Please note: The Inpulser Sleep Therapy uses so called binaural pulsaons
(“binaural beats”). In use and in scienc tests no side eects were found. Never-
theless, users who suer from epilepsy or degenerave neurological disorders
should rst consult their physician before using the inPulser.

1. Preparing your inPulser
• Please charge the unit for 4 to 5 hours before inial use.
• We recommend keeping it plugged into the power supply during use.
• Alternavely, you can use it for up to 2 nights with the built-in baery
and then recharge it.

2. Connecting the pillow to the inPulser
• Insert the plug into the audio socket unl it clicks.

5a. Proper positioning of the DreamWave
pillow
• Posi on the sound bar under your neck.
• Plug the cord into the inPulser next to the bed.

9
5b. Proper positioning of the Professional
pillow
• Do not use the Professional pillow as a pillow under your head!
• Put the Professional pillow behind your head; the pillow strap goes over the
top of the headboard and acts as a counterweight so that the pillow stays
upright - does not p over.
• Place your own pillow in front of the Professional pillow on the maress and
place your head on it as you usually do.

10
6. Starting the sleep system
• You have now successfully installed the system.
• Start the inPulser at your chosen volume (as quiet as possible) right when
you want to fall asleep, and no sooner.
• Adjust volume during the night as needed if you think it is not quiet enough.
• Leave the system on all night. Turn it o when you get up in the morning.
• If you used the ba ery, recharge it during the day.
We hope you sleep well – your sleep should adjust within just a few weeks.

Detailed operating instructions for the
inPulser(1)
Turning the unit on and o
To turn the unit on and o, please briey press the buon(2) at the center of the
device. The indicator light(3) beneath it will ash blue, signaling that the inPulser
is now on. This status indicator will turn o by itself aer about 20 seconds so
that the light does not bother you at night.
Aer about 5 seconds of startup me, you can switch the device o again at any
me. To do so, briey press the on/o buon again; the LED light will glow red,
and the inPulser will be o.
Setting the proper volume
The inPulser smulates the brain with targeted acousc signals. That is why it
is so important to set your own ideal volume if you want the system to work.
Please set it at a level that you will not nd disrupve at night, when condions
are usually quieter. If your hearing is normal, we recommend the quietest seng.
A higher volume will not increase the eecveness; the default minimum volume
is enrely adequate.
To set the volume, simply press the + buon(4) to increase the volume, and use
the – buon(5), to lower the audio output. The unit will save your seng so you
do not need to reset it the next me you start it up. If you nd the sound too
loud during the night, please turn down the volume. Leave it at the same level
when you go to sleep the next night.
Using a power cord or battery
We recommend keeping the inPulser plugged in at night. That ensures it will
repeat the 90-minute sleep cycle all night long.
The power supply(6) is connected using the included USB cable(7) which in turn is
connected to the corresponding port(8) on the inPulser.

13
Fundamentally, however, it is also possible to run the inPulser on baeries. The
charging me is about ve hours, and then you can use the device for more than
20 hours without plugging it in. Please be sure to recharge the unit aer two
nights if possible. The system will not be overcharged even if you charge it for
more than ve hours.
Inserting and removing the SD card
Insert the card into the slot(9) at the
boom of the inPulser, with the beveled
corner facing forward, unl the card
clicks into place and only 1 mm is le
visible.
To remove or switch cards, you must
push the card back in so that it is relea-
sed from the locking spring and can be
pulled out.
Factory reset
You can restore the factory sengs for the inPulser by using a paperclip or similar
object to press the reset buon in the hole(10) on the back of the device. Please
be sure to turn o and unplug the device rst.

Pillow instructions
DreamWave sound pillow
The DreamWave pillow is designed for use as a normal pillow. Use the Dream-
Wave as a neck support pillow, placing the taller end with the built-in sound bar
directly under your neck. That will give you the most eecve results.
DreamWave care instructions
• Cover is machine washable at 40 °C
• Do not put in the dryer; iron on low
• Sub-cover is not washable (may shrink)
• Foam core is not washable
Removing the sound bar
1. Open the zipper on the back.
2. Remove the pillow with the jersey cover.
3. Remove the thin jersey cover.
4. On the back of the pillow is a slot for inserng the sound bar. Please remove
the bar carefully.

15
Professional sound pillow
The Professional pillow is not designed to be used directly as a pillow. Connue
using your regular pillow, and set the Professional pillow up behind your head.
Hang the strap with the counterweight over your headboard. This is simply used
to keep the pillow upright.
Professional care instructions
• Cover is machine washable at 40 °C; please remove the metal weight at the
end of the strap before washing!
• Do not put in the dryer; iron on low
• Sub-cover is not washable (may shrink)
• Foam core is not washable
Removing the sound bar
• See previous page (as described for the DreamWave sound pillow).

16
Troubleshooting
The inPulser does not turn on (no
sound)
• Is the device charged and/or
plugged in?
• Does the blue diode glow when
you turn it on? If so, the connec-
on to the sound pillow may be
incorrect.
• The memory card may not be
inserted correctly.
The volume is too low • Increase volume by pressing the
plus buon
The volume is too high • Reduce volume by pressing the
minus buon
Music only comes out of one side of
the sound pillow
• Make sure the audio jack for the pil-
low(11) is properly connected to the
audio socket(12) on the inPulser.

Software – additional modules
Amadeus 1
The basic sleep treatment module, included in purchases and
in the test set. The 90-minute audio treatment covers the
length of the human sleep cycle and is repeated all night long
by the inPulser Healthplayer.
Amadeus 2 and 3
A er a few months, your brain will get used to the frequency
response of Amadeus 1 and will begin to ignore it. If A er two
weeks have passed without any further success, switch to the
next Sleepware – but no sooner (constantly changing cards
will have a nega ve impact on their e ec veness).
Junior
Children about 10 and up can use our sleep system exactly
the same way that adults do. However, a child’s sleep cycles
are di erent from an adult’s un l about age 17-18; that is why
we have adapted Sleepware precisely for the sleep cycles of
children and teenagers.
Napware
According to a NASA study, a short, restora ve midday nap
signi cantly improves produc vity and helps restore the body.
With the Napware module, we o er you a tool that has been
tested in large industrial companies, among other places, to
give you a brief deep-sleep phase in just 20 minutes. That way
you avoid the typical post-nap exhaus on. As a result, you are
in be er shape and have more energy to tackle the rest of
your day, and your concentra on skills will be demonstrably
improved. Also ideal for work or studying. The Infrasonics
powernapping system is now used by professional athletes to
achieve targeted performance improvements.
