INTRODUCTION You have purchased the most innovative, high quality Audio-Visual Entrainment (AVE) device available on the market today. The DAVID SMART integrates the necessary principles of audio/visual stimulation to safely and effectively guide the user into desired states of consciousness and maximum brain functioning.
SESSION CONTROLS VOLUME The volume level affects both tones and the heartbeat together. There are 30 volume levels. To adjust the volume, press and release or press and hold the VOL or buttons. The graph will display the volume level. The volume cannot be adjusted during Soft Off™. The volume, intensity, and power buttons are raised to help you find them easily with eyes closed. INTENSITY The intensity level affects the brightness of the lights in the eyeset. There are 15 eyeset intensity levels.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS SETUP The headphones connect to the headphone output jack ( ). When using an Extra User Package (sold separately), connect the 3.5mm splitter cable to the SMART and connect each set of headphones to the splitter cable. Please ensure that you have the side marked “L” on your left ear and the side marked “R” on your right ear. It is recommended that you disconnect the headphones from the unit before storing or travelling to prevent accidental damage to the jack.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS TURN ON/TURN OFF Press and hold the power button ( ) until the power LED turns on. The graph (between the VOL and INT controls) will display the battery level when you first turn on the unit (see Battery Level). If no session is selected within two (2) minutes, the SMART will turn off. At the end of a session, the lights and sound will fade out (Soft Off™) and the SMART will automatically turn off.
QUICK START Find a comfortable spot Sessions are an average of 30 minutes. Find a place where you won’t be disturbed. Dark, quiet places are better. Stay hydrated Drink a glass of water at least 15 minutes before your session. Staying hydrated will help to prevent headaches or feeling groggy. Connect power Insert the 9V battery according to the diagram inside the battery compartment. Or connect the 9V adapter to the jack.

SMART SESSIONS Energize 1 – Energizer (20 min) Energize 2 – Super Energizer (18 min) The Energize sessions are a great way to get going in the morning. Use them as a caffeine-free burst of energy. Try Super Energizer for more energizing results. Meditate 1 –Brain Break (20 min) Meditate 2 – Deep Meditation (40 min) The Meditate sessions are a great way to calm down, relax, and re-focus. Brain Break can be used any time for a quick recharge while Deep Meditation is better for unwinding and de-stressing.
SOUND SYNC SESSIONS The SMART has the ability to use sound to run a special session for relaxation and lucid dreaming effects. To start a sound sync session, connect your audio device (eg CD or MP3 player) to the audio in jack ( ) with the 3.5mm stereo patch cord provided. Turn on the SMART, but do not select a session. Start the playback on the audio device. After a short period (about 10 seconds) the SMART will detect the audio and enter sound sync mode.
