Medical Disclaimer
"Light / Sound Systems" or "Mind Machines" have been on the market for years. Thousands of users have
experienced many hours on them with virtually no reported ill effects. But there are some situations and condi-
tions where use of our products is strongly discouraged. These devices create flickering light, which can cause
seizures in persons with photosensitive epilepsy. You may be photosensitive and not know it.
Mind Gear products are designed for recreational purposes and personal exploration ONLY. No medical
claims are made for Mind Gear products, express or implied. They are NOT medical devices and should not be
used for the relief of any medical condition. Please consult with your licensed medical practitioner prior to use
for any other purpose as the machine is not intended as a replacement for medical or psychological treatment.
Our products are not intended to affect the structure or any function of the human body. These products are not
approved for any purpose by the FDA.
If you or anyone else who will use this machine are subject to any form of seizures, epilepsy or visual photo-
sensitivity, are using a pacemaker, suffering cardiac arrhythmia or other heart disorders, currently taking stimu-
lants, tranquilizers or psychotropic medication, specifically including illicit drugs and alcohol, please do not use
our or any other Light / Sound system.
Your experience should feel pleasant and we recommend that you set the volume and light intensity levels
with your EYES CLOSED before you or anyone you loan your system to, uses it.
Photosensitive Epilepsy
Photosensitive Epilepsy is a relatively rare condition, affecting approximately 1 person in 4000. Persons with
this condition are susceptible to seizures evoked by flickering lights, such as those produced by a light / sound
machine. The information included here on photosensitive epilepsy is mostly from the book "Photosensitive Epi-
lepsy".
Most persons with photosensitive epilepsy have a first seizure during their teenage years (75% by age 20).
About half of initial seizures are induced by watching television. Some persons who are susceptible during their
teenage years outgrow the condition, about 25% by age 25. As a result, adults over age 25 who have never had a
seizure have about 1 chance in 20,000 of being photosensitive and not know it. So for a person who has not had
a seizure, the likelihood of being photosensitive varies from 1 in 4000 for children to 1 in 20,000 for adults over
25.
Remember, even if you have never had a seizure, there is a small chance that you are photosensitive and a
light / sound session could cause a seizure in YOU!
Even if you have never had a seizure, there is a small chance that you are photosensitive, and
exposure to flashing lights can cause YOU to have a seizure. If you are not willing to accept this
risk, please do not use Mind Gear L/S systems.

Background Information about Light & Sound Stimulation
(Excerpts from “Mind States: An Introduction to Light & Sound Technology”)
What Is An iLightz Light & Sound Instrument?
An iLightz light and sound instrument is a mind entrainment tool. The method by which this en-
trainment occurs is known as the Frequency Following Response (FFR). Through the use of au-
dio (headphones) and visual (eye frames with LEDs or RGB-based LEDchips) stimulation, par-
ticipants are gently guided into specific states of mind. Each audio beat and light pulse is a spe-
cific frequency. Our minds "think" in terms of frequency. Brainwaves change frequencies based
on neural activity within the brain, be it by hearing, touch, smell, vision and/or taste. These
senses respond to activity from the environment and transmits that information to the brain via
electrical signals. Hearing and vision are considered favorable senses for affecting brainwaves
safely. By presenting these beats and pulses to the brain, within a few minutes, the brain begins
to mimic or follow the same frequencies as the stimuli (the beats and pulses). This process is
referred to as entrainment. In essence, the iLightz light and sound instrument speaks to the mind
in it's own language- the language of frequency.
The Frequency Following Response that the mind experiences through light and sound stimula-
tion provides a focus for the brain. This focus safely quells any internal dialogue or "brain chat-
ter", and enables the participant to reach more quickly and effectively the optimum state of
mind targeted for the task at hand (i.e., energizing, learning, relaxing, etc.).
So a light and sound instrument can entrain your mind to experience different levels of your
consciousness. As such it is a tool, but it is a very enjoyable tool. For a whole new musical ex-
perience combine your favorite songs with an iLightz light and sound session. You can actually
see, as well as hear, the music as it travels along your brainwaves. It is also for exercising your
mind. After all, your brain is like a large muscle. Use light and sound to train your brain to run
faster and more efficiently; to show you how to find and access your "zone" and to help clean
up that mental fuzz that occasionally interrupts our mental clarity.
Here is a brief summary of the evolution of light and sound: Humanity has been aware of how
outside stimulation can affect the mind long before recorded history. We can share that same
awareness by sitting around a campfire. Watching the flickering flames creates a soothing,
calming sensation within the mind. This same affect is also experienced with rhythmic drum-
beats. The continuous, repetitive beats tend to generate a calming affect, while faster repetitions
create a more energetic sensation. Within the twentieth century, researchers have developed this
awareness into highly beneficial instrumentation.
Although scientists knew flickering light and audio beats affected our frame of mind, they were
unable to prove how that interaction existed. Then in 1924, Hans Burger, a German psychiatrist,
published pictures depicting electrical activity of the human brain. From the discovery of these
"wavy" lines emerged a new scientific field called electroencephalography.

