How to Mask Distractions all Night

Your Deep Sleep unit is powerful enough to be used anywhere in the room and placing the unit away from your beside will fill the room with soothing sound, masking all external distractions. If you wish to help drown out sounds located within the bedroom (like a snoring partner), place your Deep Sleep unit directly at your bedside—preferably on a nightstand - and position the speaker toward you.

How to Use Your Deep Sleep

Once you have decided where to place your Deep Sleep for optimal results, follow these steps to create your perfect sleep environment.

1. Press the POWER button (Fig 1)
   
2. Press the button to scroll through the sound selections. Each tone name will light up as selected. We have FOUR distinct tones—one is sure to be right for you:
   Soothe: Like a soft rain, this tone has the lightest pitch- easing your mind gently
   Mask: Effectively blocks external distractions including noisy neighbors and highway traffic
   Relax: Modulated to disrupt interfering room noise, such as snoring
   Calm: The deepest of all tones- perfect for tinnitus sufferers or small children
3. Once you select the tone that suits your needs, you can adjust the sound by pressing the TONE button (Fig 1) up and down. Press and hold the "+" symbol to remove bass and achieve a higher pitch. Press and hold the "-" symbol to add bass and achieve a lower pitch.
4. Finally, to adjust the VOLUME, press and hold the "+" or "-" symbols on the VOL button (Fig 1).
   Your Deep Sleep unit is now set. When you wake in the morning and power off the unit—don't fret. You will not have to reset your choices. Your Deep Sleep is programmed to remember your settings when you power the unit back on.

Using the Auto-Timer

1. When the power is on and you are listening to a white noise tone, you may set a timer so the unit will automatically turn off.
2. Toggle through the TIMER button (Fig. 2) until the corresponding LED illuminates next to the time of your choice, 30, 60 or 90 minutes. The unit will automatically shut off after the selected time and the POWER LED (Fig. 2) will remain lit showing you it is still in timer mode. If you chose to listen to another timed sound, press the timer button to select a desired time.
   Or if you choose to listen to the sounds continuously, turn the unit off and then back on.
   NOTE: Do not select the TIMER button if you wish to listen to the sounds continuously.
