Set the teach pendant to Manual mode before you start.
If your Cobot Welder does not open the Beacon Welding program when you turn it on, add the program to the default installation so it opens on startup.

On the teach pendant, tap Open, then choose Installation.
In the file browser, go to the home folder, then select default.installation.
Tap Open.

If you are asked to update the Program Installation, choose Use for now.
Configure the Default Program
With the default installation loaded and the teach pendant in Manual mode, set the installation to load the Beacon Welding program on startup.
On the teach pendant, tap Installation.
In the left-hand menu, expand General, then choose Startup.
Check that Load Default Program is selected.
