OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Charging
Never charge device unattended!
1. Connect a micro-USB cable from a USB charging source
(500mA minimum) to the XPV device via the port near the
bottom. The indicator next to the port lights red when charg-
ing and green when charging is complete.
2. The device can be used while charging. If the battery
gauge reads very low, it may need to be charged for at least

10 minutes before use, especially at high wattage
settings.
3. Normal charge times from empty are 3-5 hours
for the XPV (standard battery).
4. The XPV should be almost fully charged upon
delivery from Protovapor. It can be used immedi-
ately.
General operation
1. Attach atomizer device containing e-juice to the
connector at the top of the unit. DO NOT OVER-
TIGHTEN!
2. Adjust wattage of device using up/down con-
trol switch under the fire button. Start low if you
do not know the wattage at which your atomizer
works best.
3. Depress firing button and hold while drawing on
the atomizer device.
DNA 30D INFORMATION
Your XPV is powered by the DNA 30D board by
Evolv Vapor.
Display information
Watt setting (W): The power level currently set
on the DNA 30D.
Battery indicator (Icon): The current state of
charge of the battery.
Volts display (V): The current or most recent out-
put voltage being supplied to the atomizer.
Ohms display: (Ω)The resistance of the atomizer
attached to the device. This is measured only when
the unit is supplying power to the atomizer. At
other times, it shows the most recent measurement.
Other modes
Locked mode: Pressing the fire button five times
with less than .7 seconds between presses will
cause the device to enter Locked mode. In Locked
mode, the device will not fire and the output power
will not adjust accidentally. While in Locked mode,
the screen will be off, except that pressing a but-
ton will show “Locked, Click 5X”. To exit Locked
mode, press the fire button 5 times.
Stealth mode: While locked, pressing the fire and
down control simultaneously for five seconds will
switch to stealth mode. In this mode the display
is off. It will still show error messages and the
“Locked, Click 5X” advisory. To switch back to nor-
mal display mode, from locked mode press the fire
and down control simultaneously for 5 seconds.
This setting is stored to internal flash memory, and
remains if power is removed.
Right Mode and Left Mode: While locked, hold-
ing the fire and up control simultaneously for 5
seconds flips the display. This allows for maximum
flexibility, as well as accommodating left handed
vapers. This setting is stored to internal flash
memory, and remains if power is removed.
Power Locked mode: Pushing the up/down con-
trol switch in for 4 seconds will place the device in
Power Locked mode. In this mode, the mod will op-
erate normally, but you will not be able to change
the power setting. This mode prevents accidental
power level changes. To exit Power Locked mode,
push the control switch in for 4 seconds.
Error Messages
The DNA 30D will indicate a variety of error
states. Note: It is normal for the DNA 30D to oc-
casionally display one or two error messages upon
wake-up from sleep. These can be ignored.
Check Atomizer: The DNA 30D does not detect
an atomizer, or the atomizer has shorted out.
Check Battery: The battery is below 3.1 volts. It
probably needs to be charged.
Weak Battery: The battery sags excessively when
firing. This typically means the user is not using a
high rate battery, or the battery is old and de-
graded. It can also mean the battery is not making
good contact.
Too Hot: The DNA 30D has onboard temperature
sensing. It will shut down and display this message
if the internal temperature becomes excessive.
PROTOVAPOR XPV

Too low power setting: The DNA 30D puts out
a minimum of about 3.2-3.5 volts. With low power
settings (7 to 8 watts) and low resistance atom-
izers (below 2 ohms) the DNA will sometimes be
unable to provide a low enough voltage output to
be power regulating. If this is the case, the Ohms
display will be flashing. The device will still operate.
Device resets: If the battery is not able to power
the device at the desired setting, or the battery
is excessively discharged, the device may go im-
mediately into a low voltage shutdown. If firing the
device causes the screen to blank out and then
display the welcome screen, you should charge
your battery. This is especially common at power
settings above 20 watts.
Auto power down
The screen will be at full brightness while firing. Af-
ter 15 seconds with no button presses, the screen
will dim. 2 minutes after the last button press, the
screen will fade out and the device will go to sleep
mode. Pressing any button will turn the device and
display back on.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Low-profile 510 Connector
The XPV has a non-adjustable atomizer connec-
tor pin. If the atomizer device does not contact the
connector pin correctly, the XPV will give a “Check
Atomizer” error. Check for liquid pooling in the pin
area, and occasionally wipe the connector clean of
juice and condensation. Most atomizers can screw
flush with the connector but those that have center
pins that extend far below outer threading may bot-
tom out. Do not force the atomizer to screw down,
damage to the connector’s insulator may result.
Maintenance
The XPV requires no regular maintenance. The de-
vice should operate trouble-free through the life of
the battery. Please take care not to allow e-liquid,
water or other foreign substances to enter the
device through the controls, USB port, etc. Casing
can be cleaned with a dry or damp cloth if needed.
Do not use abrasive or caustic cleaning products.
The display screen is protected by a plastic cover.
Clean this cover with a microfiber lens cloth. Blow
off any foreign objects or dust on the surface first,
or scratching could result.
Occasionally, check the tightness of the screws in
the top and bottom of the casing.
Replacing battery
The battery of the XPV is connected with a push
connector. It can be replaced without special tools.
This is intended to only be done when the battery
reaches the end of its life. New batteries with ap-
propriate connectors are available from Protovapor.
Protovapor will install new batteries purchased from
us free of charge (customer covers shipping).
LIMITED WARRANTY
The XPV is covered for a period of 90 days from
purchase against defects in workmanship and
materials. Internal components including the DNA
30D board are covered for a period of 1 year from
purchase.
Repairs
Repairs on all components of the XPV are available
from Protovapor.
