Hold + Air Double-Click Customizable Air Gesture Trigger (Pro Edition) Air gestures are available on Pro Edition only. How to trigger Air Gestures 1. Tilt your finger so the charging port is at the bottom of the ring. 2. When the ring detects the correct orientation, the 3 LEDs turn on () to indicate Air-Ready. 3. While Air-Ready is on, perform an air gesture with strong acceleration and deceleration (a quick, deliberate motion). 4. When an air gesture is recognized, the 3 LEDs flicker briefly to confirm the gesture was triggered. 5. Supported air gestures:
o Air-swipe left o Air-swipe right o Air click (single click) o Air double-click 6. Left-hand use: enable Left-Handed Settings in Prolo Studio to use air gestures on the left hand. Tip: If the 3 LEDs do not turn on, adjust the tilt angle until the charging port points down more clearly. System & Mode Switch Action Use Modstrip to trigger the following system actions.

CUSTOMIZATION WITH PROLO STUDIO Prolo Studio Introduction Unlock advanced features with Prolo Studio, available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. You can map gestures to shortcuts, control media, launch apps, or build complex macros all from one interface. Download Prolo Studio: proloring.com/downloads
(Prolo Studio customization features require the Pro Edition.) Device Status & App Status Prolo Ring operates in two distinct statuses to support both universal compatibility and advanced features. Device Status (Default) Device Status is the standard operating status of the Prolo Ring. Works on all devices using Bluetooth HID No software required Provides all built-in gestures, cursor control, media control, and motion features Behaves like a universal mouse/remote Ideal for laptops, desktops, tablets, phones, smart TVs, projectors, VR, and more Use Device Status whenever you want instant pairing, plug-and-play control, or when youre using a computer where installing apps is restricted (school, office, shared workstations). App Status (For Advanced Features) App Status activates when the ring connects directly to Prolo Studio on your computer.
