INTRODUCT ION

You have purchased the most innovative, high quality audio-visual entrainment
(AVE) device available on the market today. The DAVID SMART integrates the
necessary principles of audio/visual stimulation to safely and effectively guide
the user into desired states of consciousness and maximum brain functioning.
We are confident you will find using the DAVID SMART not only an enjoyable,
relaxing experience, but also beneficial as you explore heightened states of
consciousness and personal awareness.

The DAVID SMART is non-invasive and no electrical current is passed through
to the user. All resulting effects are produced in the brain solely by audio-visual
stimuli. The portability of the DAVID SMART lends itself to easy travel (airport
X-ray machines will not harm the DAVID SMART).

In order to obtain the maximum enjoyment and benefits from your
DAVID SMART, please read this operator's manual and the companion
DAVID User Guide thoroughly.
