Side effects and contraindications
By using phototherapy the following side effects have been observed: Headaches, nausea, irritability and burning of the
eyes can occur rarely for a short period. An absolute contraindication that means circumstances that do not allow the use
of light therapy units is not known so far.
Please take care in case of all types of eye diseases and the eye specialist should be consulted before. In case of
patients being under treatment with lithium or medicine for example Fluoxetine, Imipramine et al., which increase the
sensibility of the eyes on light a supervision of the light therapy by an eye specialist could be considered.
Fastening of the unit on the wall
The VITALITY can be mounted on the wall.
On the back side of the top of this unit there is an opening in the middle below the air vents
(See illustration).
At this opening the unit can be fixed on the wall with a screw. Depending on the type of wall, an
appropriate screw must be used, may be with pegs. E.g. a round head wood screw which is screwed into
an expansion anchor. The screw and the anchor are not included in the scope of delivery.

Before replacing the lamp, the plug has to be disconnected from the socket. In the lower area on the back of the unit
there are 2 openings. With a screwdriver 2 screws have to be loosen (See figure 1). Then the front part of the housing
