The built-in IR receiver senses the flash release as well as IR signals from most IR sync transmitters.

The Profoto Air radio system is fully integrated in the D1 Air units, allowing radio synchronization via a Profoto Air Remote or Profoto Air Sync device connected to the camera, or via the Profoto Air USB device connected to a computer with the Profoto Studio Air program.

D1 units without integrated ProfotoAir functionality can be equipped with a ProfotoAir

Remote or Profoto Air Sync device acting as receiver, enabling radio synchronization via another Profoto Air Remote or Profoto Air Sync device connected to the camera.

Ready signaling

Ready signaling is used to indicate when the unit is fully charged. The Ready Button [9a] is used to select one of four ready signaling alternatives:

BEEP:A clear “beep” will sound to indicate that the charging of the unit is completed.

This setting also enables the control panel sounds, which indicates that a button is pressed or the Setting Knob is turned.

DIM:The modeling light will be turned off when the unit is being charged, and turned on again when the charging is completed.This setting also disables the control panel sounds.

BEEP-DIM: The modeling light will be turned off when the unit is being charged, and turned on again when the charging is completed. A clear “beep” will also sound to indicate that the charging is completed. This setting also enables the control panel sounds.

OFF: No ready signal.This setting also disables the control panel sounds.

Ready indicator/Test function

The Ready Indicator [5] is illuminated when the unit is fully charged and ready to flash.

TheTest Button [4] is used to test that all light settings are correct and that the functionality is as expected. When the Test Button [4] is pressed, the unit will flash and the Ready Indicator [5] will be turned off while recharging.When the charging of the unit is completed, the Ready Indicator [5] will be illuminated again.

Flash before ready

The“Flash before ready”function makes it possible to flash before the charging of the unit is ready and fully completed.When a flash is released before the unit is 100% recharged, a long“beep”will sound,indicating an under exposed frame.Naturally the flash light may not correspond fully to the set value.
