How do I properly connect and power on my Elgato Key Light Air using its included USB-C cable?

Make sure the Key Light Air is in its carrying case to prevent any damage during transportation. Locate the included USB-C cable that came with your Key Light Air. This cable will be used for both data transfer and power delivery. Connect one end of the USB-C cable into the port located on the back of the Key Light Air. The USB-C port is labeled "Input/Output" to distinguish it from other ports. Connect the other end of the USB-C cable into a power source that provides at least 5V and 1. A. This could be a computer, laptop charging adapter, or a USB wall charger with a USB-C output port. Once the Key Light Air is connected to a power source, press and hold the on/off button located on the back of the light until it turns green. The light will automatically start up at 100% brightness, but you can adjust the brightness level using the included remote or the Elgato Stream Deck XL app (if you have one). If you do not see a green light after pressing and holding the on/off button, it could mean that the power source is not providing enough power to the Key Light Air. Make sure the power source meets the required specifications listed above. To conserve power, the Key Light Air will automatically turn off after 12 hours of inactivity. If you want to keep the light on for longer periods of time, simply press and hold the on/off button again until it turns green. When you're done using the Key Light Air, disconnect it from the power source by pulling out the USB-C cable. Make sure the light is fully turned off before storing it in its carrying case for transportation.
