5. Initial use
Take the device out of the plastic wrapping. Check the device for damage or faults. If you notice any damage or
faults on the device, do not use it and contact Customer Services or your supplier.
Mains connection
Place the device on an even surface. The position should be chosen to ensure a distance of between 20 cm and
45 cm between the user and the device. The lamp is most effective at this distance.
Setting up the device
• To prevent possible damage to the device, the daylight therapy lamp must only be used with the mains
part described here.
• Insert the mains part into the connection provided for this purpose on the rear of the daylight therapy
lamp. The mains part must only be connected to the mains voltage that is specified on the type plate.
• After using the daylight therapy lamp, unplug the mains part from the mains socket first and then
disconnect it from the daylight therapy lamp.
Note:
• Ensure that there is a mains socket close to the set-up area.
• Arrange the mains cable in such a way that no-one will trip over it.
6. Operation
1
Plugging in the mains part
Insert the mains part into the mains connection.
2

Enjoying the light
Position yourself as close as possible to the lamp, at a distance of between 20 cm and 45 cm. You can
continue to go about your day-to-day activities during application, including reading, writing, making
telephone calls, etc.
• Keep looking directly into the light for a short period of time, as it is absorbed and shows an effect
via the eyes/retina.
• Use the daylight therapy lamp as often as you like. However, the treatment is most effective if you
carry out the light therapy for at least 7 successive days according to the prescribed times.
• The most effective time of day for the treatment is between 6 a.m. and 8 p.m.
and we recommend that it is used for 2 hours per day.
• However, do not look directly into the light for the entire application period, as this may cause
over-stimulation of the retina.
• Start with a brief application period and gradually increase the time over the course of a week.
Note:
You may experience pain in the eyes and head after the first few applications. This pain should
disappear in further sessions as the nervous system becomes accustomed to the new stimuli.

Things to consider
We recommend a distance of between 20 and 45 cm from the face to the lamp during application.
The duration of the application depends on the distance:
Lux
Distance
Application duration
10,000
approx. 20 cm
0.5 hour
5,000
approx. 30 cm
1 hour
2,500
approx. 45 cm
2 hours
In principle:
The closer you are to the light source, the shorter the application time.
