Intended Use
The InPulser is a special MP3 player intended to play compressed digital Audio files
that contain specifically calibrated acoustic signals designed to Stimulate the
frequency pattern typical of a healthy and regenerating sleep Cycle. The InPulser and
the audio files stored on SD-card are not a substitute for Appropriate medical
attention by a physician.
WARNING: People with epilepsy or degenerative neurological disorder must
Consult their physician prior to using the Inpulser sleep system. The system Uses
binaural pulsations (binaural beats) that may possibly trigger an epileptic seizure.

4 Steps to start the impulse Therapy
First step:
First take the audio cable (9) of the sound pillow or headphones and insert the Plug
attach end of the cable into the audio jack (8) of the InPulser.
Second step:
Insert the smaller connector (mini-USB) of the included USB cable (5) into the Mini-
USB port (4) of the InPulser.
Third step:
Connect the second end of that cable (5), the one with the larger USB connector, To
the USB power adapter (6) and then connect the power adapter to an electrical
outlet.
The batteries of the InPulser are now being charged.
We recommend charging the unit for 4-5 hours before the first use, and to leave it
connected to the electrical outlet during the night.
After the device has been completely charged you can start the InPulser therapy
immediately.
Fourth Step
Please set the volume to the minimum sound loud level that you can hear.
To Do so;
lie down with your ear directly on the pillow. Make sure that there are no other
competing sounds in your room such as a television or radio.

Turning On and Off
Turn device on and off by pushing the blue lever on the left side slowly upwards (On)
and downwards (off). The large LED ring in the center of the unit will illuminate for a
few seconds in blue when the unit is turned on. After you are finished using the
Audio Therapy turn off the device by pushing the blue lever on the side downwards.
The system will turn off automatically after 12 hours.
Volume Control
The InPulser stimulates the brain through acoustic signals. Therefore, the individual
adjustment of the volume is particularly important for your therapeutic effect. It
should be loud enough for you to perceive a sound, but at the same time low enough
that after a couple of minutes you do not actively notice that sound anymore. In
other words, barely audible!
The InPulser has a particularly fine volume control, primarily in the low range around
25 dB(A). The control knob has two directional arrows, turning right in a clockwise
manner increases the volume. Do not be surprised if, when first using the device, you
have to turn the knob right or left many times until you find the volume that fits you.
The device remembers your settings, so the next time you start it, you do not have to
make any adjustments.

LED Ring
Below the central control knob is a LED illuminated ring that
displays important additional information.
Dark Blue: Volume up
Light Blue: Volume down
Dark Red: Battery is almost empty,
please recharge (the charging
time for a fully discharged
battery is about 4 hours)
Installing and Removing the SD Card
Insert the card with the cut-off corner pointing up into the slot on the right side of
the device. Insert it deep enough for the card to snap into place and only 0.04 in of
the card remains visible.
Removing or changing the card is now only possible by pushing the card again.

Resetting to Factory Settings
You can reset the InPulser to its factory settings by using a paper clip or a similar fine
object to press down the reset button in the hole on the back of the device.
Before resetting please switch off the device and disconnect it from the electrical
outlet!
On the side you will find another small button. This is not relevant for the therapy –
it only serves to perform future firmware updates.

Recommended Usage
Connect your InPulser to an electrical power source. You should always leave it
connected to the electrical outlet to ensure the continuing therapeutic effect during
the whole night. Use the battery when traveling or for power napping during the
day. The capacity of the battery can slowly decrease over the years.
We recommend the Infrasonics Audio Pillow as the best way to deliver the sleep
therapy. The use of loudspeakers can result in less optimal results. Connect your
InPulser to the audio pillow with the stereo jack connector. Adjust the volume as
described un- the Volume Control. Lie down in your bed, relax, and let the InPulser‘s
acoustic signals accompany you during your sleep.
Please note: sleeping disorders can have organic, psychological or other causes.
If your sleeping problems persist for an extended period of time, you should visit a
physician.
Duration of treatment
Clinical studies performed in Germany seem to confirm the efficacy of the InPulser
sleep therapy. Several patients reported an improvement of their sleep. Some cases,
improvement were achieved after a few nights’ of therapy. Especially in sleep tuning,
users reportedly felt a increase of their daily performance level. For others (mainly
patients with many years of sleep disturbances), it took longer. We recommend you
to be patient.
Please use the therapy entirely passively, meaning you should not focus on the tones
or wait with anticipation for symptoms that you are falling asleep. That would just
make you feel tense and would delay the effects of the therapy.
In the beginning progress is usually not clearly perceptible to you although probably
noticeable when using scientific methods (e.g. EEG). - Please stick to the application
guidelines. Use the InPulser each night for at least eight-weeks. Only then will you
have a real chance that the therapy will potentially work for you.
Contraindications
There are no known contraindications for Infrasonics’ InPulser sleep therapy.
However, your particular medical condition may dictate whether or not the InPulser
sleep therapy can be tolerated. Consult your doctor.
Keep the InPulser away from moisture and heat and avoid any kind of impact.

The InPulser
Developed specifically for the Insomnia sleep therapy, the InPulser neurostimulator
of infrasonics presents new dimension in the playback of audio frequencies. With a
24bit resolution and a sampling rate of 96 kHz it transmits audio signals far better
than commercially available MP3 players (the Somnia SD modules are therefore
playable only on the InPulser). The playback quality corresponds to that of recording
studios and thus is superior to common commercial players. In addition, the volume
can be adjusted so fine that tones and sounds remain clearly perceptible even at the
lowest setting.
The InPulser only works with the Audio Therapy Cards from Infrasonics and a
qualified speaker source (audio pillow for the nightly sleep therapy or headphones
for the power napping during the day).

Infrasonics Canada Inc.
The audio therapies
Infrasonics offer different modules for the InPulser:
Somnia 1
Somnia 1 Card, the basic module of the sleep therapy, is included
in the purchase of the InPulser. The 90-minute audio therapy
covers the length of the human sleep cycle and is played by the
InPulser throughout the night.
Somnia 2-4 Cards
Somnia 2-4 complement Somnia 1. After several
months, you may get use to the frequency pattern of
Somnia 1 and may begin to ignore it. Once you do
not notice it‘s effect anymore for more than two
weeks, switch to the next
Somnia card - but not earlier. Switching cards
frequently may not support reaching the desired
therapeutic effect.
Power Napping
It is well known that a short napping during the day (e.g. after lunch)
may positively effectively to concentrate, productivity, energy and well
feeling. The power-napping module allows you to use it for 20 minutes,
without letting you sleep overly deep and far too long.
Caution: Never use the power-napping module for the night sleep.
It will wake you up automatically every 20 minutes.
