memory. This makes it easier to repeat even the most complex set-ups. With the "Profoto
Studio" software you can save an almost unlimited number of set-ups (see page 35-40).
PLEASE NOTE! When deactivating the D4 with the On/Standby Button [3],
the generator automatically saves the last power (of all outlets) and auxiliary
settings in memory A. The A position is used as "safety memory" and can't be
programmed individually. After reactivating the D4 by pushing the On/Standby
Button [3], the generator automatically starts with these settings. To prevent
mistakes, all auxiliary functions (except the radio channel) stored in this memory
are deactivated if the generator was disconnected from the mains. If you want
to use them, it is necessary to activate them again (see page 26).
Additionally it is possible to store three complete setups in memory B, C and D permanently.
