Read These Safety Guidelines Before Using Your Daybreak

Observe these safety instructions to avoid potential hazards that could result in personal injuries or damage to your Daybreak.

Safety Tips

• Never connect your Daybreak to a fluorescent, compact fluorescent, low-voltage

halogen lamp, or any lamp with a transformer or ballast. Use incandescent or line-voltage halogen lamps only, up to 200W.

• Do not connect any non-lamp devices to the Daybreak. The Daybreak is engineered to

work with incandescent lamps only.

• Never use damaged or worn cords or plugs—this could result in electric shock, burns,

and/or fire.

• Don’t place objects on top of the power cords or the Daybreak.

• When unplugging the Daybreak or a connected lamp, grasp the plug directly to avoid

damaging the cord. Never pull on the power cord to remove a plug from the socket.

• Avoid spilling liquid into any part of the device. Never expose your Daybreak to water

or rain. The Daybreak is approved for indoor use only.

TrueDawn™ Technology—A Better Way to Wake Up

For eons, our bodies have adapted to sunrise and sunset to know when to wake up and when to sleep. In fact, a master body clock in the brain’s hypothalamus uses these signals to regulate our sleep/wake cycles. When our sleep/wake cycles are working properly, we gradually fall asleep, and slowly wake up. However, modern lifestyles force us to alter our sleep/wake cycles and we miss these important cues. We struggle to wake up and our sleep suﬀ ers.

Your body clock regulates this complicated process by cycling through diﬀ erent hormones and signals that induce sleep or wakefulness.  is cycle is a gradual process—which is why you can’t turn sleep oﬀ or on. Alarm clocks disrupt this cycle, making it more diﬃ cult to feel awake in the morning or sleep well at night. Instead of allowing our bodies to cycle through the last stages of sleep to consciousness, our alarm clocks abruptly jar us awake, interrupting the ﬁ nal stages of sleep.  is causes a condition known as sleep latency and is why you struggle to get out of bed and get going. Sleep latency can last into the day and hurts your ability to get a restful sleep at night.

Our bodies need signals like light and darkness to know when to be alert or when to go to sleep. Gradually increasing light—like sunrise—draws us out of sleep like nature intended.  is scientiﬁ c process, called sunrise simulation, allows your sleep stages to completely cycle, so you awaken refreshed—without sleep latency.

TrueDawn technology wakens you exactly as nature intended by gradually increasing light just like a summer sunrise.  is signals your body to complete its sleep cycle so you awaken when you need to, feeling refreshed and ready to start the day. TrueDawn synchronizes your sleep/wake cycle—helping you wake and sleep better.

Technology

™

Just like sunrise, TrueDawn follows a sigmoidal light curve—the right type of increasing intensity— which signals the body clock without causing premature awakening. Other “dawn simulators” employ an inexpensive linear ramp-up, which can cause premature awakening and is ineﬀ ective at regulating the body clock. When you use your Daybreak, you’ll awaken much easier than ever before with more energy to start the day.

Your Daybreak package includes these items:

• Daybreak Duo device • AC power cord • 9V battery • User guide • Warranty card

Installing the Backup Battery

A 9V battery provides power to enable your Daybreak to retain its settings and continue to keep time during power outages or if the device needs to be unplugged and moved to another location. However, your Daybreak’s features—including the display—will not operate on battery power only. A fresh battery will provide backup power for at least 24 hours. To install the supplied 9V battery into the Daybreak:

1 Using a screwdriver, loosen the screw on the rear battery compartment cover.

2 Remove the cover and retrieve the battery connector from the compartment.

3 Firmly connect the supplied 9V battery. The battery should snap into the connector. Place the

battery into the compartment, connector side first.

4 Replace the cover and tighten the screw. Do not over-tighten. If you

find that the cover does not fit properly, check that the battery is firmly snapped into the connector.

NOTE: To ensure proper operation, you should replace the 9V backup battery every three years, or after a power outage of more than 24 hours.
