Read this user manual carefully before using this Philips appliance.

Intended use

This Philips appliance EnergyUp Intense Blue is intended to make people feel more energetic, to adjust circadian rhythms and to provide relief from the winter blues. Medical intended use of this appliance is to treat winter depression or SAD (seasonal affective disorder).Treatment of SAD must always take place under medical supervision.

Light - a natural energiser

Today’s busy modern lifestyles demand peak performance all day long.

Even the fittest person suffers energy dips, particularly when deprived of natural daylight, such as in an office in winter. Daylight is essential to well-being, keeping fit and feeling energised throughout the day – just like healthy nutrition and regular exercise. Philips EnergyUp Intense Blue mimics the natural energising power of daylight on a bright sunny day.

It stimulates special receptors in the eye to trigger the body’s natural response to sunlight.This helps you to fight energy dips, to feel more energetic, active and alert, and to improve your mood.

Circadian rhythms and sleep patterns

The human body uses light cues, such as those provided by the sun, to time certain internal functions. Properly timed rhythms regulate energy, mood, sleep, appetite and digestion.These daily internal cycles, called circadian rhythms, sometimes fall out of sync with nature, which can have impact on our well-being. Nature’s cues no longer govern our modern lifestyle. Our day no longer starts at sunrise and ends at sunset, working days are getting longer, and many people work in shifts. Moreover, our activities often extend well into the night. Many people tend to get too little sleep during the week, which diminishes their energy levels during the day. Using Philips EnergyUp Intense Blue at the right time of day can help you establish and reinforce regular sleep patterns.

ENGLISH 7

Light via eyes

Research shows that a special photoreceptor in our eyes is responsible for regulating our energy, mood and sleep/wake cycles.This receptor responds mostly to the blue light of the summer sky.We do not get much of this light in autumn and winter. Most indoor light does not provide enough of this essential colour.This appliance helps you to be at your best by delivering the wavelength, colour and intensity of light to which our body responds most efficiently.

Winter blues

Lack of light during the darker winter months causes many people to experience a noticeable drop in energy level and low spirits as autumn sets in.These symptoms, known as ‘winter blues’, may cause you to feel low, listless and fatigued for weeks or even months.This affects both personal performance and mood. Blue light therapy is a successful method to fight these winter blues symptoms. It provides your body with summer vitality throughout the dark winter months.

Using the EnergyUp

When to use

Knowing at what time to use the Philips EnergyUp is essential. It may mean the difference between feeling better in a few days instead of weeks and between experiencing benefits or experiencing none. Follow these guidelines to understand how light affects us and when to use the Philips EnergyUp for the best results.

12 ENGLISH

Duration

Most people experience benefits if they use the appliance 20 to 30 minutes each day. It is safe to use the Philips EnergyUp longer, provided you do

so at the correct time of day.You may notice some energising effects of light immediately. Other effects become noticeable after several days of regular use.

Indoor life and energy dips

If you spend a lot of time indoors with little daylight and artificial light, you can experience the energising effects of the Philips EnergyUp very quickly after you switch it on.

Many people experience a natural dip in the afternoon.The Philips EnergyUp can help you counteract this dip.

Winter blues

If you experience lower energy levels, an increased need for sleep, and a lower mood in the dark season compared to spring and summer, use the energy light for 20-30 minutes a day. Preferably use it in the morning to help you start the day.You may also use it later during the day, but do not use it in the last few hours before bedtime. If you do, the light could delay your sleep and make you even less energetic the next day.

Winter depression

If your seasonal mood swings are more severe and you suffer from depression, consult a therapist and only use light therapy under supervision. Your therapist may prescribe 30 minutes of treatment

per day at level 1 or 2 over several weeks.

Sleep patterns

-- Morning persons tend to wake up early in the morning and usually find it difficult to stay awake in the evening. If you want to get more out of your evening, avoid bright light directly after waking up and use the Philips EnergyUp in the evening.

-- Evening persons find it difficult to get up in the morning and are full of energy in the evening. If this applies to you, you need morning light. Use the Philips EnergyUp within the first 1-2 hours after you get out of bed.

Avoid bright light or blue-rich light in the last 4 hours before bedtime. Daily use of the Philips EnergyUp in the morning may help you establish a regular sleep pattern that allows you to function better in the morning.

ENGLISH 13

Note: If your desired wake-up time is less than six hours after your normal bedtime, do not use the Philips EnergyUp immediately after you wake up. This could give your body a signal that is opposite to the one intended.

Jet lag

Rapidly travelling across several time zones puts your internal body clock out of sync with the new external time.This not only causes sleeping problems, but also influences your mood and energy level. If you stay for more than a few days in the other time zone, you may want to shift your body clock to the new time zone.This will help you sleep better and be more alert and energetic when you need to. One of the best strategies to deal with jet lag is to start shifting your body clock and sleep times several days before you leave.

