How do I set the 2.4GHz wireless channel (CH)?

Short press the FX/Wireless button once. The CH icon will flash. Turn the adjust dial to choose a channel from 01 to 32. When the CH icon stops flashing, the setting is complete, and the controller automatically exits CH setting mode. Alternatively, while the CH icon is flashing, short pressing the FX/Wireless button 4 times will also automatically exit CH setting.

How do I set the 2.4GHz wireless group (GR)?

Short press the FX/Wireless button twice. The GR icon will flash. Turn the adjust dial to choose a group from A to F or 0 to 9. When the GR icon stops flashing, the setting is complete, and the controller automatically exits GR setting mode. Alternatively, while the GR icon is flashing, short pressing the FX/Wireless button 3 times will also automatically exit GR setting.

How do I set the 2.4GHz wireless ID?

Short press the FX/Wireless button three times. The ID icon will flash. Turn the adjust dial to choose an ID from 01 to 99 or OF (Off). When the ID icon stops flashing, the setting is complete, and the controller automatically exits ID setting mode. Alternatively, while the ID icon is flashing, short pressing the FX/Wireless button twice will also automatically exit ID setting.

How do I use the Power Option on the VL300II?

This function applies only to the VL300II and is used when a V-port battery enters protection mode due to not outputting sufficient power at high power settings.

To enter power option mode: While the light is powered off, press the power switch and the FX/Wireless button simultaneously. The power setting will be displayed (default is 300W).

To change the power setting: Turn the adjust dial to choose power from 200W, 250W, or 300W.

To exit: The mode will exit automatically after 5 seconds of inactivity.

Note: Selecting a lower power setting (e.g., 200W or 250W) reduces the light’s maximum output power but allows the battery to be loaded without triggering its protection mechanism.


How do I check the Bluetooth MAC code?

Short press the FX/Wireless button four times. The Bluetooth icon and the MAC code will be displayed on the LCD panel, indicating you are in the Bluetooth setting interface.

How do I reset the Bluetooth connection?

First, enter the Bluetooth setting interface by short pressing the FX/Wireless button four times.

Then, long press the FX/Wireless button. The Bluetooth icon will flash, indicating that Bluetooth is resetting.

When the Bluetooth icon stops flashing, the reset is complete.

To exit: The mode will exit automatically after 10 seconds of inactivity, or you can short press the FX/Wireless button to exit immediately.

Note: A Bluetooth reset might be necessary when connecting a new mobile device (phone or tablet) to control the light via the app after a previous device was connected.


How can I control the light using a mobile app?

Scan the QR code provided in the manual to download the “Godox Light” mobile app (available for Android and Apple). Refer to the “Help” manual within the mobile app for specific operational details. The first mobile device can directly control the light body via the app. If switching control to a different mobile device, perform a Bluetooth reset on the light’s controller first.

What happens if the light body overheats?

If the light body reaches a high temperature, the CCT value display on the LCD panel will change to “HP”. The light body will continue to work normally at this stage.

If the light body becomes over-temperature, the light will turn off, and “HP” will flash on the LCD panel.

Once the light body cools down to a normal temperature state, the “HP” display will revert to the CCT value, and the light body will restore its lighting function.
