Introduction

Lumie Bodyclock Active wakes you with a sunrise that naturally helps to regulate your sleep and wake patterns. You'll wake up in a better mood, find it easier to get up, and feel more energetic during the day. There's also a fading sunset to help you unwind at the end of the day and drift off to sleep.

Ideally, you should use Bodyclock Active all year round to help keep your sleep and wake cycles on track.

In clinical trials, 'dawn simulators' such as Bodyclock Active have been shown to improve mood, energy, productivity and the quality of sleep and awakening†. They can also help sufferers of SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) and winter blues cope with dark winter mornings.

Lumie was the first to launch a dawn simulator range and began selling an early version of Bodyclock in 1993.

Please read these instructions carefully to get the most out of your Bodyclock Active.

Features

Bodyclock Active is supplied ready to use with the settings we've found most popular with users; all you need to do is fit the bulb, set the current time and set the time you want to wake up.

The standard settings are:

• An optional 30-minute sunset to help you get to sleep.
  A 30-minute sunrise to wake you gently, followed by an alarm beep.
• A clock display that automatically dims to a low level during sunset.

Alternatively, Bodyclock Active provides a range of other options to suit your personal preferences. For example, you can choose:

• A longer or shorter sunrise and sunset.
• A different alarm sound or the radio.
• A clock display that is off or stays bright at night.

Getting started

Here's how to set up your Bodyclock Active for the first time.

The bulb is supplied packed in a separate box and needs to be fitted into the Bodyclock Active before use.

The lamp cover may be supplied already separated from the base, in which case skip the next step.

To remove the lamp cover

The lamp cover is attached to the base of the Bodyclock Active by two internal clips, one at either end of the cover:

• Support the base of the Bodyclock Active with one hand.
• Push firmly at one end of the lamp cover to release the clip.
• Remove the lamp cover.

To fit the bulb

• Screw the bulb into the holder.
• Replace the lamp cover by pressing it down until the clips at each end pop into place.

Frequently asked questions

I tried out the sunrise but the light comes up really quickly

You probably didn't allow enough time for a full sunrise. For example, the default sunrise takes 30 minutes so if the clock shows the time as 11.00 then you need to set the wake-up time to at least 11.30.

What happens when I unplug my Bodyclock Active or there's a power cut?

Your Bodyclock Active keeps time for one hour; other settings are permanent, so you won't need to reprogram the unit, just plug it back in. If you need to adjust the time, see Customisation options, page 14.

The display panel is too bright when I'm trying to sleep; how can I change it?

See To set the display brightness, page 12.

What can I do if the display is working but the light doesn't come on?

Check to make sure the bulb is firmly screwed into the socket. If this doesn't work, replace the bulb.

Why is nothing happening when I press the buttons?

You may have accidentally set the unit to demonstration mode (only useful for shops, exhibitions etc!) so try pressing for 12 seconds. If that doesn't work or if the display shows RESET, see How do I restore the default factory settings? below.

How do I restore the default factory settings?

Turn off the power at the mains. Press and hold as you turn the power back on. Release the button when the software version number shows.

What can I do if neither the display nor light are working?

A fuse may have blown. With the unit unplugged, try replacing the 3A fuse in the plug or the 2A fuse in the unit; simply unscrew the black fuse holder underneath.

Please contact Lumie if you need a replacement bulb or if you still have a problem with your Bodyclock Active.
