• Typically, you will recognize when you’ve received sufficient light therapy – most often by feelings of heightened alertness, energy and/or mood. • Refer to the diagram below for proper positioning of the Litebook Elite. Fig. 3 Additional positioning images available at www.litebook.com RECOMMENDED USAGE – SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS ‘WINTER BLUES’ • When we are exposed to bright light first thing in the morning, we feel more alert and optimistic all day long.
SLEEPY TEENS • Teens’ circadian rhythms shift from a morning preference to an evening preference around the time of puberty. Their internal clocks are ‘out of sync’ with their early morning school schedules. Research indicates that students become alert and eager to focus around noon. • Typical usage for bright light exposure is 15-30 minutes each morning, as early as possible upon awakening.
SHIFT-WORK • With proper use of The Litebook Elite, shift workers and people who work irregular hours can feel more alert, energetic, and, in turn, notice an improvement in on-the-job performance. • Use The Litebook Elite at the “start” of your day, whatever hour that may be, and again part way into your shift if you feel the need for an energy boost. • Do not use The Litebook Elite, or get exposure to bright sunlight, at the end of your shift if that is your normal sleep time for that work cycle.
IMPORTANT • USE ONLY AS DIRECTED. • The Litebook Elite emits an intense beam of white light. DO NOT STARE DIRECTLY AT THE LIGHT SOURCE. It is NOT harmful to glance at the light occasionally for a few seconds at a time. • We encourage use of the Litebook Elite while engaged in other activities, such as reading, eating, applying makeup or working at a computer or desk.
Troubleshooting Guide IF… THEN… The indicator lights are flashing RED… Hold the on/off button down for 5 seconds and release. If the indicator lights turn GREEN the unit was in the “timer setting” mode. (The unit will NOT turn on if it is in the “timer setting” mode.) If the indicator LEDs remain RED… Insert a ball point pen or paper clip into the Reset hole (See Fig. 2 on Pg. 2) on the back of the unit and press until you hear a soft click. This will reset the internal software.
