Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Verilux
®
Rise & Shine
®
Natural Sleep
System. With the Rise & Shine, you’ll sleep well and wake refreshed, in tune with
your circadian rhythms – on your own schedule.
Sound options
The Rise & Shine is a FM radio, USB and SD Card player and alarm clock with
LED light panel in a stylish bedside unit. An AUX IN connection lets you hear great
fi delity from your iPod
®
or other audio device.
Come morning, the Rise & Shine light panel slowly brightens and the high-fi delity
speaker increases in volume over 5-30 minutes as you wake gently to one of eight
included “nature sounds,” your favorite FM radio station, USB or SD music.
Light options
Your Rise & Shine’s LED light panel – which incorporates both blue and white
LEDs — helps you to fall asleep and wake at a gentle, gradual pace.
At night, the LED panel’s white LEDs dim gradually over your chosen “sleep
duration” as you fall asleep. The light panel has 20 brightness levels — and you
can also use an optional external lamp, which will dim and brighten to help you
sleep or wake.
For the Sleep Cycle, you set the initial brightness level for the cycle. When the
Sleep Cycle begins, the light will begin at this level then continue to dim until the
Sleep duration ends.
In the morning, both white and blue light gradually brighten to help you wake
refreshed.
The use of light from both the LED light panel and an external lamp are optional.
You may choose:
• no light
• LED light only
• an external lamp only
• both LED light and external lamp light
For the Sleep Cycle, only the white LEDs are lit, then dimmed. The blue LEDs are
used only in the Wake Cycle.
