Introduction

1. Equipped with multi-channel wireless remote control, which can off-camera adjust the luminance and power switch, allows you to operate more easily.
2. APP can be downloaded from the official website, control the LED video light through the mobile phone, and read the current luminance and channel of the LED video light. It can respectively control 8 groups of luminance and a power switch of the video light, allowing you to control the LED video light as needed.
3. ¥N300 III is formed by 150 LED lamp beads with 3200k color temperature and another 150 LED lamp beads with 5600k color temperature, which are high-quality lamp beads of extra-large luminous chips, with higher luminance in the same energy consumption. The color temperature can be adjusted from 3200-5600K as needed, with more practical use.
4. Adopts the Yongnuo proprietary LED driving technology, definitely does not appear corrugated, stroboscopic, or other negative phenomena when shooting.
5. YN300 III adopts the encoder digital dimming which can be separately adjusted to rough dimming and fine dimming modes, more convenient to use.
6. YN300 III adopts LED digital display screen, so the power output will be more intuitive.
7. Supports external DC power input, which is convenient for your long shooting(the power adapter is optional).
8. Provides two color temperature plates, suitable for use under different environments.

 Installation and fixed

1. Install Battery
   When installing the lithium battery, please put the battery into the battery container in the direction shown by the arrow.
   Note: NP-F series battery Is applicable, please remove the battery when not in use.
   b. When removing the lithium batteries, please press the battery lock and then take out the lithium batteries.

2. Camera Lamp Installation
   First fasten the lamp base to the bottom of the product with the adjusting screw and then adjust the angle of the lamp as needed.

3. The camera lamp can be fastened by the following methods according to your requirement:
   a. Fix the DSLR/Camera hot shoe.@ Screw the hot shoe fastening © knob to the top in the direction of the arrow.
   ©Insert the lamp into the camera/camera hot shoe base in the direction of the arrow.
   © Tighten up the hot shoe knob in the direction of the arrow.
   b. Place it on the desktop or on a plane, and use it with the miniature stand attached.©Rotate the hot-shoe lock knob to the top in the direction of the arrow.
   push the metal hot shoe on the lamp foot in the miniature stand in the direction of the arrow.
   :.Fasten the video light to the tripod directly
   C) Screw up the hot-shoe lock knob in the direction of the arrow.
   d.Fasten the video light to the handle attached

4. Start-up and adjust the brightness
   a . Press the power switch and the LED camera light lit, rightwards rotate to incur ease the luminance, and leftwards rotate to reduce the luminance.
   b, Fine/Coarse Button
   Divided into coarse and fine adjusting modes, which will be more convenient for use.
   Press the Fine/Coarse button to conduct to Fine/Coarse adjustment, when the indicator light of Coarse is bright, it will enter into coarse adjusting mode, the luminance will be adjusted with 10% as an adjusting grade. Then press the button to switch to fine adjusting, the luminance will be adjusted with 1% as an adjusting grade.

5. Color temperature Adjustment
   Press the 3200K/5600K button to switch the color temperature, the color temperature can be adjusted from 3200-5600K as needed. Press the button until the indicator light is bright on the 3200k, and rotate the luminance adjustment knob to adjust the light of 3200K color temperature; Then press the button to switch until the indicator light is bright on the 5600k, rotate the luminance adjustment knob to adjust the light of the 5600K color temperature.

6. Test of Electric Quantity
   Press the Batt electric quantity testing button, the readings show the percentage of remaining battery power of two batteries. The readings can be divided into PO-P9 nine
   grades, which indicates 0%-90% of the electric quantity. For example, in reading P3 as the picture shows indicates the electric quantity is 30%(Note: the power test with low luminance is different from that with high luminance, thus the service time is based on the current luminance).

7.  Channel Switching
   Press the channel switching button CH can switch the remote receiver channels, and the displayed screen appears from H1 to H8, assuming the channel of the video light switch to H2 (as the picture shown below), the channel of the remote controller will be also adjusted to CH2 transmit channel(as the right picture shown), then the remote controller can control the video light. If you have more than one unit of the same model, the luminance and power switch can be controlled by grouping, at most divided into eight groups. (There are numbers 1-8 on the remote control panel, which correspond to the corresponding channels, switch the channel through CH +/CH-). Adjust the channel of the remote controller to the same channel as the video light by adjusting CH+/CH-f the remote controller

8. External Power Supply It is recommended to use a YONGNUO power adapter with YN300 III to obtain lasting service time. When using an external power supply, the video light will stop the battery power supply automatically and will not get the battery charged. The external power supply interface outside is positive and the interface inside is negative. The input voltage is 12V and the electric current is 5A.Note: If YN300 III is defective when it is used with power adapters of other brands, YN300 III will no longer be guaranteed for repair.

IV.Color temperature Filters YN300 III comes with two pieces of CT filters. Simply insert the CT filters into the side slot to meet your requirement in different circumstances.
V.Remote Dimming Mode The wireless remote controller attached can adjust the luminous intensity and control the switches of YN300 HI. The maximum remote controlling distance is up to 15 meters.

VIII. Failure Analysis and Troubleshooting
When using this product, you may encounter the following problems:

external power supply
Damaged circuit board| Depot repair
Inadequate or low luminance at the greatest luminous intensity| Low battery| Install new batteries or re-charge the batteries
Inaccurate battery capacity test; low battery in high luminance and full battery in low luminance.| The battery capacity indicates the length of time available for use in the current luminance. Higher luminance required more power and the length of time available for use will be shortened, so the battery capacity shown gets lower| Normal phenomenon and no measure needed
The video light can’t be controlled remotely.| Too far away| Ensure the remote control distance is no more than 15 meters
Remote control and LED light are on different channels| pls refer to User Manual to reset the channel
The pilot lamp on the remote controller is dimming| Low battery| Replace two AAA batteries
