Connectivity

A2 comes with built-in Profoto AirX connectivity. AirX is the 3rd
generation of wireless Profoto connectivity, after Air and AirTTL.

AirX supports:
• Wireless Air and AirTTL functionality in Profoto Air and AirTTL-

enabled remotes.

• Dedicated AirX functionality in AirX-enabled Profoto remotes and

apps.

Set up connectivity with Profoto remotes

These instructions only cover the basic setup on A2. For detailed
operating instructions, refer to the user guide for your Profoto remote.
1. On the A2 settings menu, set Air to ON.
2. On the A2 settings menu, select the same channel that is set on

your Profoto remote.

3. On the A2 settings menu, select a group (A-F).

Auto (TTL) with Profoto remotes

Auto (TTL) requires no additional setup on the A2, once the Air channel
and group setup is done. Just switch between Auto (TTL) and Manual
(MAN) on your Profoto remote to select if you want the remote to adjust
the flash automatically or if you want to control it manually.

A2 will keep the flash power set by Auto (TTL) when you switch the
remote to Manual (MAN). This makes it easy to use Auto (TTL) as your
“light meter” to get a good starting point for manual adjustments.

When Auto (TTL) is activated by the remote, the

AUTO indicator

temporarily appears on the display [5].

When an Auto (TTL) group adjustment is made on the remote, the
AUTO indicator, including the offset, temporarily appears on the energy
display [5].
