Colorpulse (U3); Micropulse (U4); Troubleshooting - Sirius Satellite Radio Mind State Optimizer User Manual

User Mode 3 (U3): ColorPulse
ColorPulse transforms the beat of your favorite tapes and
CDs into patterns of pulsing light. It works best with music
with a distinctive beat. You can fine-tune the light show ef-
fects by adjusting the sensitivity with the left-hand dial. Try
this with spoken word tapes and CDs—the lights trigger
with every spoken word. It's quite entrancing!
To use ColorPulse
1. Choose Mode U 3
2. Plug one end of the patch cord included with your sys-
tem into your CD player, and the other end into either of the
audio jacks located on the side of the unit (below the DC
adapter input). Plug your headphones into the remaining
jack.
3. Adjust ColorPulse's sensitivity response to music by
turning the left-hand dial. Adjust brightness with the right-
hand dial. Start by setting these approximately in the middle
range. Volume adjustment is handled at your music source.
User Mode 4 (U4): MicroPulse
The built in microphone picks up sounds around you and
passes them through the ColorPulse circuitry. It's very
useful if, for example, you are sitting in your living room
12
listening to music and are too far away to connect the Sirius
directly to the stereo. Simply choose this mode and lie back.
The sounds coming from your loudspeakers will trigger the
lights so you see patterns dancing in time with the music.
Increase or decrease the way the patterns change by ad-
justing the left-hand sensitivity dial.

To use the MicroPulse Mode
Choose Mode U4
The lights will begin to blink, indicating that you are in
Microphone Mode. The music has to be loud enough for
the sensitive circuitry to pick up the beat. You may use the
sensitivity and the brightness dials to make adjustments.
Start by setting these approximately in the middle range.

Troubleshooting

The unit does not seem to be working properly. If for
any reason your unit does not seem to operate as ex-
pected, first try replacing the batteries. Do not use NiCad
cells.
The sound is not working correctly or only coming
through one ear. Check the headphones. Make sure you
have the headphone plug pushed all the way into the jack.
Also, try the other audio jack. If sound continues to be a
problem try a different pair of headphones to determine if
there is a problem with the unit.
The Audio Strobe or ColorPulse mode is operating
in an erratic manner. If the Audio Strobe or ColorPulse
functions seem to operate improperly or not as expected
first try changing your CD or tape player volume. Also ex-
periment with the sensitivity and brightness levels. If it still
seems to function incorrectly, try using another CD player
before assuming the problem is with the Sirius.
