To fully benefit from the support that Philips offers, register your product at www.philips.com/welcome. The Philips Wake-up Light helps you wake upmore pleasantly. The light intensity of the lamp gradually increases to the set level in the 30 minutes before the set wake-up time. The light gently prepares your body for waking up at the programmed time. To make waking up an even more pleasant experience, you can use natural wake-up sounds or the FM radio. The Wake-up Light can be used as a speaker for your iPod/iPhone, which is charged automatically when it is connected to the Wake-up Light. You can use the dusk simulation function to have the Wake-up Light dim the light and sound gradually before they are completely switched off at the time you set. The effects of the Wake-up Light The Philips Wake-up Light gently prepares your body for waking up during the last half hour of sleep. In the early morning hours our eyes are more sensitive to light than when we are awake. During that period the relatively low light levels of a simulated natural sunrise prepare our body for waking up and getting alert. People who use the Wake-up Light wake up more easily, have a better overall mood in the morning and feel more energetic.Because the sensitivity to light differs per person, you can set the light intensity of your Wake-up Light to a level that matches your light sensitivity foran optimal start of the day. For more information about the Wake-up Light, see www.philips.com.
