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 intensity of the lamp
gradually increases to the set level in the 30 minutes before the set wake-up time. The light gently
prepares your body for waking up at the programmed time. To make waking up an even more
pleasant experience, you can use natural wake-up sounds, the FM radio or even music from your
own iPod/iPhone. The Wake-up Light can be used as a speaker for your iPod/iPhone, which is
charged automatically when it is connected to the Wake-up Light. You can use the dusk
function to have the Wake-up Light dim the light and sound gradually before they are completely
switched off at the time you set.
Note: Only the HF3490 supports the iPod/iPhone function. The iPod/iPhone function is not supported by
other Philips Wake-up Lights.
the effects of the Wake-up light
The Philips Wake-up Light gently prepares your body for waking up during the last half hour 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.
