Handling
Battery mounting
1. To mount the battery, fit the battery pack into the B1 unit and push firmly until the
battery pack locks in place. Make sure there is a "click" sound, indicating that the
battery pack is properly secured.
2. To dismount the battery, first switch off the B1 unit. Press the Battery release button [9]
and pull out the battery pack.
Battery charging
For optimal performance, the battery should be fully charged prior to usage. The battery
14
can be charged from any charge level. Only use the Profoto Battery Charger 2.8A, Profoto
Battery Charger 4.5A, or Profoto Car Charger 1.8A.
If the battery has not been used for a long time, the Profoto Battery Charger 2.8A should
preferably be used. The Profoto Battery Charger 4.5A could be used, but puts more wear on
a deeply discharged battery. The Profoto Car Charger 1.8A should not be used in this case.
1. Dismount the battery.
2. Connect the battery charger to the battery pack.
3. Check that the battery charger indicates that charging is in progress.
4. When the battery charger indicates that the charging is completed, it is recommended
to disconnect the battery charger and remove the battery from the charger.
Stand mounting
1. Fit the Stand adapter [3] to a light stand and secure it with the Clamp screw [4].
2. The B1 unit can be directed upwards/downwards when the Tilt-lock knob [2] is
loosened. Fasten the Tilt-lock knob [2] when the unit is correctly directed.
Mounting Profoto Light Shaping Tools
The B1's built-in reflector creates a wide and even light spread with a high output. In
addition, the B1 is compatible with more than 120 light shaping tools, which can be used
to shape its already beautiful light into almost any light you can imagine.
All tools with standard reflector mount (rubber collar with clasp)
Most reflectors are equipped with Profoto's unique clamp mechanism, which makes them
easy to mount and allows you to shape the light by simply sliding the reflector back and
forth along the zoom scale [6].
1. Unlock the clasp on the reflector.
2. Slide the reflector onto the B1. Use the zoom scale [6] to place the reflector in the
desired position.
3. Secure by locking the clasp on the reflector.
