SpectroLED INTRODUCTION

THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING GENARAY

The Genaray Baton is a bicolor wand-style LED light that provides even illumination along its entire length. The Baton's simplicity and portability is surpassed only by its versatility. It packs up in its own carry bag and is light enough to take anywhere. Use it as a key light, an accent light, or for background ambience. As a handheld fixture, it can create dramatic indoor or outdoor effects for photo and video shoots. The fixture's integrated diffuser prevents the multiple shadows that are common in LED lighting, and it throws a soft, wide, wraparound beam that's perfect for portraits and group photos.

Preset color temperature and brightness buttons allow for instantaneous changes to the settings. The Baton runs on AC or battery power with the optional battery grip (sold separately). When you add the battery grip to the 20- and 34-inch models, the Baton becomes a handheld light.

POWERING THE BATON

USING THE BATON WITH AC POWER

Important ⚠️ ⚡️

The Baton is a multivoltage fixture capable of running on 100 to 240 V, 50/60 Hz. The included cable has a 120 V, 50 Hz plug. To use this fixture with other voltages, you must use a plug adapter (sold separately).

Connect the AC power adapter to the Baton with the 4-pin XLR cable, and use the power cable to connect the adapter to an outlet.

Important!

The 4-pin connector should easily attach. Don't use force to plug the XLR connector into the Baton's power input plug.

USING THE BATON WITH BATTERY POWER

The Baton-20 and Baton-34 models have the option of running on the Genaray BATON-BAT, a dedicated rechargeable battery handle that attaches to the base of the Baton (sold separately).

1. Align the XLR connector with the pins on the bottom of the Baton.
2. Press the battery pack onto the Baton, and turn the locking ring clockwise to tighten until secure.

To check the remaining power in the battery pack, press and hold the power indicator.
