Recommended Settings for Booth Beam

For the best Booth Beam experience, we recommend adjusting a few additional settings after setup.

Disable Sleep Mode

Prevent the device from going to sleep during active display use.

Go to:

Settings → System → Energy Saver

Disable:

• sleep timers
• automatic standby options

Why This Matters

Sleep mode can interrupt Booth Beam playback and scheduled content updates.

Keep Automatic Updates Enabled

Make sure Android system updates and app updates remain enabled.

This helps:

• improve stability
• keep security patches up to date
• ensure compatibility with Booth Beam

Avoid Disconnecting Power

For unattended displays, keep the device continuously powered whenever possible.

Unexpected shutdowns can interrupt playback or scheduled content synchronization.

Next Step

Continue with the Booth Beam installation guide to select, install and configure the Browser App on your device.