Travelling east

When you travel east , you have to advance your sleep time by a number of hours that equals the time zones you cross.You can shift your body

14 ENGLISH

clock forwards in steps of one hour a day.The number of time zones you cross determines how many days before departure you have to start using the Philips EnergyUp. Use the appliance for 30 minutes after you wake up. Avoid bright light in the evening and go to bed early.When you arrive at your destination, avoid bright light during your normal sleep period. Expose yourself to bright light at the end of this period to advance your body clock further to the local time.

Before your return flight, use the Philips EnergyUp late in the evening for a couple of days. On the last night of the trip, try to stay up and use the appliance as late as possible after midnight. On the day of the flight, avoid any bright light in the morning.

Travelling west

Since most people’s body clocks adjust more easily to later time zones, you only have to use the Philips EnergyUp for one day before you travel across four time zones. Add an additional preparation day for each three additional time zones.You do not have to use the Philips EnergyUp for more than three days, even on longer westbound trips. Use the appliance for 30–40 minutes late in the evening. Start two or three days before you leave. Use the appliance two hours later the following nights.

When you arrive at your destination, try to stay awake until bedtime and avoid bright evening light (wear sunglasses) for the first few days.

Before you travel home, avoid any bright afternoon and evening light. Use the Philips EnergyUp in the morning for a few days.

Light intensity

Use the Philips EnergyUp in addition to the normal room lighting. The Philips EnergyUp is more comfortable to use in a well-lit room.

Adjust the brightness to a comfortable level. Allow a few minutes for your eyes to get used to the bright light. If the highest setting is too bright for you, start using the appliance at a lower setting. Increase the light intensity if you feel no effect after a week.

Introduktion

Tillykke med dit køb, og velkommen til Philips! For at få fuldt udbytte af den support, Philips tilbyder, skal du registrere dit produkt på www.philips.com/welcome.

Læs denne brugervejledning omhyggeligt igennem, før du bruger dette Philips-apparat.

Beregnet anvendelse

Philips-apparatet EnergyUp Intense Blue skal få folk til at føle sig mere energiske, tilpasse deres døgnrytme og lindre eventuel vintertræthed. Dette apparats medicinske anvendelsesformål er at behandle vinterdepression eller SAD (sæsonbetinget affektiv lidelse). Behandling af SAD skal altid foregå under lægetilsyn.

Lys - et naturligt energitilskud

Nutidens travle, moderne livsstil kræver optimal ydeevne dagen lang. Selv de stærkeste personer lider af mangel på energi, særligt når de fratages det naturlige dagslys, f.eks. på et kontor om vinteren. Dagslys er vigtigt for vores velbefindende, så vi kan holde os i form og føle os fulde af energi hele dagen – på samme måde som sund ernæring og regelmæssig motion. Philips EnergyUp Intense Blue efterligner dagslysets naturlige, energiskabende kraft på en klar solskinsdag. Den stimulerer specielle receptorer i øjnene og udløser kroppens naturlige reaktion

på sollys. Dette hjælper dig med at bekæmpe manglen på energi og føle dig mere energisk, aktiv og vågen og med at forbedre dit humør.

Døgnrytmer og søvnmønstre

Menneskets krop bruger lysets signaler, f.eks. dem, der udsendes af solen, til at igangsætte bestemte, indre funktioner. Korrekt timede rytmer regulerer energi, stemning, søvn, appetit og fordøjelse. Disse daglige, indre cyklusser, også kaldet døgnrytmer, falder nogle gange uden for synkroniseringen med naturen, og det kan få indflydelse på vores velbefindende. Naturens signaler styrer ikke længere vores moderne livsstil.Vores dag starter ikke længere ved solopgang og slutter ved solnedgang, arbejdsdagene bliver længere, og mange arbejder på skiftehold. Desuden foregår vores aktiviteter ofte langt ud på natten.

DANSK 27

Mange har tendens til at få for lidt søvn i løbet af ugen, og det mindsker deres energiniveau om dagen. Hvis Philips EnergyUp Intense Blue anvendes på det rigtige tidspunkt af dagen, kan den hjælpe dig med at oprette og forstærke dine regelmæssige søvnmønstre.

Lys via øjnene

Forskningen viser, at en særlig fotoreceptor (lysmodtager) i vores øjne er ansvarlig for reguleringen af vores energi, stemning og søvn-/vågencyklusser. Denne receptor reagerer for det meste på det blå lys fra sommerhimlen.

Vi får ikke meget af dette lys om efteråret og vinteren. De fleste indendørslys giver ikke tilstrækkeligt af denne altafgørende farve. Apparatet hjælper dig til være på toppen ved at levere den bølgelængde, farve og lysintensitet, som vores krop reagerer mest effektivt på.

Vintertræthed

Mangel på lys i de mørkere vintermåneder får mange til at opleve et mærkbart fald i energiniveauet og nedtrykthed, når efteråret sætter ind. Disse symptomer, også kendt som “vintertræthed”, får dig muligvis til

at føle dig nedtrykt, ugidelig og træt i flere uger eller måske måneder. Dette har indflydelse på din personlige ydeevne og dit humør. Blå lysterapi er en virkningsfuld metode til at bekæmpe disse symptomer på vintertræthed. Den forsyner kroppen med sommerens vitalitet gennem de mørke vintermåneder.

Elektromagnetisk kompatibilitet (EMC)

Bærbart og mobilt radiofrekvenskommunikationsudstyr, som f.eks. mobiltelefoner, trådløse telefoner og deres basestationer, walkie-talkier og trådløse hjemmenetværksenheder (routere), kan påvirke Philips EnergyUp. De bør derfor ikke anvendes i nærheden af EnergyUp. Hvis dette ikke kan undgås, skal EnergyUp observeres for at bekræfte normal drift. Hvis der observeres unormal funktion (f.eks. tab af funktionalitet, ujævn belysning, flimmer), kan yderligere foranstaltninger være nødvendige, f.eks. omlægning af radiofrekvenskommunikationsudstyret eller EnergyUp (få flere oplysninger i afsnittet “Oplysninger om EMC” i kapitlet “Specifikationer”).

Brug af EnergyUp

Hvornår bør man bruge apparatet?

Det er vigtigt at vide, på hvilket tidspunkt man skal bruge Philips EnergyUp. Det kan udgøre forskellen mellem at være bedre tilpas nogle få dage i stedet for nogle uger og mellem at opleve positive virkninger eller slet ikke at opnå nogen virkning. Følg disse anvisninger for at forstå, hvordan lys påvirker os, og hvornår man skal bruge Philips EnergyUp for at opnå de bedste resultater.

Varighed

Mange oplever positive virkninger, hvis de bruger apparatet 20 til 30 minutter hver dag. Det er sikkert at anvende Philips EnergyUp i længere tid, forudsat at du gør det på det rigtige tidspunkt på dagen. Du vil måske opleve nogle energigivende virkninger ved lyset med det samme.

Andre virkninger bliver først mærkbare efter flere dages regelmæssig brug.

Livet indenfor og mangel på energi

Hvis du bruger meget tid indendørs med en smule dagslys og kunstigt lys, vil du meget hurtigt opleve den energigivende effekt fra Philips EnergyUp, efter du tænder den.

Mange oplever et naturligt dyk om eftermiddagen. Philips EnergyUp kan hjælpe dig med at modvirke dette dyk.

Vintertræthed

Hvis du oplever at have et lavere energiniveau, et øget behov for søvn og et dårligere humør i den mørke tid sammenlignet med forår og sommer, kan du bruge energilyset i 20-30 minutter om dagen. Det anbefales at bruge den om morgenen som en hjælp til at begynde dagen. Du kan også bruge den senere på dagen, men brug den ikke de sidste par timer, før du går i seng. Hvis du gør det, vil lyset kunne udsætte din søvn og således give dig mindre energi dagen efter.

Vinterdepression

Hvis dine årstidsbestemte stemningsudsving er kraftigere, og du lider af depression, skal du konsultere en terapeut og kun bruge lysterapi under vejledning. Din terapeut kan muligvis ordinere 30 minutters behandling pr. dag ved niveau 1 eller 2 over en periode på flere uger.

Søvnmønstre

-- Morgenmennesker har tendens til at vågne tidligt om morgenen og har normalt vanskeligt ved at holde sig vågne om aftenen. Hvis du vil have mere ud af din aften, skal du undgå stærkt lys, lige efter du vågner, og bruge Philips EnergyUp om aftenen.

-- Aftenmennesker har svært ved at komme op om morgenen og er fulde af energi om aftenen. Hvis dette gælder for dig, har du brug for morgenlys. Brug Philips EnergyUp i de første 1-2 timer, efter du er stået op. Undgå stærkt lys eller meget blåt lys i de sidste 4 timer, inden du går i seng. Daglig brug af Philips EnergyUp om morgenen kan hjælpe dig med at få et regelmæssigt søvnmønster, der giver dig mulighed for at fungere bedre om morgenen.

Bemærk: Hvis din ønskede opvågningstid er mindre end seks timer efter din normale sengetid, må du ikke bruge Philips EnergyUp umiddelbart efter, du er vågnet. Det kan give kroppen et signal, der har den modsatte effekt af det forventede.
