LIGHT & SOUND THERAPY MODES
LIGHT THERAPY MODE
Circadian rhythms, or our internal clocks, are linked to changing wavelengths
of light throughout the day. Color Light Therapy simulates these wavelengths,
triggering subtle biological responses that can help improve sleep, energy, and
mood. Light Therapy mode includes 10 separate Light Therapy patterns to help
you feel great.
1. Press the Light Therapy Button to access Light Therapy mode. Continue
to press and release to cycle to each mode:
Aurora: A swirling spectrum of colors creates a beautiful atmosphere for day
or night mood lighting (not recommended before sleep)
Pulse: Randomized, pulsing colors bring life to your music and visual fun to
your environment (not recommended before sleep)
Glow: A gentle fading spectrum of solid colors creates a beautiful
atmosphere for day or night mood lighting (not recommended
before sleep)
1 Color: Select the current color
Energy: Swirling blue-toned lights inhibit melatonin, increase morning
alertness, and energize the mind
Calm: Swirling red-toned lights calm the mind at night and stimulate the
production of melatonin, helping to prepare the body for sleep
Breath: Inhale and hold with the amber light and exhale with the red.
Matching your breath to this timed pattern can lower your heart rate
and calm your mind
Lamp: Warm white light, similar to an incandescent bulb (not recommended
before sleep)
None: Turn Light Therapy OFF
Note: The current mode name appears on the display when selected.
2. Press the Light Brightness Buttons to adjust the intensity of the light
to suit your mood and room conditions.
3. Press and hold the Light Button to turn off lights. Press the Light Button
again at any time to resume the last used light mode.
Sleep and Alarm Specific Modes:
Sunset: Mimics the red tones of the setting sun, aligning Circadian rhythms
Dawn: Invigorating blue tones of the sky help to reset Circadian rhythms
Flash: Bright, flashing blue lights are designed to wake even heavy sleepers

SOUND THERAPY MODE
Distracting noises or a racing mind can make it hard to sleep at night or focus
during the day. Sound Therapy uses specially recorded and engineered
sounds to cancel out these distractions and allow your mind to calm. Sound
Therapy mode includes 10 separate Sound Therapy presets to help you feel
great. You can access a desired sound at any time by pressing the Sound
Therapy Button to cycle through sound modes.

a mind dreaming in REM sleep
Ocean: Authentic, digitally recorded ocean sounds
Storm: Authentic, digitally recorded storm and rainfall sounds
Nature: Authentic, digitally recorded springtime woodland sounds
Air: Brown noise is a low-toned repeating frequency, like a fan, which
helps to negate distracting environmental noises
Focus: Pink noise is a medium-toned repeating frequency, like a soothing
waterfall, which helps to negate distracting environmental noises
Quiet: The standard white noise repeating frequency, like radio static,
which helps to actively negate distracting environmental noises
Peace: White noise and Delta tone melodies layered together help to
quiet a noisy environment and an over-active mind
Heartbeat: Listening to a relaxed heart beat encourages your own heart
beat to slow to match it
None: Turn Sound Therapy OFF
Note: The current mode appears on the display when selected.

IMPORTANT SAFETY TIPS
When used in the directed manner, this unit has been designed and
manufactured to ensure your personal safety. However, improper use can
result in potential electrical shock or fire hazards. Please read all safety and
operating instructions carefully before installation and use, and keep these
instructions handy for future reference. Take special note of all warnings
listed in these instructions and on the unit.
1. Water and Moisture – The unit should not be used near water. For
example: near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, swimming
pool or in a wet basement.
2. Ventilation – The unit should be situated so that its location or position
does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, it should not
be situated on a bed, sofa, rug or similar surface that may block
ventilation openings. Also, it should not be placed in a built-in
installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet, which may impede the flow
of air through the ventilation openings.
3. Heat – The unit should be situated away from heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves or other appliances (including amplifiers)
that produce heat.
4. Power Sources – The unit should be connected to a power supply only of
the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the
appliance. Only use the AC adapter that came with the unit.
5. Power-Cable Protection – Power supply cables should be routed so that
they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or
against them. It is always best to have a clear area from where the cable
exits the unit to where it is plugged into an AC socket.
6. Cleaning – The unit should be cleaned only as recommended. See the
Maintenance section of this manual for cleaning instructions.
7. Objects and Liquid Entry – Care should be taken so that objects do not
fall and liquids are not spilled into any openings or vents located on the
product.
8. Attachments – Do not use attachments not recommended by the
product manufacturer.
9. Lightning and Power Surge Protection – Unplug the unit from the wall
socket and disconnect the antenna or cable system during a lightning
storm or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time.
This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line
surges.
10. Overloading – Do not overload wall sockets, extension cords, or integral
convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric
shock.
11. Damage Requiring Service – The unit should be serviced by qualified
service personnel when:
A. the power supply cable or plug has been damaged.
B. objects have fallen into or liquid has been spilled into the enclosure.
C. the unit has been exposed to rain.
D. the unit has been dropped or the enclosure damaged.
E. the unit exhibits a marked change in performance or does not
operate normally.
19
IMPORTANT SAFETY TIPS
(Continued)
12. Servicing – The user should not attempt to service the unit beyond those
methods described in the user’s operating instructions. Service methods
not covered in the operating instructions should be referred to qualified
service personnel.
13. Magnetic Interference: This product’s speakers contain powerful
magnets which could cause interference or damage to sensitive
