Press the Energy Button > 2 seconds to adjust the energy level in 1 f-stop increments.
If the energy level of any flash lamp head in the group is in minimum or maximum position,
all energy levels will remain unchanged; see section Command confirmation below.
Master mode
In Master mode, the same remote control command is sent to all Groups on the selected
Channel.
With the Master Button [12] on the Profoto Air Remote device, all Groups are selected and
will be affected by the remote control commands.
Command confirmation
If an energy level cannot be set by the generator as commanded, because the energy of a
lamp head is set to minimum or maximum level, the Profoto Air Remote device will make
an acoustic sound to signal that the command was not executed. The energy level of all
flash lamp heads in the group will remain unchanged.
Test function
The Test Button [6] is used to manually transmit a sync signal, verifying expected functionality,
for remote camera release or flash triggering.
The Test Button [6] is also used to transmit the release signal, for remote camera release.
If the camera is set up in single mode, there will be one single shot when the Test Button [6]
is pressed. If the camera is set up for continuous mode, the camera will continue shooting
as long as the Test Button [6] is held down. Because of a lag effect, the camera might take
a few more shots after the Test Button [6] has been released.
Fast mode
The Profoto Air Sync and Profoto Air Remote devices deliver sync signals with a very short
delay. In Fast mode, the delay is even shorter. Fast mode is only recommended when
working with very short camera shutter times, as the battery consumption is considerably
higher. In Fast mode, the remote control functionality (available in Profoto Air Remote) is
disabled and inoperative. For more information, see last section on Additional functions.
Auto Power Off
The Profoto Air device is automatically turned off after 30 minutes of inactivity. The
Auto Power Off function is possible to disable. For more information, see last section on
Additional functions.
Connections
When the Profoto Air Sync or Profoto Air Remote device is used as a transmitter to remotely
synchronize flash generators and speedlights, the device shall be connected to the camera
via the Hot Shoe Connector [19] or via a cable connected to the In Connector [17].
