Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to Philips! To fully benefit from the support that
Philips offers, register your product at www.philips.com/welcome.
With the Philips InfraCare (150W), you can comfortably relieve muscle and joint pain at home. Just like
the sun, the device emits infrared light.
The Philips Infrared lamp emits infrared light that is required to achieve the intended therapeutic
effect. The Philips InfraCare (150W) can also be used for muscle relaxation or for preparation for a
massage.
Effects of an infrared lamp
The InfraCare provides infrared light, which penetrates deeply into the skin and warms the tissues. The
warmth modulates the neuronal signals to the brain and thus reduces pain. Warmth also stimulates
the local blood circulation and dilates the blood vessels, which accelerates the transport of
substances necessary to rebuild and nourish the body's tissues. Furthermore, infrared warmth
generated by infrared light speeds up the metabolic process and the removal of metabolic waste
products from the body. Warmth reduces stiffness and makes joints more flexible because it makes
tissue more pliable. The benefits described can help to alleviate pain due to muscle and joint
problems.
Note: Read the 'Warning' section in chapter 'Important safety information' and follow the instructions
before you use the device.
