1Introduction
Lumie Bodyclock Elite wakes you with a sunrise that naturally helps
to regulate your sleep and wake patterns.You’ll wake up in a better
mood, find it easier to get up and feel more energetic during the
day. There’s also a fading sunset to help you unwind at the end of
the day and drift off to sleep.
In clinical trials,‘dawn simulators’such as Bodyclock Elite have been
shown to improve mood, energy, productivity and the quality of
sleep and awakening*.They can also help SAD (Seasonal Affective
Disorder) and winter blues sufferers cope with dark winter
mornings.
Lumie was the first to launch a dawn simulator range and began
selling an early version of Bodyclock in 1993.
Please read these instructions carefully to get the most out of your
Bodyclock Elite.

2Important!
!Do not use Bodyclock Elite if the lamp cover is broken, damaged or
missing. If you need to remove the lamp cover, unplug the unit first
and let it cool down.
!The lamp cover gets warm when the light is on so keep the unit
clear of anything that may be damaged by heat.Take care that you
don’t accidentally cover the unit with your bedding!
!Do not open the base – there are no user-serviceable parts inside.
!For indoor use only. Keep away from water and damp.
!Clean only with a dry or lightly moistened cloth.
!Always use the correct bulb (maximum 42W E14 halogen bulb).
Replacements are available from Lumie.
!It’s possible there may be some interference between this product
and other electronic products close by, notably mobile phones.
Usually this is in the form of audible noise and all you need do is
move them apart.
!Keep the cable away from heated surfaces.
!At the end of its life, do not throw the unit out with normal
domestic waste. Please take it to an official recycling point
to be disposed of responsibly.

!You’ve finished basic programming. The display will revert to
normal (after 12 seconds) and any changes will be saved.
Note: When you next access programs, the display will show your new
settings. All settings are saved if the unit is unplugged or if there’s a
power failure.
Once you’ve been using Bodyclock Elite for a few days, you might
like to change this basic set-up; for full details and additional
options see Programming features.
5Using Bodyclock Elite
Ideally, you should use Waking up with the sunrise alarm all year
round to help keep your sleep/wake cycle on track. But life’s not like
that. When you don’t need an alarm explains how to use Bodyclock
Elite and still enjoy a lie-in.
Waking up with a sunrise alarm
When you’re ready to sleep, turn on the alarm. This also activates
the sunset and auto-dim display* to help create a relaxing sleeping
environment.When you wake up with the sunrise, simply turn off
the alarm.
Note: *These are the basic sleep features but any others you have
programmed will also be activated. For more details see Sleep sound
and Nightlight.
!Use the Lamp +to turn on the light.
!When you’re ready to sleep, push A up to turn on the sunrise alarm
(display shows alarm time briefly and A).
!The display dims and the light starts to slowly fade (sunset).
!If you don’t want a sunset, simply use the Lamp –button to turn out
the light.

Bodyclock Elite functions: a 30-minute sunrise to wake you up,
including an audible alarm for added reassurance; an optional 30-
minute sunset to help you sleep; and auto-dimming display.
!You can only program Bodyclock Elite when the alarm is turned off
so make sure the Abutton is down (alarm time / Ais not showing).

!When you wake up, push Adown to turn off the alarm and use
Lamp –to turn out the light.
!To‘snooze’, instead of turning off the alarm, use Lamp –to dim the
light.
!After 9 minutes the light reaches full brightness and the audible
alarm sounds again.
!When you’re ready to get up, push Adown to turn off the alarm and
use Lamp –to turn out the light.
Note: Both the light and the audible alarm will turn off after 20 minutes
if they are not turned off manually.
When you don’t need an alarm
If you’re looking forward to a lie-in, instead of turning on the alarm
when you’re ready to sleep, follow the sequence below. This activates
the sunset and auto-dim display features to help create a relaxing
sleeping environment but without a sunrise to wake you up.
!Use the Lamp +button to turn on the light.
!When you’re ready to sleep, press both Lamp –and +buttons at the
same time (display shows SUNSET).
!The display dims and the light starts to slowly fade (sunset).
!If you don’t want a sunset, use the Lamp –button to turn off the
light.
Note: If you don’t need to wake up with an alarm you could, of course,
simply leave it turned off! However, you won’t have the sunset option
and the display would remain at its usual brightness. Any other sleep
features you have programmed will also not be activated, for example
Sleep sound and Nightlight.
