Storing Beam
Beam is designed to be powered on at all times. If you must store your Beam, you can safely store it up to 3 months after performing a graceful shutdown.
If the Beam will be stored longer than 6 months, we recommend charge cycling the Beam periodically. Storing a Beam for long periods of time (3+ months) without recharging may result in irreversible sulfation.

- Insert a USB keyboard.
- From the Device Settings screen choose Tools > Power > Shutdown.
- Remove the keyboard.
