02 | Package contents
What’s in the box.
Check all six supplied components before setup.
DESK panel
The compact PRFRM 1 DESK panel with touchscreen and adjustable support stand.
Eye protection
Protective eyewear for use during light sessions.
Handle
Carrying handle supplied for the designated mounting points.
Remote control
Controls brightness, time, pulse, groups and Routine Presets.
Power cable
Mains cable supplied for the delivery region.
Patch cable

If anything is missing or damaged: do not assemble or switch on DESK. Contact PRFRM 1 support first.
03 | Setup and positioning
Set up DESK.
DESK is designed for targeted use from a stable tabletop, worktop or similar level surface.
Inspect the panel
Check the enclosure, touchscreen, stand, ventilation slots and cable sockets for damage.
Check the handle
If the handle is supplied separately, secure it only at the designated points. Confirm it is firm before lifting DESK.
Open the stand
Place DESK on a level surface and open the rear support until the panel holds the required angle securely.
Position and connect
Leave ventilation clearance, confirm DESK is switched off, then connect the power cable firmly.
Position DESK safely
Distance
Never place skin closer than 11cm. Starting farther away, such as approximately 30cm, can make positioning and comfort easier to assess.
Stability
Keep the entire stand on the supporting surface. Do not place DESK where it can be pulled down by its cable or knocked from an edge.

05 | Routine Presets
Routine Preset settings.
The confirmed DESK Routine Preset settings are shown below.
About the Routine Preset names
These names reproduce or clarify controller labels so that you can identify the correct option. A Routine Preset name does not mean that DESK diagnoses, treats, cures or prevents a medical condition.
| Routine Preset | RED 480 / 630 / 660nm | NIR 810 / 830 / 850 / 1060nm | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Joint Care | 100% | 100% | 20 min |
| Face / Eyes | 50% | 50% | 10 min |
| Sleep | 20%-0% | 20%-0% | 30 min |
| Skin | 60% | 60% | 10 min |
| Workout | 100% | 100% | 30 min |
| Mood / Wellness | 80% | 80% | 15 min |
Channel groups: on the seven-wavelength DESK, the touchscreen’s RED control adjusts the visible-light channels at 480, 630 and 660nm together. The NIR control adjusts 810, 830, 850 and 1060nm together. Although the controller uses the label RED, 480nm is a blue visible-light wavelength.
Sleep mode: the confirmed table expresses both RED and NIR as reducing from 20% to 0% during the 30-minute programme.
Pulse settings: the confirmed Routine Preset table does not state pulse values. No pulse figures have been added or assumed.

09 | Troubleshooting
Quick checks.
Switch off and unplug DESK before checking the stand, handle, cables or connections.
DESK will not switch on
Check the wall outlet, mains cable and panel connection. Stop if anything appears damaged.
The remote does not respond
Confirm that DESK and the remote use the same group number.
DESK feels unstable
Unplug it and reposition the stand on a firm, level surface with its full footprint supported.
The selected angle slips
Stop using DESK until the stand and its fixing points have been checked.
The screen has switched off
This can be normal after inactivity. Touch the screen to wake it.
Some LEDs look unlit
Near-infrared wavelengths can be difficult to see. Check the touchscreen instead of staring into the light.
Pulse is unavailable for RED
This is expected. Pulse applies only to the near-infrared output group.
The timer starts with an earlier value
The Custom timer retains the last confirmed value. Open Timer, set the required duration and select OK.
