Physical Assembly
• The Key Light panel has 4 mounting screw holes - one on each edge. You can choose the one that best meets your needs.
• Screw Key Light directly onto the pole via the integrated socket and screw. Extend the pole to your preferred height.
• A non-slip rubber washer is included for mounting a camera, camcorder, etc. It is recommended that you remove it when mounting Key Light.
• It is normal for the pole to shake when fully extended.
• Warning - Do Not Overtighten
• When loosening a grip on the pole, it might take a small amount of effort to start the process. However, you shouldn't have to use too much force.
• Push the button to engage the ratchet when tightening.
• Tighten the clamp to your desk, but do not overtighten.
• Connect the power supply and plug it into a power outlet.
Software and Pairing
Key Light can be paired to a 2.4 Ghz Wi-Fi network using a macOS, Windows, Android or iOS device that features a Wi-Fi connection.
You only need to pair Key Light once. After that, it will be connected to your network, even after you turn it off and on again many times. Then, you can control it via software.
Key Light is controlled using the Control Center software for macOS, iOS or Windows.
