Using SLEEP MODE
Once your Sleep Mode settings are complete, you are ready to use this Mode to
help guide your body into a restful sleep state.
Checking Sleep Settings
If prior to entering Sleep Mode you wish to check your settings:
1.
Press the Menu Button.
2.
Turn the Selector Control Dial to highlight SLEEP SET.
3.
Press Selector Control Dial.
Here you will see the list of Sleep Options and current settings. Using the Selector
Control Dial you can highlight any of the specific settings to get more detail. (To
change a setting, please refer to the ‘Setting Sleep Mode’ section in this manual.)
4.
Press Menu Once to Exit. Please note: Exiting in this manner is a ‘quick
escape’ and will do so WITHOUT saving changes to a setting.
REMEMBER: Once a Sleep Cycle is started, the SLEEP SET MENU will not
be available. If you wish to review or adjust your Sleep Options, you must first
interrupt the current Sleep Cycle.
Starting a Sleep Cycle
Starting a Sleep Cycle is as easy as pressing the
SLEEP button.
Remember: Once the SLEEP button is pressed, the
Rise & Shine will begin to run your Sleep Cycle. The
Blue LEDs will immediately turn off, because blue light is too stimulating for the
system when trying to prepare the body for sleep, and the light and sound levels
will start from the current level and progressively lower until completely off.
Muting a Sleep Cycle
During a Sleep Cycle, the Audio can be muted by pressing the Selector Control
Dial. However, the sleep program will continue. Therefore when you turn the Mute
function off you may find the audio level lower than it was when Mute was initially
selected. While the Sleep Cycle is muted the light brightness will continue to
reduce (if selected as part of your preset Sleep Options).
Interrupting a Sleep Cycle
There are two separate portions of a Sleep Cycle. The first is during the reduction
of light and sound as the Rise & Shine is preparing you to sleep. This portion
continues until the selected Sleep Cycle duration is completed (5, 15 or 30
minutes) and the lights and sound are completely off.
