Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Setting Your Lights to Slave Mode

1. Turn on all lights by pressing the power button.
2. Activate Slave Mode on your lights:
   • Double-press the power button until the LED indicator blinks quickly twice.
3. Set Each Light to the Same RF Group:
   • Press the power button once repeatedly until the indicator shows your desired RF color group (Red, Green, Yellow, or Blue).
   • For example, set each light to the Red group.

Step 2: Choosing and Setting Up the Master Light

1. Choose one light as your Master (any of your Mini RF3 lights can serve as the Master).
2. Set this chosen Master light to RF Mode:
   • Double-press the power button until the LED indicator shows a solid color (no blinking).
3. Match the RF Group on the Remote:
   • Use the included remote control and press the RF Group button until it flashes the same color as your chosen group (Red, Green, Yellow, or Blue).

Step 3: Controlling Your Lights

Using the Master Light:

• With your remote, you can select any color or lighting mode for your Master light.
• Once your selection is made, double-press the power button again on the Master light to enter Master Mode (the LED indicator will blink once quickly).

Your Slave lights will now instantly match the color or mode set on the Master.

Changing Colors or Modes After Setup

To make changes once your lights are running:

1. Switch Master back to RF Mode (double-press power button until solid LED indicator).
2. Use the remote to select new settings.
3. Re-activate Master Mode (double-press again until the LED indicator blinks once).

All slave lights will immediately follow the changes.

Troubleshooting & FAQs

Q: Why aren't my lights synchronizing?

• Ensure all lights (Master and Slaves) are set to the same RF color group.

Q: Can I use different RF groups simultaneously?

• To synchronize lights, they must be set to the same RF group. However, different groups can be controlled separately if desired.

Q: How do I change the RF group?

• Single-press the power button repeatedly until the LED indicator matches your desired RF group color.
