Troubleshooting - Philips HF3500 Manual

ENGLISH
Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to Philips! To fully benefit
from the support that Philips offers, register your product at
www.philips.com/welcome. The Philips Wake-up Light helps you wake
up more pleasantly. The light gently prepares your body for waking up at the
set time. To make waking up an even more pleasant experience, you can use
natural wake-up sounds or the FM radio to wake up to (HF3506, HF3505 only).
The effects of the Wake-up Light
The Philips Wake-up Light gently prepares your body for waking up during
the last 30 minutes of sleep. In the early morning hours our eyes are
more sensitive to light than when we are awake. During that period the
relatively low light levels of a simulated natural sunrise prepare our body
for waking up and getting alert. People who use the Wake-up Light wake
up more easily, have a better overall mood in the morning and feel more
energetic. Because the sensitivity to light differs per person, you can set
the light intensity of your Wake-up Light to a level that matches your light
sensitivity for an optimal start of the day. For more information about the
Wake-up Light, see www.philips.com.