7
These wavy lines are simple to visualize. Just picture a series of peaks and valleys, much like
the skyline of a mountain range. When you are asleep, in Delta, those peaks and valleys are at
both their highest and lowest points and appear to be spread out. As you gradually awaken and
become more alert, progressing from Theta into Alpha, the peaks and valleys begin to shrink in
size and are spaced closer together. Then when you are in your normal waking state, Beta, this
"mountain range" is at it's smallest level, with very little space separating the peaks from the
valleys.
During the 1940's several researchers, including W. Gray Walter, utilized powerful electronic
strobes with new versions of EEG instrumentation to alter brainwave activity, producing states
of profound relaxation and imagery. In 1949, brainwave signals were brought to the screen with
the invention of the Tuposcope. This breakthrough allowed the tracking of brainwave patterns
(Beta, Alpha, Theta and Delta). Within five years, hundreds of hospitals were compiling EEG's.
In the 1950's and 1960's, research on Zen and Yoga meditators showed a predominance of alpha
and theta waves during meditation. These findings were made through the data collected by re-
searchers including M.A. Wanger of the University of California at Los Angeles; B.K. Bagchi
of the University of Michigan School of Medicine; and B.K. Anand of the All India Institute of
Medical Sciences in New Delhi (Ditson-Sommer 1995).
During the late 1960's and into the 1970's interest in producing altered states without chemicals
increased. Alpha EEG feedback by Dr. Joe Kamiya at Langley-Porter Neuropsychiatric Institute
in San Francisco aided in initiating the age of biofeedback. Others, including Jack Schwarz and
Richard Townsend, continued their investigations of rhythmic light and sound combinations,
with emphasis on hemispheric brain synchronization and EEG entrainment (Budzynski 1991).
It was during the decade of the 1970's that the first patent was obtained for a light and sound in-
strument. This occurred in 1974, with the patent obtained by Seymour Charas. He was a scien-
tist at New York City College and for reasons unknown, never put his device into production
(Hutchison 1990).
In the 1980's there were major breakthroughs in microelectronics. From this came the develop-
ment of instruments that contained various programs of sound frequency changes and light in-
tensity modulation. In a study by Marchal Gilula, M.D., of Life Energies Research Institute of
Coconut Grove, Florida, clinical research on Multiple Afferent Sensory Stimulation (MASS)
was conducted. His research found that light and sound (MASS) equipment elicited an 80%
subject response with deep states of mind and body relaxation (Ditson-Sommer 1995).
For the past several years, clinical devices utilizing light and sound stimulation have been suc-
cessfully used in relaxation and learning enhancement. For the general public, small portable
units became available. Still, this technology is so new that the majority of us do not know how
to use it. Those that do know are using it for commercial purposes, ranging from audio/video
cassettes, CDs and DVDs to workshops and seminars.

