device on flat surfaces. Select a location that leaves a distance of 20 to 50 cm between the unit and the
user. The lamp is most effective within this range.

Mains connection

Connect the unit only to the mains voltage listed on the type plate. Push the plug completely into the
mains socket.
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

1 Switching on the lamp
 Press the On/Off button. The tubes turn on. Set the angle of the fluorescent screen in accord-
ance with your individual requirements.
ATTENTION!
The brightness of the tubes may be visibly different when switched on. The tubes develop
their full luminosity after a couple of minutes.
2 Enjoying the light
Sit as close as possible to the lamp, between 20 cm and 50 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 ef-
fective 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.
