RF
From the AP menu, press the MENU button to access the RF (RF Group) menu. When the RF function is enabled, you can use the remote to control the units.
There are four individual 2.4GHz groups, each represented by a color: rF1 (red), rF2 (green), rF3 (yellow), rF4 (blue).
Remote Only:
To use the RF function, first press the ENTER button to switch the units from MASTER mode (image 1) to SLAVE mode (image 2).
Use the UP/DOWN buttons to select one of the 4 RF groups.
In this example, the units are set to rF1 (red). This means the same RF GROUP; rF1 (red) should be selected on the remote.
Refer to the remote control functions section and diagrams 3 and 4 below. You can now use the remote to control all the lights.
With Wireless Groups:
Set all units to the same wireless group id (refer to Wireless Group ID Settings section).
For this example the wireless group ID is 5 (pink).
Select one unit to be the master. Set it to RF mode, in this case rF1.
All other units in the group should be set to DMX/SLAVE mode (refer to the DMX/SLAVE section).

- You can adjust an individual color's brightness (image 3) or multiple colors at once.
Please note: If you have more than one color "on", it will affect the final color output. For example, if you have red and white on together, the color you see will be a mixture of white and red (image 4). As you add or subtract colors, or adjust the colors' brightness, the hue of the light output will change. Image 4 shows the color output when UV is added to the red and white mix.
