• The AcuteB2 600 AirS 344MHz LiFe and the AcuteB2 600 AirS 433MHz LiFe
generators have an integrated radio receiver for synchronization via the Pocket
Wizard device.
Always check the manuals of the camera and synchro device about the shortest possible
sync times before taking pictures!
radio operation
The Profoto Air radio receiver is turned on/off with the Radio On/Off Button [12].
The Pocket Wizard radio receiver is always in operation while the generator is powered
on. When the Pocket Wizard system is used, it is recommended to turn off the Profoto Air
system.
For best radio operation (Profoto Air and Pocket Wizard), do the following:
• Keep power, sync and lamp head cords away from the antenna (Pocket Wizard
Antenna [4], Profoto Air Antenna [18]).
• Maintain line of sight between the transmitter (Profoto Air Sync/Remote or Pocket
Wizard) and the generator whenever possible.
• When hiding the generator from view, try to not hide it behind or against metal or
water filled objects as this affects radio range.
• For Pocket Wizard: keep the transmitter’s antenna parallel with the generator
antenna.
channel selection – Profoto Air
Channel selection is used to select one of eight specific frequencies in the 2.4 GHz band.
The frequencies are evenly spread over the entire frequency band, to optimize reliable
functionality. The large number of 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.
Channel selection on the generator is made with the Channel Button [13]. The Channel
Indicator [14] corresponding to the selected radio channel (1-8) is illuminated.
channel and Zone selection – Pocket Wizard
The Pocket Wizard radio receiver has a learning function, which means that during 30
seconds from power on it will try to detect a trigger signal on any of the 32 channels.
If a trigger signal is detected, the radio receiver will lock to that channel. If no trigger is
detected, the radio receiver will use the previously used channel. Actual photo shooting
with radio should not be performed during the 30 second learn period, since the result may
be unpredictable due to the channel learning process.
