USER MANUAL TL 100 BEURER

1. Getting to know your device

Dear customer, Thank you for choosing one of our products. Our name stands for high-quality, thoroughly tested products for applications in the areas of heat, weight, blood pressure, body temperature, pulse, gentle therapy, massage and air. With kind regards, Your Beurer team Why use a brightlight? When the hours of daylight are noticeably decreased in autumn and people increasingly stay inside, the effects of a lack of light may cumulate. This is often described as “winter depression”. The symptoms can present themselves in a number of ways.

Imbalance Low mood Lack of energy and listlessness Generally feeling under the weather

Increased need for sleep Loss of appetite Difficulty concentrating The cause of these symptoms is the fact that light, particularly sunlight, is essential for life and has a direct effect upon the human body. Sunlight indirectly controls the production of melatonin, which is only passed to the blood in darkness. This hormone shows your body that it's time to sleep. Therefore in months with less sunshine more melatonin is produced, making it difficult to get up in the mornings because your body functions are powered down. Use the brightlights immediately after waking up (i.e. as early as possible) to end the production of melatonin and to brighten your mood. Lack of light also prevents the production of the happy hormone serotonin, which is said to significantly influence our “well-being”. The application of light yields qualitative changes to hormones and neurotransmitters in the brain that have an effect on our activity levels, our feelings and our well-being. To compensate for such a hormonal imbalance, the brightlight creates a suitable replacement for natural sunlight. In the medical field, brightlights are used to compensate for the effects of a lack of light. Brightlights simulate daylight over 10,000 lux (10-15 cm distance). The light can influence the human body and be used as a treatment or as a preventative measure. Normal electric light is not sufficient to influence hormonal balance. Because in a well-lit office the illuminance level amounts to just 500 lux. Included in delivery:

the moodlight (with brightness control and timer in each case).

6. beurer LightUp app features

After downloading the “beurer LightUp” app and connecting the brightlight to a smartphone via Bluetooth® (see chapter “Initial use”), you can control the brightlight and the moodlight from the app. Daylight You can switch the daylight on and off using the app. In addition, you can also use the app to adjust the brightness and set a timer for the daylight. Moodlight You can use the app to adjust the moodlight. The app allows you to select from ten pre-configured moodlight settings (with brightness control and timer in each case). After activating a moodlight setting, a moodlight with change of colour begins to light up. The pre-configured moodlight settings can only be adjusted from the app. Note: The moodlight and “beurer LightUp” app must not be considered medical products. Adjustments to the daylight function must be made on the device itself!

Insert the mains part into the connector. Switching on the lamp Press the on/off button.

LED display/timer The brightlight TL 100 indicates your current treatment time with the aid of 5 LEDs. The treatment time can be set at the following 5 levels. The timer function is not activated when the light is switched on for the first time. The light now shines until it is switched off again or a treatment time is set (timer = 0 min). In order to use the timer, set the desired level from 1 to 5 using the +/− buttons. On level 1, a treatment time of 15 minutes is set. The other levels are as follows: Treatment time Number of lit LEDs 15 minutes 30 minutes 45 minutes 90 minutes 120 minutes

The light switches off automatically after this treatment time. If you wish to deactivate the timer function, you can press the - button until the LEDs go out.

Brightness adjustment The brightlight TL 100 has 10 brightness levels. The desired brightness level can be set using the +/− buttons on the side – this level should be set so that it is pleasant for the eye during the treatment. When the device is switched off, the last level that was set is saved. When the device is next switched on, it restarts with the saved brightness level. Note: The device can also be used up to level 5 as a reading lamp.

Enjoying the light Position yourself as close as possible to the light, at a distance of between 20 and 60 cm. You can continue to go about your day-to-day activities during application, including reading, writing, making telephone calls, etc.

• Keep looking directly into the light for a short period of time as it is absorbed and shows an effect via the eyes/retina.
• Use the brightlight as often as you like. However, the treatment is at its most effective 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 for the entire application period as this may cause over-stimulation of the retina.
• Start with a brief application period and gradually increase the time over the course of a week. Note: You may experience pain in the eyes and head after the first few applications. This pain should disappear in further sessions as the nervous system becomes accustomed to the new stimuli.

Things to consider We recommend a distance of between 20 and 60 cm from the face to the light during application. The duration of the application depends on the distance: Distance Duration Up to 20 cm ½ hour/day Up to 40 cm 1 hour/day Up to 60 cm 2 hours/day In principle, the closer you are to the light source, the shorter the application time.

Enjoying the light over longer periods Repeat application on at least seven consecutive days during darker periods of the year, or for longer depending on your individual needs. Application should take place during the mornings where possible.

Switching off the light Press the on/off button. The LEDs switch off. Unplug the mains part from the mains socket. Important! The light remains hot after use. Allow the light to cool down sufficiently before putting it away and/or packing it away.

Mood light with change of colour In addition to the normal daylight, the brightlight TL 100 also features a moodlight with change of colour. Press and hold the on/off button for 2 seconds. The moodlight with change of colour will switch on. As with the normal daylight, the moodlight also features a timer and brightness adjustment. To switch off the moodlight with change of colour, press and hold the on/off button again for 2 seconds. If you wish to have a coloured light permanently displayed while the colour-change operation is in progress, briefly press the on/off button. Press the on/off button again to switch off the permanent coloured light.
