AODELAN E4 User Manual Download Page 9

Remote Control – Head Control; Model Control; Energy Adjustment 

1.  E4 can remotely radio control all flashes with built-in AODELAN radio system functionality. 
2.  The Channel settings on the E4 unit must match the Channel settings of the flashes. 
3.  Press the Head Button [7] to turn on/off the heads in the selected group. 

  If the heads in a group are turned off, "--" will be shown after the group letter. 

4.  Press the Model Button [9] to turn on/off the modeling light in the selected group. 

  If the modeling light in a group is turned on, “

” will be shown in the MODEL column after the group 

letter. 

5.  Press the Energy Adjustment Buttons [3] to adjust the energy level for the group in relation to the other 

groups (TTL mode) or the energy level for the group (M mode). ** 

  <+> represents increase. 

  <-> represents decrease. 

  Short press Energy Adjustment Button (< 2 seconds) to adjust the flash output energy level in 1/10 

f-stop increments. 

  Long press Energy Adjustment Button (> 2 seconds) to adjust the flash output energy level in 1 f-stop 

increments. 

**Since energy adjustments work differently in TTL mode and Manual mode, we recommend to carefully read 

the detailed instructions for both modes in the section of “Operating Instructions” in this user manual. 

 

Command Confirmation

 (only in M mode) 

1.  If the output energy of a flash has been set to maximum or minimum level, then the flash cannot continue to 

increase or decrease its output energy as commanded by the E4. 

2.  At the point E4 will make continuous and short beeps to signal that the command was not executed. 
3.  The energy of all flashes in the group will remain unchanged. 
 

Test Function 

1.  Press the Test Button [5] to manually transmit a sync signal for remote flash triggering to verify expected 

functionality. 

 

Beep 

1.  Press and hold the Channel Button [8] until the E4 makes two short beeps to turn on or off the E4 button 

beep. 

2.  There will be a long beep when E4 is turned on regardless of whether the beeper is turned on or not. 
3.  Some functions are not supported in certain situations; there will be no beep when the corresponding button 

is pressed even if the beeper is turned on. For example, selecting a group and turning off its head, then 
there will be no beep when the Energy Adjustment Buttons [3] or Model Button [9] is pressed. 

 

Auto Power Off 

1.  E4 automatically turns off after 30 minutes of inactivity.   
2.  Each time after the E4 is turned on by pressing the Power Button [11], the auto power off function will be 

enabled. 

3.  To deactivate the auto power off function, press and hold the Energy Adjustment Button [3] “+” while the E4 

is off, then press and hold the Power Button [11] at the same time. Deactivation is confirmed by two short 
beeps.
