Functions

Transmit/Receive mode selection

The Mode Button [4] is used to set the Profoto Air device to transmitter or receiver. The

Transmit Indicator [3] and the Receive Indicator [7] indicates the selected mode.

Channel selection

Channel selection is used to select one of eight specific frequencies in the 2.4 GHz band.

The frequencies are evenly spread over the entire frequency band, to optimize reliable

functionality. The large number of radio channels makes it possible to select a channel that

is not interfered by other photographers using Profoto Air, or by WLAN and Bluetooth devices

and other radio equipment operating on the same widely used 2.4 GHz frequency band.

For synchronization and/or remote control of one or several generators, the same radio

channel shall be set on all generators and on the Profoto Air device(s). For remote camera

release, the same channel shall be set on both Profoto Air devices (transmitter and receiver.)

Channel selection on the Profoto Air Sync and Profoto Air Remote devices is made with the

Channel Button [2]. The Channel Indicator [1] corresponding to the selected radio channel

(1-8) is illuminated.

Group selection

Groups are used to allow remote radio control of selected generator lamp heads. All

lamp heads that are assigned to the same group will be controlled simultaneously. The

lamp heads on a generator can be assigned to different groups. Lamp heads on different

generators can be assigned to the same group.

Group selection on the Profoto Air Remote device is made with the Group Button [15]. The

Group Indicator [16] corresponding to the selected radio group (A-F) is illuminated. The

Master Button [12] is used to select all groups.

Remote control

Remote radio control is available for generators with built-in Profoto Air functionality.

For remote radio control, both the Channel and Group settings on the Profoto Air Remote

device must match the Channel and Group settings of the lamp heads in the group.

The Head Button 0 [10] is used to turn off the flash lamp heads.

The Model Button 1 [8] is used to turn on the modeling light.
