Setting Up Your Daybreak Choosing a Lamp Your Daybreak is designed to control a connected lamp to provide a precise sunrise simulation, waking you up naturally. For proper operation of your Daybreak, you need to supply a compatible lamp. • Use an incandescent or line-voltage halogen lamp only, up to 200W. • DO NOT connect fluorescent lamps, compact fluorescent bulbs, low-voltage halogen lamps, or any lamp with a transformer or ballast. Doing so will void your Daybreak warranty and may damage your Daybreak and the lamp. • Touch-activated lamps are not compatible with the Daybreak and will not operate properly when connected. • 3-way lamps can be connected to the Daybreak, but you should verify that the lamp remains switched on to the highest intensity setting to ensure proper operation with the Daybreak. Choosing a Light Bulb for Your Lamp • For best results, use a 100W incandescent bulb in a lamp that will light up the entire room. If you find that you awaken too early, you can try a lower wattage bulb. • Special blue-enhanced light bulbs are ideal for sunrise simulation. These bulbs have neodymium added to the glass to enhance the color. They are more expensive, but generally last longer than standard incandescent bulbs. However, if you don't have a neodymium bulb, a standard one will work fine. 10 Positioning Your Daybreak and Connecting Your Lamp NOTE: Your lamp must plug directly into the Daybreak. Do not plug extension cords or power strips into the Daybreak lamp socket. 1 Place your Daybreak indoors on a flat, sturdy surface away from water. 2 For best results, position your Daybreak so that you can reach the buttons and see the display at eye level while lying down in bed. 3 Connect the AC power cord to the Daybreak and then plug the cord into a wall power outlet. 4 Plug your lamp into the socket on the back of the Daybreak. 5 Switch on your lamp. Then, press the LAMP button on the Daybreak to confirm that your lamp is switched on properly. By pressing LAMP repeatedly, you should be able to cycle through three intensity settings and the off position. If your lamp does not turn on, disconnect the lamp from the Daybreak and plug it in directly to a power outlet to determine if it is functioning properly. 11 Setting Your Daybreak
