Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Verilux® Rise & Shine® Natural Sleep
System. With the Rise & Shine, you’ll fall asleep peacefully and wake refreshed
with soothing, ambient lighting and sound, customized to your preferences.
Sound options
The Rise & Shine provides relaxing and rejuvenating sleeping and waking
experiences with an FM radio and an MP3 player that can support up to 800
MP3 fi les from a USB thumb drive or SD card. Additionally, an AUX IN connection
allows you to connect to external audio sources, including iPods®, as another
option to customize the audio portion of your sleeping and waking experience.
Come morning, the Rise & Shine light panel will slowly brighten as your selected
audio increases in volume over 5, 15 or 30 minutes. Find serenity when waking
gently to one of eight included natural ambient soundscapes, your favorite FM
radio station, MP3 songs, talk therapy programs or books.
Light options
Your Rise & Shine’s LED light panel – which incorporates both blue and white
LEDs — helps you to fall asleep and wake at a gentle, gradual pace.
At night, the LED panel’s white LEDs dim gradually over your chosen “sleep
duration” as you fall asleep. The light panel has 20 brightness levels — and you
can also use an optional external lamp, which will dim and brighten automatically
with the LED panel to help you sleep or wake.
For the Sleep Cycle, you set the initial brightness level for the cycle. When the
Sleep Cycle begins, the white LEDs will begin at this level then continue to dim
until the Sleep Cycle duration ends.
In the morning, fi rst blue then white light gradually brightens to help you wake
refreshed. The blue LED’s are only used in the wake-up program to provide
additional stimulus to your body’s waking functions.
The use of light from both the LED light panel and an external lamp are optional.
You may choose:
• no light • LED light only
• an external lamp only • both LED light and external lamp light

Listening to USB MP3 Songs
The USB Port on the front panel of the Rise & Shine® is used to listen to MP3
audio fi les on USB Flash Drives, also known as “Thumb Drives.”
Your Rise & Shine can play MP3 audio on all standard USB Drives, regardless of
memory capacity. There are limits of not more than 800 MP3 fi les and not more
than 100 directories (or “folders”) per USB Drive.
Files on USB Drives can be placed in folders and subfolders before being copied
to a USB Drive. This directory structure is maintained on the USB Drive, but
nested folders are displayed “fl attened” to a single column, not shown as nested
sub-directories.
Note: Instructions for placing music onto your own USB or SD card are not
provided with this manual. Please visit the Verilux
website for a link to a website that will provide
instructions how to perform this activity.
Note: Only MP3 fi les can be played and only
directories containing MP3 fi les will be displayed.
1. Insert a USB Flash Drive or other USB device into
the USB Port on the front panel. As with CD and
DVD discs, USB Drives have a proper “up” side. If the USB
Drive doesn’t insert easily don’t force it. Flip it over and
try again. There should only be a slight resistance as you
insert the drive into the port.
2. Turn the Audio Input Selector to USB.
3. The display will show SEARCHING then LOADING as it
reads the USB memory.
When the contents of the USB Drive are read, the display
shows the USB fi le structure.
If the MP3 fi les were copied directly to the USB Drive,
without being fi rst placed in folders, ROOT will be

Listening to SD MP3 Songs
The SD/MMC Card Reader is used to listen to MP3 fi les on Flash Memory Secure
Digital (SD) Cards, also known as Multi-Media Cards (MMC). An SD card with prerecorded selections is included with your Rise & Shine®.
SD Card memory capacity varies. Your Rise & Shine can play audio on all standard
SD Cards, up to 2 gigabyte (GB) capacity. There are also limits of not more than
800 MP3 fi les and not more than 100 directories (or “folders”) per SD Card.
Note: Only MP3 fi les can be played and only directories containing MP3 fi les will
be displayed.
Inserting an SD Card
Insert an SD Card into the SD/MMC Card Reader
slot on the front panel. Insert the card with the label
up and the exposed pins facing down. As you push
in the card, you’ll notice a slight springy resistance.
Push a bit more until you feel the card stop. When
you release your fi nger, the card will engage and
spring back very slightly to be almost fl ush with the
front panel.
Removing an SD Card
To remove an SD Card, push it in with your fi nger and release. The card will spring
out slightly, and you can easily remove it.

you can enhance your listening experience by playing the device
through your Rise & Shine® using the AUX IN jack on the rear panel.
Connecting an audio device requires one of the following cables:
• Male-to-male 3.5 mm (1/8") stereo cable (this would be used,
for example, to connect an iPod
• Dual RCA male to 3.5 mm (1/8") male stereo cable (to connect,
for example, the left and right stereo outputs of an external
device to the Rise & Shine AUX IN).
To Connect an Audio Device to AUX IN
1. Connect one end of the stereo cable to the output of the
audio device.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the AUX IN jack on
the rear panel.
3. Turn the Audio Input Selector to AUX.

Using Headphones
For private listening, connect headphones to the headphone jack on
the rear panel using a 1/8 inch “mini” headphone jack.
The speaker is automatically muted when you plug in your
headphones.
Note: The speaker will automatically unmute when headphones
are disconnected. Because headphone volume may vary from
speaker volume, be sure to lower the volume before connecting or
disconnecting headphones.
CAUTION: Long-term exposure to loud music may cause hearing damage. Avoid
extreme volume when using headphones, especially for extended periods.
Using the External FM Antenna
To improve FM reception, you may wish to use the included
external FM antenna.
Connecting an external FM antenna:
1. Plug the 3.5 mm (1/8") plug of the FM antenna into the
EXTERNAL ANTENNA jack on the rear panel.
2. Straighten the antenna and position to establish optimum
reception.
Maintaining Your Rise & Shine
Your Rise & Shine is made from high quality materials and will last for many years
with a minimum of care.
Use only a soft, dry cloth to clean the enclosure of your Rise & Shine
Natural Sleep System. DO NOT USE SOLVENTS OR CLEANERS
CONTAINING ABRASIVES OR AMMONIA.

Changing the Fuse
You may need to replace the Rise & Shine® fuse if it no longer brightens and dims
your auxiliary lamp with your Wake and Sleep settings. In order to replace the
fuse, do the following:
• You will need to go to the back of
the unit. There is a black circular
plastic head that holds the fuse.
The part is labeled 1A, 250V.
• Use a fl at head screwdriver and
carefully turn the black head to
the left (counter-clockwise).
• Remove the black head. It will
appear as black cylinder when
you pull it out. The fuse is inside
the cylinder.
• Pull the fuse out.
• Replace the fuse with an identical 1 amp fuse.
Note: Take the fuse to a hardware store to locate a replacement
fuse if you do not have a replacement fuse on hand.
