjustment weight on the poi and nob
The nob has a few washers inside. Hoo on the lower cap with a nail or something sharp, li e a
little at screwdriver, and ta e o the lower cap. Using a screwdriver of another sharp tip, remove
the washers to lessen the weight of the nob
After 10 minutes of inaction in Standby mode, the poi automatically turns itself o. In
timeline/picture mode the poi wor s until the battery is discharged. When the battery is low, the
LEDs blin s red for 10 seconds. To maintain the lifetime of the battery it’s highly recommended to
charge BubblePoi the same day. 
To extract the beads from spheres, push a section around the hole with a nger.
Weight can be adjusted from 140g (4.9 oz.) to 190g (6.7 oz.).

Using as a juggling
ball (only BubblePoi)
http ://youtu.be/JO_k_xEKT7
Ignis BubblePoi can be also used as
juggling balls. For this, just disconnect
the cord – pull the cord hard, the cord
will go out of the ball. To attach the
cord, lean the low tip of the cord on
some hard surface and press the poi,
holding the hole against the bearing.
Charging
The position of the red light roughly shows 90% charge.
The position of the red light roughly shows 30% charge.
Lithium batteries don’t have a
memory eect, that is why we
recommend charging the poi every
time after using them; don’t wait
till they are totally discharged. If
you charge the poi every time, it
makes the lifetime of the battery
longer.
Avoid deep discharge of your
digital poi! Otherwise, it may result
in loss of battery capacity and
reduction of working time.
To charge the Bubblepoi/JellyPoi, plug
them to a USB-charger or computer —
you will see a red light. You can see
the level of charge by position of the
red light. The level of charge
corresponds to its position. If it’s in the
middle, the poi is 50% charged, if on
top — it refers to full charge, etc.
When the poi is on charge, the red
light slowly moves towards the top.
When the poi is completely charged,
the light nally turns green

Install Ignis Pixel App on your cell phone to get access to get full functions of Ignis product. Turn
on Bluetooth on your phone to connect the device. Ignis mobile app allows to operate the device
via your cellphone (to upload pictures make timelines launch and stop the device change
brightness of pictures and duration). If you have Smart or Ultimate versions you can see detailed
statistics in the app. You can operate more than one device synchonuosly. The app is available for
both Andriod and iphone versions
Bluetooth connection to a cellphone

Taking photos and videos with your poi
You will need a camera with manual settings mode and a ash. Find a dark place, the spinner
should be in deep shadow. Set your camera: ISO 200, f6.3, shutter speed = the speed of your trick,
0,3-0,5 sec usually. Turn the ash on. If poi trail is too bright, use f8.0
Video is a trickier thing. You have to upload images with reduced to 2-25% brightness. This is
necessary to equalize poi luminosity and background brightness to gain correct exposure. You
should see normally exposed poi trails and a performer clearly on the camera screen
Camera. We recommend using a cam with "global shutter", not a "rolling shutter". Nice result
could be on new DSLR cameras like Canon 5D mark4, shutter speed /25 and 25 FPS framerate
works pretty well. Anyway, a camera doesn't see poi trails like a human eye does, so some
post-processing is necessary, for example, Echo eect to make the trail longer as you can see with
your eye
Tips for smartphones. Use "Night" camera mode if you don’t have manual settings. This will make
the shutter speed slower and trails longer. Filming through the sunglasses is a good idea as well.
The best result could be achieved with camera applications with enhanced settings, you need to
adjust aperture and ISO manually

Maintenance
Keep the battery charged. Lithium batteries don’t have a memory eect, that is why we
recommend charging the props every time after using them don’t wait till they are totally
discharged. If you charge them every time, it makes the lifetime of the battery longer. This
advice works for your smartphone, laptop, and for any gadgets with Li-ion batteries inside.
Optimal is to keep your battery above 70%.
Water. The props will be damaged for sure if some water gets inside. If you feel you have no
chance to keep them dry under the rain, for example, take sticky tape and cover USB port,
buttons, and other spots where the water may go inside. Water damage is not covered by the
warranty. Feel free to contact us if issues pop up.
Temperature recommendations
Operating temperature to keep and use pixel equipment is from -20 °C to 50 °C (from -4 °F to
122 °F). On low temperature, the time of working can be diminished due to reduced battery
capacity when a battery is kept on cold. When you come back to room temperature, all
characteristics get back to the normal level.
If you really need to perform in freezing cold, keep the devices in a warm place and take them
right before the show. In this case the batteries don’t have enough time to cool o, and the
working time remains almost the same.
Selfheating by bright modes can also be used when performing in the cold — it doesn’t allow
the battery to freeze during the performance.
Warranty
We give 2-year warranty for our pixel equipment. If during this time some defect or malfunction
comes out, we either x it or make a free replacement of a faulty element. All shipping charges are
laid upon a customer, except cases when a device came initially defected or a failure was revealed
right after using the device.
Ignis pixel equipment is strong enough to survive collisions on normal spinning speed (about 2
revs per sec). Anyway, it cannot be called indestructible. Warranty does not cover damages
caused by hard collisions, drops, and water.
E stimated lifetime of Ignis ixel equipment is 5-10 years and limited only by battery life (like in
mobile phones). If the battery becomes worthless, get in touch with us to replace it with a new
one, or we can tell how to change it by yourself.

[e-mail]
If the equipment shows any failure, rst and foremost reach us out by email
and tell what happened. In most cases, a failure is possible to  on
place, without sending back to us — this will save you a lot of time and money to send it to and
fro.
It’s really important for us to know all weak spots of our equipment, so we could make it even
more reliable and durable. We would appreciate if thus you help us to evolve.
To get in touch with us and ask questions about the props, go to contacts area on our website:
