Introduction  
Congratulations on your purchase of the Verilux® Rise & Shine® Natural Sleep  
System. With the Rise & Shine, you’ll sleep well and wake refreshed, in tune with  
your circadian rhythms – on your own schedule.  
Sound options  
The Rise & Shine is a FM radio, USB and SD Card player and alarm clock with  
LED light panel in a stylish bedside unit. An AUX IN connection lets you hear great  
fidelity from your iPod® or other audio device.  
Come morning, the Rise & Shine light panel slowly brightens and the high-fidelity  
speaker increases in volume over 5-30 minutes as you wake gently to one of eight  
included “nature sounds,” your favorite FM radio station, USB or SD music.  
Light options  
Your Rise & Shine’s LED light panel – which incorporates both blue and white  
LEDs — helps you to fall asleep and wake at a gentle, gradual pace.  
At night, the LED panel’s white LEDs dim gradually over your chosen “sleep  
duration” as you fall asleep. The light panel has 20 brightness levels — and you  
can also use an optional external lamp, which will dim and brighten to help you  
sleep or wake.  
For the Sleep Cycle, you set the initial brightness level for the cycle. When the  
Sleep Cycle begins, the light will begin at this level then continue to dim until the  
Sleep duration ends.  
In the morning, both white and blue light gradually brighten to help you wake  
refreshed.  
The use of light from both the LED light panel and an external lamp are optional.  
You may choose:  
no light  
LED light only  
an external lamp only  
both LED light and external lamp light  
For the Sleep Cycle, only the white LEDs are lit, then dimmed. The blue LEDs are  
used only in the Wake Cycle.

Setting up your Rise & Shine®  
Unpacking  
Please check your shipping carton for the following items:  
Verilux® Rise & Shine Natural Sleep System  
AC power cord  
External FM antenna  
Secure Digital (SD) Card  
Selecting a location  
Place your Rise & Shine on a table or other flat surface near your bedside.  
For best performance, place it within two feet of a wall and avoid placing it in  
a corner.  
Avoid placing it on a metal surface; this could interfere with FM reception.  
Avoid placing close to heat-radiating products, such as heaters. Do not place  
on top of appliances that radiate heat.  
No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on this  
device.  
Connecting to Power  
1. Plug the AC adapter cable into the power connector on the rear panel labeled  
120V-60Hz.  
2. Plug the power supply cord into an AC wall outlet.  
Connecting an Auxiliary Lamp  
If you wish to supplement the Rise & Shine LED light panel with an auxiliary lamp:  
Plug the AC power cord of a lamp with an incandescent bulb of not more than 100  
watts into the Auxiliary Lamp connector socket on the rear of the Rise & Shine.

Operating your Rise & Shine®  
Your Rise & Shine has a wealth of features. Using them is made simple by the  
Rotary Selector Control/Selector Button, the large round knob on the front panel of  
the unit.  
The Rotary Selector Control knob is used to make selections from displayed  
menus, by turning the knob right or left, and is also used to enter your choices, by  
pressing the knob, which doubles as a “press-to-choose” button.You then “press-  
to-choose” your selection by pressing the Rotary Selector Control.  
For example:  
Turn the Rotary Selector Control left (down) or right (up) to change the FM  
frequency.  
Turn the Rotary Selector Control right to move down menus.  
Turn the Rotary Selector Control left to move up menus.  
When playing MP3’s, turn the Rotary Selector Control to navigate file  
directories on a SD Card or USB Drive.  
The Audio Input Selector  
The Audio Input Selector is used to select AUX, FM, USB Drive or SD Card audio  
input. Turning the control to OFF means that no audio input is selected.  
Controlling the Volume  
The Volume Control sets the volume for FM, USB and SD inputs. Volume for an  
AUX device is also controlled by the Volume Control. Volume for some devices  
may also be controlled by the device that is attached to the AUX input. The volume  
of an iPod®, for example, can be controlled by both the iPod and the Rise & Shine  
Volume Control.  
Using the Brightness Control  
The Rise & Shine Brightness Control has two purposes:  
To set the initial brightness for the Sleep Cycle.  
To set the brightness of the LED light panel and optional auxiliary lamp for  
general lighting, when not in a Sleep or Wake Cycle.  
When the Sleep Cycle begins (when you press the Sleep button), the current  
Brightness Control setting is used as the initial brightness for the Sleep Cycle.
