Getting started
Visual Poi V4 is very easy to operate. All functions of the device are controlled by pressing a single button located at the end of the poi, in the handle:
Location of the main button on the Visual Poi
Visual Poi is turned ON/OFF by pressing the main button for 2 seconds. It’s indicated by a quick double blink of one LED on the device, which also serves as a battery level indicator. Green color – battery is full, orange color – battery is getting empty, red color – battery is empty and needs recharge.
Visual Poi battery level indicator
If you leave Visual Poi unattended for 30 minutes, it automatically turns off. Also, when the battery level drops too low, the Visual Poi turns itself OFF to protect the battery and you need to charge the Visual Poi to use it again.
After turning on, the Visual Poi enters a so called “standby mode”. In this mode, 8 LEDs closest to the main button will shine in either blue or pink color, indicating communication with the FT remote:
FT remote is answering, signal quality is good.
FT remote is turned off or signal quality is poor.
Press the main button once (or any button on the FT remote) to quit the standby mode.

Now Visual Poi enters the memory bank selection menu, where you can select which image sequence to play. It is indicated by 4 LEDs closest to the main button:
Bank 1 Bank 2 Bank 3 Bank 4
There are up to 4 memory banks available, each indicated by a different LED color. Press the main button repeatedly to make your selection, currently selected bank will shine with a brighter color on the LEDs:
Bank 3 selected
To confirm your selection, make a longer press of the main button – the Visual Poi will enter a “prelaunch mode”, ready to start your image sequence at will. This is indicated by only a single LED shining in the color of the memory bank:
Bank 3 ready to be started
When you are ready to start your Visual Poi show, press the main button and the image sequence will start to play immediately.
The running image sequence can be stopped at any time by a successive combination of a long press (2 sec) + short press of the main button. This prevents any accidental interruptions of your show. More details in the description of the Perfect Sync feature.
LtComposer 3 software
After playing with the preloaded image sequences, surely you want to try some original graphics of your own and experience the full potential of the Visual Poi, don’t you? To do so, you need to install the Lighttoys Composer 3 software, which is used to design your image sequences and upload them to the device.
The software and user manual come with the included USB flash drive. It runs on both Windows PC and MAC OS X. To download the latest version, please visit Lighttoys support page at:
