BEAM joint tension diagram showing the tightening and loosening direction — Joint tension | Support the light head before changing joint tension. Tighten only until the head holds its selected position securely.

Prepare the parts

Lay the base, rods, arm, light head, knobs, washers and screws on a clean surface.

Remove the joint knob

Turn the arm-joint knob anticlockwise. Keep the washers and nut in their supplied order.

Position the washers

Place the washers and nut into their corresponding grooves. Washer 2 is the thinnest.

Insert the arm

Hold the washers and nut in position while inserting the adjustable arm into its bracket.

Refit the knob

Insert the joint knob and tighten it clockwise until the arm is secure.

Build the stand

Fit the support rod into the chassis, tighten clockwise, then raise the upper rod.

Fit the light head

Support the light head, place it on the arm with the knob to the side, and tighten every retaining screw.

Complete the checks

Move each joint slowly and confirm that the head holds position without dropping.

Adjust the stand safely

Joint tension

Each joint should move smoothly when deliberately adjusted and hold its selected position without dropping.

If it does not hold, support the head and carefully increase tension before use.

Avoid pinch points

Do not adjust tension while another person is positioned beneath or beside the light head.

Keep hands, fingers, hair and loose clothing away from every pivot.

Connect the power

Confirm that BEAM is switched off. Connect the power cable firmly, then connect it to a suitable wall outlet. Route the cable away from the base, walkways and moving joints.

About the Routine Preset names

These names reproduce controller labels so that you can identify the correct option. A Routine Preset name does not mean that the device diagnoses, treats, cures or prevents a medical condition.

Routine Preset	RED 660nm	NIR 810 / 850 / 1060nm	Time
Joint Care	30%	100%	8 min
Skin & Face	50%	50%	10 min
Hair Growth	100%	100%	15 min
Brain	80%	80%	20 min
Muscle Recovery	100%	100%	10 min

Channel groups: each Routine Preset percentage applies to every wavelength within that output group. RED controls the 660nm channel. NIR controls the 810, 850 and 1060nm channels together.

Pulse settings: the confirmed Routine Preset table does not state pulse values. No pulse figures have been added or assumed.
