GUIDE
Congratulations! We are excited to welcome you to the
next generation of smart technology. Beam can work
with your wireless router to extend the range of your
wireless network to areas of your home or office that
previously had little or no signal. It has three LED color
options that allow you to customize its nightlight to fit
your needs. This quick start guide will help you
configure your Beam for initial use.
Note: To reset Beam, insert a paper clip or similar thin object into
the reset pinhole, and press and hold for 10 seconds.
