The LightWorks Model LW1 Manual

SUMMARY OF LIGHTS

GREEN: Indicates which mode is selected.
ORANGE: Indicates that the Automatic Option is in operation.

HOW TO USE THE LIGHTWORKS

1. Insert the power plug from the AC-DC Wall Adaptor into the unit and plug the 

adaptor into an electrical outlet.

2. Remove the protective cover from the lens on both sides of the Hand Paddle.
3. Plug one end of the LightWorks Cord into the Hand 

Paddle and the other end into the Base. When 

properly inserted, the plugs will click securely into 

the jacks.

4. Push the ON/OFF/MODE button. All the lights on 

the base will flash in sequence to indicate the unit 

is ready for use. The unit starts in the Automatic 

(AUTO) Option and begins with the Constant 

Mode. The AUTO light will flash continuously.

5. Select one side of the Hand Paddle by pushing the 

Hand Paddle button. Only one side of the Hand 

Paddle is operational at a time. Push the Hand Paddle button to check the operation 

of each side of the Hand Paddle.

6. 

The unit can be left in AUTO or a specific Mode can be selected. 

a. In AUTO, the unit will operate on the selected side of the Hand Paddle for 32 

minutes—4 minutes on each of the 8 Modes. The unit sounds a ‘beep’ after each 4 

minute Mode has completed. 

b. 

Manual Option: Choose a specific Mode by pushing the ON/OFF/MODE button 

briefly. A 

GREEN light indicates which mode is selected. The Constant Mode 

operates for 30 minutes and Modes A - G run for 15 minutes each. 

c. To return to the AUTO Option continue pressing the ON/OFF/MODE button 

until the ORANGE light comes on. See ‘Output of Modes’ on page 6 for the 

frequency of each Mode.

7. The LED lights on the Hand Paddle should be placed on or very close to the skin. 

Clothing will block the light.
