To turn off a Beam scooter, simply locate and press the power button positioned on the left side of its screen.
Powering down your Beam scooter is a straightforward process, useful for ending a ride, briefly pausing, or even troubleshooting. This guide outlines how to easily control your scooter's power state.
How to Power Down Your Beam Scooter
The process to turn off your Beam scooter involves a single, easily identifiable button.
- Locate the Power Button: The power button for your Beam scooter is consistently found on the left side of the Beam's screen. This location makes it easily accessible during or after your ride.
- Press to Turn Off: A single, brief press of this power button will initiate the power-down sequence. The scooter's screen should then go blank or indicate that it is off.
- To Power Back On: Should you need to reactivate the scooter, simply press the same power button again. This will power the Beam back on, ready for use (assuming your rental session is active).
When is it Useful to Turn Off Your Beam Scooter?
While Beam scooters are primarily managed through the mobile app for rental and locking functions, manually turning off the device can be beneficial in several situations:
- Ending a Ride: Although the official end-of-ride process and locking are handled by the Beam app, manually powering down ensures the scooter's internal systems are inactive.
- Brief Stops: If you're pausing your ride for a short period and want to conserve battery or prevent accidental activation, a quick power-down is a practical solution.
- Troubleshooting Minor Issues: Much like other electronic devices, turning the scooter off and then on again can sometimes resolve minor glitches or connectivity problems.
- Ensuring Inactivity: For an added measure of inactivity when the scooter is parked, manually powering it off complements the app's locking feature.
Beam Scooter Power Control Overview
| Action | Button Location | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Turn Off | Left side of the screen | Press the power button once. The scooter's display will typically go dark. |
| Turn On | Left side of the screen | Press the same power button again to power the scooter back on. |
Important Considerations for Riders
- App-Based Rental Management: Remember that manually turning off the scooter primarily controls its internal power. To officially end your rental session, park the scooter correctly, and ensure it's locked, you must use the Beam Mobility mobile app.
- Battery Preservation: Powering down the scooter is an effective way to conserve its battery life, especially during longer stops.
- Safety Protocols: Always ensure the scooter is safely parked and stable on its kickstand before attempting to operate any buttons or interact with the screen.
