Unboxing Your VOLTRA I: First-Time Setup Guide

A quick guide to setting up your VOLTRA I

Updated over a week ago

What You'll Find Inside

Your VOLTRA I package includes:

  • VOLTRA I unit

  • 65W USB-C charger with 1m cable

  • Reinforced Screen Protector

  • Carabiner hook for attaching handles and accessories

  • Quick start guide

If you ordered a mount separately (Sliding Rack Mount, Adaptive Rack Mount, Strap Mount, Adaptive Bar Mount, or others), it arrives with its own hardware and installation instructions.

Charging Before First Use

Fully charge your VOLTRA I before your first session.

To charge:

  1. Connect the USB-C cable to the port on the device

  2. Plug into a power outlet

  3. Check the LED indicator: amber = charging, green = fully charged

Charge times:

  • ~2 hours with the included 65W charger

  • ~1 hour with a 100W charger (VOLTRA supports up to 140W)

A quick note: VOLTRA I charges only when no training mode is active. Get in the habit of plugging it in after your sessions rather than trying to charge during a workout.

The battery features smart charging algorithms designed to extend its lifespan, so you don't need to worry about keeping it between 20-80% or any other battery management — just plug it in when you're done.

Powering On

Follow along this video tutorial for detailed instructions on powering on/off your VOLTRA I:

  1. Short press the power button once.

  2. Long press the power button until you see the light slowly flashing green (amber or red depending on battery level) and the screen powers on.

  3. You'll hear an audible beep.

Your VOLTRA I is now ready to use.

* Please note that the factory default setting caps the weight limit at 100lbs to protect new users. If you're comfortable and ready for full performance response. Changing Beginner Mode to Sport Mode (Settings > Advanced), and you can the maximum weight and cable speed limits.

Mounting Your VOLTRA I

Install your mount to your rack or anchor point, if using the Strap Mount, or lay down your travel platform following the instructions included with the mount. Make sure it's securely attached before proceeding.

  1. Position VOLTRA I over the mount and align it. Mount it horizontally or vertically.

  2. The device will lock itself into place automatically — you'll hear a whirling sound confirmation.

To unmount:

  1. Press and hold both the power button above the screen and the button on the handle.

  2. The unlocking sound indicates successful unmounting. Twist the unit off of the mount to fully remove.

Activate Your VOLTRA I

There are two ways to activate your VOLTRA I: via Wi-Fi or via the Beyond+ iOS app.

  1. Wi-Fi activation:

While VOLTRA I works fully standalone — no internet required to train — connecting to Wi-Fi enables automatic firmware updates that add features and improve performance over time.

a. Tap other activate methods.

b. Connect the device to a Wi-Fi network.

i. Choose your network from the list.

ii. Enter your password using the on-screen keyboard.

c. Tap "Next," read the instructions, and then tap "Agree and Activate" to complete the activation process.

2. Beyond+ app activation:

Use the optional Beyond+ iOS app to connect to and activate the device.

a. Download then open the Beyond+ app on your mobile device.

b. Connect to the VOLTRA I device by selecting its corresponding name displayed on the screen.

c. Navigate back to the main page within the app.

d. Click the "Activate VOLTRA" button, read and agree to the disclaimer and safety guidelines, and then tap "Agree" to finalize the activation.

Once connected, you can use the Beyond+ app to adjust resistance remotely, view training data (reps, sets, power output, range of motion), create custom workouts, and export session data as CSV files.

Apply the Screen Protector

  1. Thoroughly clean the screen to remove any dust or debris.

  2. Peel off the protective film and align it carefully with the screen before applying.

  3. Gently press down to expel any air bubbles between the screen protector and the screen.

*Please note: If a large air bubble remains, you can try placing a moderately weighted object on top for a while. If it still doesn’t go away or affects use, contact us at [email protected].

Firmware Update

We recommend updating your VOLTRA I to the latest firmware to receive the latest feature upgrades and user experience enhancements.

  1. Before running a firmware update, make sure the device's battery level is above 20% and that it's connected to WiFi

  2. Navigate to Settings > General > Firmware Update

  3. Tap Download and Install, then wait for the download to complete
