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.
