USING THE APPLIANCE
The appliance is used for light
baths that counteract winter
fatigue. which can cause the
following symptoms:
fatigue
bad mood or moodiness
lack of energy
increased need for sleep
lack of concentration
lack of appetite
Over 60% of the population are believed to experience
one or more symptoms of winter blues due to the low
intensity of the winter sun.
The most effective time of day to take a light bath is
between 6 am and 8 pm for a recommended period of
2 hours per day.
You can take a light bath as often as you like, but
treatment is most effective when you take one for the
times below for at least 5 successive days.
The appliance can be used as a standard light therapy
lamp, or as a sunrise alarm clock simulating the sunrise
for half an hour.
Using the appliance for light baths
Place the appliance on a table.
Plug in and switch on the power.
Switch on the on/off button (9).
Sit in front of the appliance so that you can see the
light easily and with your face 20-60 cm from the
screen (2). You do not need to sit directly in front of
the screen.
Use the hinge on the base (5) to tilt the appliance.
Hold the top cover, and tilt the appliance to the
required angle.
How long your light bath should last depends on the
distance you sit from the screen:
You can take a break during the session, and you
can do other things whilst bathing (e.g. read or
watch TV) as long as you sit within 60 cm of the
appliance.
Do not look directly into the light constantly, but
look at it regularly.
Always turn off the appliance using the on/off
button, and unplug it, when it is not in use.
Allow the appliance to cool for at least 15 minutes
