5.1 Mounting the Light Panel
- Attach the provided light bracket to the 1/4-inch screw thread at the bottom of the HR672S light panel.
- Secure the light bracket onto a standard light stand or tripod using the 1/4-inch or 3/8-inch screw adapter. Tighten securely.

5.2 Powering the Light Panel
The HR672S can be powered in two ways:
- AC Power: Connect the DC 15V power adapter to the DC input port on the back of the light panel. Plug the adapter into a suitable wall outlet (110-240V).
- Battery Power: Insert two fully charged NP-F series batteries (e.g., NP-F970) into the battery slots on the back of the light panel. Ensure they click into place. The light will automatically draw power from the batteries when AC power is not connected or is interrupted.
