The frequencies are evenly spread 11 15 over the entire frequency band, to optimize 16 reliable functionality. The large number of 12 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 radio synchronization and/or remote control of one or several generators, the same radio channel shall be set on all generators and Profoto Air devices. Channel selection on the Profoto Air Remote and Profoto Air Sync devices is made with the Channel Button [2]. The Channel Indicator [1] corresponding to the selected radio channel (1­8) is illuminated. Synchronization All Profoto Air products that have the same radio channel set will be synchronized simultaneously. 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. Group selection enables remote control of a group of lamp heads, for example the background light. It also allows a large light bank with several lamp heads to be controlled as one light source.
