- Power Connection:
- AC Power (Indoor Use): Connect the power adapter to the DC port on the LED light and then plug it into a wall outlet.
- Battery Power (Outdoor Use): Insert two compatible NP-F series batteries (e.g., NP-F950 or higher, not included) into the battery slots on the back of the light panel.

Operating Instructions
1. Power On/Off
Locate the ON/OFF switch on the light panel and toggle it to power the unit on or off. When using the remote, setting brightness to 0% will effectively turn off the light output, but the unit remains powered.
2. Adjusting Brightness and Color Temperature
Use the adjust knob on the back of the light panel or the wireless remote control to modify settings.
- Brightness: Rotate the knob or use the remote to adjust brightness from 0% to 100%.
- Color Temperature: Rotate the knob or use the remote to adjust color temperature from 3000K (warm) to 8000K (cool).

3. Wireless Remote Control
The included wireless remote allows for convenient adjustment of light parameters from a distance.
- Channel/Group Selection: Use the 'CH' and 'GP' buttons on the remote to select the desired channel (1-48) and group (A-F).
- Parameter Adjustment: Use the remote's controls to adjust brightness and color temperature.
Note:
- The remote cannot physically turn off the light; it only sets brightness to 0%. Manually turn off the light using the switch on the panel.
- For wireless control, ensure both the light and the remote are set to the same channel and group.

4. Master and Slave Function
Any K80 light can act as a master to control other K80 lights. To use this function:
- Set all lights you wish to control to the same channel and group.
- Adjust settings on one light (the master), and the other lights (slaves) in the same channel and group will synchronize.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the light panel and remote control. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Storage: When not in use, store the kit in the provided carrying bag in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
- Battery Care: If using NP-F batteries, remove them from the light when storing for extended periods to prevent leakage.
- Heat Dissipation: Ensure the ventilation holes on the light panel are not obstructed during operation to prevent overheating.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on. | No power, loose connection, or depleted batteries. | Check power adapter connection or ensure batteries are charged and correctly inserted. Verify the ON/OFF switch is in the 'ON' position. |
| Remote control not working. | Incorrect channel/group, remote batteries depleted, or obstruction. | Ensure the remote and light are on the same channel and group. Replace remote batteries. Remove any obstructions between the remote and the light's sensor. |
| Lights not synchronizing (Master/Slave). | Lights are on different channels or groups. | Verify all lights intended for synchronization are set to the identical channel and group. |
| Light output is inconsistent or flickers. | Low battery power or unstable power supply. | If using batteries, replace or recharge them. If using AC power, check the power source for stability. |
