1. About the daylight lamp
Dear valued 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 daylight lamp?
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 • Need for more sleep
• Subdued mood • Loss of appetite
• Lack of energy and listlessness • Difficulty concentrating
• Generally feeling under the weather 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 released into the blood only in darkness. This hormone tells the body when it is time to sleep. In the months when there is less sunlight, therefore, production of melatonin increases. This makes it harder to get up in the morning, since the body‘s functions are shut down. If you use the daylight lamp immediately after waking up in the morning—thus as early as possible—you can end the production of melatonin so that your mood takes a positive turn. In addition, light deficiency also hinders production of the happiness hormone serotonin, which decisively affects our well-being. So application of light involves quantitative changes in hormones and neurotransmitters in the brain, which can affect our level of activity, our feelings and our well-being. Light can help reverse this hormone imbalance. 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 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 the hormonal balance. Because in a well-lit office the illuminance level amounts to just 500 lux.

3. Notes
Please read these instructions for use carefully and keep them for later use, be sure to make them accessible to other users and observe the information they contain.
Safety notes Warning
• The light of the daylight lamp is only intended for use on the human body.
• Before use, ensure that all packaging materials are removed and that there is no visible damage to the unit or accessories. When in doubt, do not use the unit and contact your dealer or the customer service ad­dress provided.
• Also ensure that the daylight lamp has a firm footing.
• Connect the unit only to the mains voltage listed on the type plate.
• Do not dip the unit into water and do not use it in wet rooms.
Do not use it in the vicinity of people who are helpless, children under age 3 or people who are insensitive to heat (people with skin lesions due to illness); do not use after taking painkillers or drugs or drinking alco­hol.
• Keep children away from packaging materials (risk of suffocation).
• Do not cover up or pack away the unit while it is warm.
• Always unplug the mains part and allow the device to cool down before touching it.
• Do not touch the unit with wet hands while it is plugged in; do not allow any water to be sprayed onto the unit. The unit must be operated only when it is completely dry.
• Ensure that you only insert and remove the mains part with dry hands and that you only press the ON/OFF button with dry hands.
• Keep the mains cable away from hot objects and naked flames.
• Protect the unit from strong impacts.
• Do not pull the mains part out of the socket using the mains cable.
• If the mains part or its housing is damaged, this must be replaced by customer services or the retailer, as a special tool is needed for repair.
• Disconnection from the power supply network is only guaranteed when the mains part is unplugged.
Do not use the device in the presence of flammable anaesthetic gas connections with air, oxygen or nitro­gen oxide.

General notes Important
• If you are taking medication such as pain relievers, antihypertensives or antidepressants, consult your doctor before using the daylight lamp.
• People with retinal diseases as well as diabetics need to be examined by an ophthalmologist before be­ginning to use the daylight lamp.
• Please do not use if you have an eye disease such as cataracts, glaucoma, diseases of the optic nerve in general and inflammation of the vitreous humour.
• If you have health concerns of any kind, contact your general practitioner!
• Before you use the unit for the first time, remove all packaging materials.

5. Initial use
Take the device out of the plastic wrapping. Check the device for damage or faults. If you notice any damage or faults on the device, do not use it and contact customer services or your supplier.
Positioning the device
Place the device on an even surface. The position should be chosen to ensure a distance of between 20cm and 60cm between the user and the device. The lamp is most effective at this distance.
Mains connection
• To prevent possible damage to the device, the brightlight must only be used with the mains part de­scribed here.
• Insert the mains part into the connection provided for this purpose on the rear of the brightlight. The mains part must only be connected to the mains voltage that is specified on the type plate.
• After using the brightlight, unplug the mains part from the mains socket first and then disconnect it from the brightlight.
Note:
• Ensure that there is a socket near the place where the lamp will stand.
• Lay the mains cable in such a way that no one can trip over it.
6. Operation
Remove the holder from the storage slot on the rear of the device.

Clip on the holder at the side. The orientation/angle of the TL30 changes depending on where you at-
2
tach the holder to the device. This allows you to tailor the angle as desired. The holder can be attached on both the long and short sides, which enables you to use the TL30 both horizontally and vertically.
3 Switching on the lamp
Press the On/Off button.

4 Enjoying the light
Sit as close as possible to the lamp, between 20 cm and 60 cm. You can go about your normal activities while using it. You can read, write, make telephone calls, etc.
• Every so often, briefly look directly into the light, since the effect results from the eyes/ retina receiving the light.
• Use the brightlight as often as you want. 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 the whole time you are using it, however, since that could lead to overstimulation of the retina.
• Start with shorter periods of illumination, which you increase over the course of a week.
Note:
Eye aches and headaches may arise after the first times using the lamp. These will go away in later sessions, as the nervous system will become accustomed to the new stimulation.
5 Important instructions
When using the lamp, maintain the recommended distance of 20 - 60 cm between your face and the lamp. 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
Basically, the closer you are to the source of light, the less time you should use it.
6 Enjoying light over longer periods
Repeat your use of the lamp in the dark seasons for at least 7 successive days, or even longer, depen­ding on your individual needs. If possible, conduct the treatment in the morning hours.
7 Switching off the lamp
Press the On/Off button. The LEDs switch off. Unplug the mains part from the mains socket.
CAUTION!
The light remains hot after use.. Let the lamp cool off first long enough before you put it away and/or pack it up!
7. Cleaning and care of the unit
The unit should be cleaned occasionally.
Important
• Ensure that no water penetrates inside the unit! Before you clean the unit, always switch it off, unplug it and let it cool off.
• Do not wash the unit in a washing machine! Use a slightly damp cloth to clean the device.
• Do not touch the unit with wet hands while it is plugged in; do not allow any water to be sprayed onto the unit. The unit must be operated only when it is completely dry. Do not use abrasive detergents and never immerse the unit in water.
8. Storage
If you are not going to use the device for an extended period of time, disconnect it and store it in a dry place, out of the reach of children. Follow the storage instructions provided in the “Technical data” chapter.
