Initial use

Preparation

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 15 cm and 35 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 daylight therapy lamp 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 daylight therapy lamp. The mains part must only be connected to the mains voltage that is specified on the type plate.
• After using the daylight therapy lamp, unplug the mains part from the mains socket first and then disconnect it from the daylight therapy lamp.

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.

Operation

Insert the Mains Part

Insert the mains part into the mains part connector.

Switching on the Lamp

Press the ON/OFF button.

Enjoying the Light

Sit as close as possible to the lamp, between 15 cm and 35 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 daylight therapy lamp 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 6 am and 8 pm, 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 time using the lamp. These will usually go away in later sessions as the nervous system becomes accustomed to the new stimulation.

Important instructions
When using the lamp, maintain the recommended distance of 15 - 35 cm between your face and the lamp. The duration of the application depends on the distance:

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.

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 down sufficiently before you put it away and/or pack it up.

Troubleshooting the Beurer Daylight Therapy Lamp TL 50

Common issues with the **Beurer Daylight therapy lamp TL 50** include no light output, flickering, or overheating. If the lamp doesn't turn on, check the detachable mains adapter connection and ensure the 1.8 m cable is securely plugged into a working Euro flat plug outlet; unplug for 5 minutes to reset.