How Are Frequencies Associated With Brainwaves?
Brainwaves are the electrical wave patterns generated in every person's brain. These waves vary
according to level of consciousness, sub-consciousness and unconsciousness and are character-
ized by four distinct types of brainwaves. Each of these electrical wave patterns have distinctly
different ways of perceiving, processing, learning and knowing information (Hoiberg 1989). All
of these brain waves are produced at all times. However, a predominance of a specific desired
brainwave state can be created at will, which allows a person to potentialize his or her capabili-
ties towards achieving human excellence.
Brainwave frequencies are described in terms of hertz (Hz), or cycles per second, which are
measured by an electroencephalogram (EEG). The four general categories of brainwave fre-
quencies and their main characteristics are:
Gamma brainwave frequencies are a high frequency pattern beginning around thirty-five hertz.
There has been some evidence that gamma frequencies are associated with states of peak per-
formance. Most light and sound instruments have the capability to generate gamma frequencies.
While in this brainwave state, sensations are centered on being mentally, emotionally and
physically "charged" or extremely energized. These frequencies are the highest known brain-
wave patterns, but are considered by some researchers to be part of the beta frequency category.
Beta brainwaves are the next highest frequency pattern, ranging from thirteen to approximately
thirty-four hertz, and can be separated into three sub-categories. The first is high beta, ranging
from nineteen to thirty-four hertz. When high beta is the dominant brainwave state, anxiety and
stress are most likely to occur. The second sub-category is mid beta, with frequencies ranging
from fifteen to eighteen hertz. Mid beta is characterized by action, with focus on external sur-
roundings. The third is SMR beta (Sensorimotor Rhythm), ranging from thirteen to fifteen
hertz. While in this state, focus is also on external surroundings, but the individual is more re-
laxed than in mid beta. Within SMR is fourteen hertz, which is gaining attention from research-
ers and clinicians utilizing EEG/neurofeedback instrumentation. However, the true benefit of
creating fourteen hertz in humans has yet to be determined.
Generally speaking, beta brainwaves are characterized by logical, analytical and intellectual
thinking, verbal communication and awareness of surroundings.
Alpha brainwaves are a frequency pattern ranging from eight to twelve hertz. They most com-
monly occur when we are calm and relaxed, yet mentally alert. These brainwaves are also pre-
sent during daydreaming.
Theta brainwaves range from four to seven hertz, characterized by being deeply relaxed and in-
wardly focused. This brainwave state is also associated with rapid learning and the assimilation
of new information with high retention, heightened motivation to activate goals, bursts of crea-
tivity, insight and new behavior patterns.
Delta brainwaves range from five-tenths to three hertz and are associated with being extremely
relaxed, characterized by sleep.

9
Researchers have proven that brainwave frequencies determine what brainwave state is being
experienced at any given time (Budzynski 1991). By measuring the production of brainwaves
through the utilization of EEG (electroencephalogram) equipment, the frequencies that produce
these various brain states can be tracked on a computer monitor. As mentioned earlier, these
frequencies are generated in every person's brain, and are the result of outside stimulation that
has been passed to the brain via electrical signals from our different senses. Light and sound in-
struments stimulate the neural activity of our vision and hearing, and can safely guide our
minds to produce specific frequencies that are associated with the four general brainwave cate-
gories (Hutchison 1992).

Quick Start Guide for iLightz
The first step in setting up your iLightz is …
Your second step is connecting the lightframes and headphones …
Installing batteries or using the A/C Adapter:
Before you begin your iLightz experience, installing batteries
is necessary. On the upper part of the back of your unit, you
will see the battery compartment. Unlatch the lid and insert
four “AA” batteries as shown. You will enjoy several hours of
iLightz sessions with just one four-pack of “AA” batteries.
If you have the iLightz Pro which includes the A/C adapter,
simply connect the adapter to the iLightz adapter port located
on the top left side of your unit.
And should you choose to purchase an A/C adapter later, it is
recommended that you purchase the correct type from an
authorized Mind Gear retailer. The A/C adapter specifications
are: 6V DC 800mA with the connector having a positive tip.
Connect Common Power (“CP”) lightframes to the
port marked “LIGHT”.
Connect the Color Matrix lightframes of the
iLightz Pro to the port marked “COLOR MA-
TRIX”.
Connect your headphones to the port marked
“SOUND”.
When not using an iPOD in conjunction with your
iLightz, select an external sound source such as a
CD player or audio receiver. Connect one end of
the stereo patch cord to the headphone port of the
external sound source and the other end to the
port marked “EXT. INPUT”.
When using the recommended AC Adapter, con-
nect to port marked “6VDC/800MA”.

10
After set up is complete press the center key on the iLightz keypad ...
You are now ready to begin your journey into mind exploration, gently and with absolutely no
conscious effort. Enjoy!
The iLightz and iLightz Pro have 9 total keys. 4 are on the outer perimeter, the remaining are on
the 5 way keypad in the center (for complete description refer to “Keypad Function” section).
Following are general navigation guidelines for the keys:
•Pressing any key will turn the unit “on” and display the welcome screen.
•Press any key again and the main menu is displayed.
•Generally, the outside keys will navigate up and down as will the up/down center keys.
I.E. the top two outside keys move up, the two bottom move down (our unit is ambidex-
trous).
•Except when in manual mode at which time the outer keys act to change the value of the
selected parameter up/down.
•When running a program the right outer keys control the “volume” of the iLightz sound.
The left outer keys control the “brightness/intensity” of the lightframes. This is so a user
can change these parameters without having to look at the keypad.
•The round center key always acts as an “enter/select” key EXCEPT if pressed and held
for more than 2 seconds which always turns unit off.
To turn on your iLightz press the center key
and the ‘Welcome’ screen appears. It times
out after 5 seconds, replaced by the ‘Main
Menu’ screen (or simply press the center key
once to go directly to the ‘Main Menu’).

11
•You can also turn the unit off by selecting “power off” from the main menu.
•The “left” center key always acts as an ”escape/back” key. The only exception is when
you are in the manual mode when it acts simply as a “left” directional key.
•All menus will “roll over”. In other words, if you are at the top of a menu list and press
one of the “up” buttons, the cursor will “roll over” and drop to the bottom of the menu.
•When in the “manual mode” you must use the 5-way center keys to navigate and the
outer keys to adjust the values. Pressing the center key will “return/escape” you out of
the manual mode.
The iLightz has the ability to display 511 (512 if you include “black”) different colors when us-
ing our proprietary “color matrix” glasses. We provide easy access to any of these colors
through the color menu. The following selections are available:
•Custom color: press the enter key to adjust the color settings for red-green-blue ratios.
•White
•Red

28.0 - 40.0 Hz White (equal R, G, & B)
Random Color Matrix:
Randomly selects a new color (1 of 511 possible combinations) each time the frequency
changes between the five frequency bins (0.5-3.4, 3.5-6.8, 7.0-13.5, 14.0-27.5, and 28.0-40.0).
For custom color adjustments the following “outer keys” are used:
· The upper left adjusts the Red values 0-7
· The lower left adjusts the Green values 0-7
· The lower right adjust the Blue values 0-7
· The upper right does not do anything
Helpful Hints
-Always read your iLightz owners guide. It is the best way to maximize your session experi-
ences.
-Always have the volume at a comfortable level. Blasting the audio tones will not make a ses-
sion more effective.

13
-When wearing lightframes, have the brightness set at a level you find enjoyable. The more you
use your instrument, the more tolerable to brighter intensities your eyes should become. Like
audio tones, you do not need to have the brightness set at the maximum level for it to be effec-
tive for you.
-To achieve the best possible results, use your system on a daily basis for the first 30 days.
-Wear clothing that is comfortable and loose fitting while doing sessions.
-Make using your system a routine. Try to set aside a specific time and place for you to use
your system.
-Have a goal in mind before beginning a session and say it verbally to yourself. Maybe it is a
problem you need to solve, an idea you need to organize or some stress that needs to be re-
leased.
-Try to draw a mental picture of the goal you have in mind. Try to make it as detailed as possi-
ble. Can you picture the results? During the session, try not to drift from this picture. Try to re-
main focused on your goal and mental picture. Should you find your thoughts drifting, just refo-
cus.
-Keep a blanket or comforter handy. Blood flow to your extremities is reduced during deep re-
laxation and you might find yourself a bit chilled during the session.
-Be aware of how you are breathing. Try to have your breaths come in a deep, regular fashion.
Try this: Inhale (count 1,2,3,4), Hold (2,3,4), Release (1,2,3,4) or mentally say to yourself as
you breathe: Quiet/Cope/Focus.
-Keep a log or journal of your session experiences. After a session, remain still and listen to any
thoughts that come into your mind. Answers do not always immediately surface after a session.
Sometimes they surface hours or even a few days later. Be conscious of this while you go about
your normal daily routine.
-To determine what works best for you, become aware of your energy levels, sleep patterns and
stress levels over the course of the first four weeks.
-Do not be overwhelmed by your light and sound instrument. The more you use it, the easier it
becomes to use. Should you ever have a problem or question, never hesitate to call Michael
Landgraf or Mind Gear directly.
-Please remember: When I first started using a light and sound instrument (an IQ-III in 1985),
there was no one I could call unless I wanted to make a long distance phone call. I still have a
difficult time programming my audio / visual entertainment system. So if I can figure this tech-
nology out, believe me, you can too!

Programs
Favorites: This is the area where you can store your favorite sessions. Go to the session you
would like to add in the iLightz program list and press the right (center) arrow key. You will be
asked if you would like to save that session. If yes, press the enter (center) key. If you would like
to delete a session from your list of favorites, simply select the session and hit the right (center)
arrow key. You will be asked if you would like to delete the selected session. If yes, press the en-
ter (center) key.
All: is the entire selection of built-in sessions to choose from. Simply scroll down (or up) to the
session you wish to experience, press the center key (enter) and the ten second countdown begins
for that session. The complete list of programs is on the following two pages. We suggest you
print out the list of programs to keep near your iLightz for easy reference.
Autopilot: This is the area on the iLightz Pro that contains the five special “AP” programs (refer
to AutoPilot section for complete information).
User: This area stores the programs (sessions) that you have created. To access a particular ses-
sion, simply scroll down to the session you want and hit enter (the center key).
Create New: Here is where you can design your own sessions. By using the top/bottom/left/right
arrows of the center key, you can move from one session component to the next. By pressing the
outside keys, either the top right or left and bottom right or left, you can change the value for each
particular session component. For ease in creating new sessions you will find a worksheet that
follows the list of programs pages. Printing a few copies of the program worksheet will make cre-
ating new sessions very easy.
When selecting Programs from the main menu screen (by
pressing the center / enter) key on your keypad, you are
taken to the menu pictured above, which allows you com-
plete access to all sessions stored in your iLightz.

