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.
Positioning the device
Place the device on an even surface. The position should be chosen to ensure a distance of between 15 cm and
35 cm between the user and the device. The lamp is most effective at this distance.
Mains connection
• 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 discon-
nect it from the daylight therapy lamp.
Note:
• Ensure that there is a socket near the place where the lamp will stand.
• Lay the mains cable in such a way that no one can trip over it.
6. Operation

Enjoying the light
Sit as close as possible to the lamp, between 15 cm and 35 cm. You can go about your normal activities
while using it. You can read, write, make telephone calls, etc.
• Every so often, briefly look directly into the light, since the effect results from the eyes/ retina receiving
the light.
• Use the daylight therapy lamp as often as you want. However, the treatment is at its most effective if
you carry out the light therapy according to the prescribed time period of at least 7 successive days.
• The most effective time of day for the treatment is between 6am and 8pm
and we recommend that it is used for 2 hours per day.
• Do not look directly into the light the whole time you are using it, however, since that could lead to
overstimulation of the retina.
• Start with shorter periods of illumination, which you increase over the course of a week.
Note:
Eye aches and headaches may arise after the first times using the lamp. These will go
away in later sessions, as the nervous system will become accustomed to the new stimulation.

Important instructions
When using the lamp, maintain the recommended distance of 15 - 35 cm between your face and the
lamp. The duration of the application depends on the distance:
Lux

approx. 15 cm
0,5 hour
5.000
approx. 25 cm

Enjoying light over longer periods

ding on your individual needs. If possible, conduct the treatment in the morning hours.
