Using the Light

Your PROMASTER VARI-TEMP LED light uses a combination of daylight and 3200º K super bright LEDs to adjust the color temperature of your light to the surrounding ambient light conditions. Matching the color temperature of the existing light allows you to add light to get better exposures while maintaining the natural feel of your scene.

1.Press and hold the Power/Mode button (3) for approximately 3 seconds to turn on the light. The battery indicator lights will come on to indicate the remaining battery power. To turn the light off, press and hold the Power/Mode button for approximately 3 seconds until the light turns off.

2.Select a mode by pressing the mode switch. Continue to press the mode switch to cycle through each mode and choose your desired setting:

Modes: Constant light (default), Fast Flash, SOS (International distress signal), Slow Flash

3.Adjust the light to the desired level of color and brightness using the adjustment buttons (2). The UP▲ and DOWN▼ buttons increase (UP) or decrease (DOWN) the brightness of the yellow light. The LEFT◄ and RIGHT► buttons increase (LEFT) or decrease (RIGHT) the brightness of the white light. Use these controls together to control the color temperature and the overall intensity of the light.

Note:

1.As the battery gets weaker, the light output will be reduced. Please be sure to use a fully charged battery and in order to maintain the maximum output of the light, replace the battery when the power level is low.

2.After use be sure to set the power switch to “OFF”.

3.When not in use, remove the battery and store in a cool dry location.

4.Before storing the light, be sure it is cool to the touch. Storing a hot light could cause fire.

Remote Control

The supplied MR6 remote control can control all of the functions on the light as well as the shutter release function of CANON, NIKON, SONY, PENTAX, and KONICA/MINOLTA cameras that support an infrared remote.
