II. Getting Started Installing the batteries 1. 2. 3. Open the battery compartment cover from the back of E4. Install 2 AAA batteries in accordance with the illustrated direction inside the battery compartment. Close the battery compartment cover in place. Precautions for Use The battery level is shown in the upper right corner of the Display [1]. When the battery is low, or will be shown in the Display [1], replace the batteries with new ones. Turning E4 on/off 1. 2.
III. Basic Functions and Buttons Channel Selection 1. 2. Chanel selection is used to select one of eight specific frequencies in the 2.4GHz band. Press the Channel Button [8] to select the channel. The currently selected channel is shown in the CHANNEL section on the Display [1]. Group Selection 1. 2. 3. 4. Groups are used to allow remote radio control of selected flashes. All flashes that are assigned to the same group under the same channel will be controlled by E4 simultaneously.
Remote Control – Head Control; Model Control; Energy Adjustment 1. 2. 3. E4 can remotely radio control all flashes with built-in AODELAN radio system functionality. The Channel settings on the E4 unit must match the Channel settings of the flashes. Press the Head Button [7] to turn on/off the heads in the selected group. If the heads in a group are turned off, "--" will be shown after the group letter. 4. Press the Model Button [9] to turn on/off the modeling light in the selected group.

Release the buttons, E4 is turned on and reset to factory settings. The factory settings of E4 are - TTL mode, 1st (First-curtain synchronization), Channel 1, all groups, the relationship between the energy levels for group A, B and C is all 0.0. Other functions 1.
IV. Operating Instructions Precautions for Use Before starting all of the following operations please turn off E4 as well as the camera and flashes which work with E4, and turn on all units after the connection is completed.

Set the E4 and the flashes to the same radio channel.
Operation in TTL mode (Through the lens, Automatic mode) In TTL mode the camera dictates the light output of the flashes. If more than one light group is used the relationships between the energy levels for group A, B and C can be adjusted. This can, for example, be used to achieve more light on one side of the object. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Press the A, B or C Group Button [4] to select the group you want to adjust.
Operation in M mode (Manual mode) With the E4 set to M mode, the light output for groups A, B and C can be adjusted manually. By alternating between TTL and M mode, you can test your way to the perfect light. 1. 2. 3. 4. Press the A, B or C Group Button [4] to select the corresponding group, or to select all groups. Use the Energy Buttons [3] to adjust the light output for the group.
