4.1. പവർ ഓൺ/ഓഫ്

Locate the power switch (often combined with the backlight control) and slide it to the 'ON' position to power on the receiver. The LCD display will illuminate. To power off, slide the switch to 'OFF'.

4.2. Channel (CH) Selection

Press the 'CH' button to cycle through the available 32 channels. Ensure the channel on your R2 receiver matches the channel set on your Flashpoint R2 transmitter (e.g., XPro-S, X2T-S) and any other R2 system flashes you intend to trigger.

4.3. Group (GR) Selection

Press the 'GR' button to cycle through the available 5 groups (A, B, C, D, E). Assign your flashes to different groups to control them independently from your transmitter.
