HF3308
The advisable duration of the light bath depends on the distance at which the appliance is used:
- approx. 2 hours at a distance of 60cm
- approx. 1 hour at a distance of 40cm
- approx. 30 minutes at a distance of 20cm
HF3309
1 Turn the distance selection ring to the appropriate position to set the distance.
2 Turn the light intensity ring to the appropriate position to set the light intensity .
- When you set the distance selection ring to 20, 40 or 60cm, the display automatically shows the
duration of the light bath. You can always adapt this time by setting a different light intensity.
Lowering the light intensity leads to a longer duration and vice versa. For example, when you
select the maximum light intensity and a distance of 20cm, the duration of the light bath
becomes 30 minutes.
- It is possible that the display does not show a light bath duration. This indicates that the set
distance and light intensity will not yield the positive effects that can be expected if the
prescribed combination of distance and time is observed. This may for instance occur if you
select a too long distance (60cm) in combination with a low light intensity.
- When you set the distance ring to the manual setting, you can use the appliance when you are
unable to sit at a set distance from it. At this setting, you can adjust the light intensity but the
display does not show a light bath duration. Because no distance has been selected, the effect
cannot be measured or guaranteed.
Note: When you switch on the appliance, it starts to operate at the highest light intensity. After a few
seconds, the light intensity adjusts to the level you have selected.
 Position yourself near the appliance and turn the screen in such a way that you can
comfortably look in the direction of the light (Fig. ).
Make sure there is a distance between your face and the screen of 20 to 60cm.

- HF3309 only: The energy level indicator shows the total amount of energy that has already been
emitted during the light bath. The indicator is divided into ten parts that each represent 10% of
the emitted energy.

better, you can interrupt your light bath and continue later.

6 Look into the light every now and then.
Do not look into the light continuously! You can simply engage in other activities such as reading,
writing, embroidering or handicraft while taking a light bath and look into the light every now and
then.
 Repeat the light baths until you feel better.
Generally, improvements occur within 1 week.
You may repeat the light bath as often as you like during the dark period of the year.Take a light
bath on at least 5 successive days.
8 HF08: Switch off the appliance after use.

flash for 1 minute. After this minute, the energy level indication also starts to flash until the appliance
automatically switches off.