PROGRAMMING WORKSHEET
PROGRAM NAME: PROGRAM NUMBER:

Manual Mode
Stimulation Functions: There are nine functions in your iLightz that can be selected for dis-
play and control. One of the nine function lights will be highlighted, telling you which function
is selected. To select a different function, use center keys or Manual / Back. The current value
of the selected function is always shown in the display, and the right side keys on keypad (top
right = increase, bottom right = decrease) are used to change any of the specific values.
iPod: Adjusts the audio sound level / volume control of your iPod.
COL: The iLightz has the ability to display 511 (512 if you include “black”) different colors
when using our proprietary “color matrix” glasses. Choices include: blue, green, red, white,
TSX (Turbosonix), CM1, CM2, CM3, RCM and RGB (Red-Green-Blue). For RGB custom
color adjustments the following “outer keys” are used:
· The upper left adjusts the Red values 0-7
· The lower left adjusts the Green values 0-7
· The lower right adjust the Blue values 0-7
· The upper right does not do anything.
Frequency: Ranges from 0.5-40.0 Hz.. The FREQUENCY function controls the rate of stimu-
lation pulses in the lightframes and in the earphones in all pulsed tone selections. When binau-
ral sound is selected, it controls the difference, or beat frequency of the two tones. This function
controls the frequency of entrainment of brain waves.
To move from one value to the next, use center keys or
Manual / Back. To change any of the following particular val-
ues, use right side keys on keypad (Top right = increase, bottom
right = decrease)
iPodV = volume control for iPod
COL = light stimulation color mix
FREQ = frequency stimulation
TON = tone (binaural or pulsed beats)
PHS = phase
DC = duty cycle
PITCH = note scale (1 F# - 36 F)
IN = light stimulation intensity (brightness level)
VOL = audio stimulation (sound level)

Tone: Pulsed stimulation is equal sound energy at each frequency. Binaural beat stimulation
creates two continuous tones, separated in frequency by the selected FREQUENCY function
value. The mind processes sound in such a way that you seem to hear, and sometimes feel, the
frequency differences or beat frequency of the two tones.
Phase: The PHASE function controls the phasing of the stimulation to the four stimulation
channels (right eye, left eye, right ear, left ear). If two stimulation channels are on at once, they
are said to be in phase. If one is on while the other is off, they are out of phase or alternating.
Duty Cycle: This function controls the percentage of the total cycle time that stimulation is on.
The default value 50% represents 50% on, 50% off. A DUTY CYCLE display of 40% means
40% on, 60% off; 30% means 30% on, 70% off, etc.
With the ability to adjust the Duty Cycle from 10% to 90%, you have the enjoyment of experi-
encing a variety of stimulating sensations. But there is more. Press the up button past 90% and
you will see B2 and B3, short for Blend 2 and Blend 3 respectively. These two features are
unique to the iLightz system. The Blend feature provides smooth transitions between mode
changes during a program. This feature can only be activated prior to the execution of a
program, and is enabled at that time. These selections will 'soften' the transitions between mode
changes in the built-in or custom program. Do not choose blend while designing and entering
the phase selections of a custom program, simply 'switch' it on or off, just prior to starting a
program, meaning the Blend option is not applicable in manual mode. To enable the Blend
feature, follow these steps: go to the Duty Cycle, press the up key past 90% and you will see
B2, press up once more for B3. Selecting either option will activate that particular mode for the
next program you run. Should you prefer to have Blend activated for all programs, select it as a
default setting in your Personal Preference Program. To disable the Blend feature, simply
return to the duty cycle portion in the Manual Mode area and select a stimulation cycle other
than B2 or B3.
Pitch: Ranges from 1 to 36 notes. The pitch of the pulsed tone and binaural sound is controlled
by this function.
Intensity: Ranges from 0-100. The INTENSITY function controls the brightness of the lights
in your stimulation lightframes. Always keep the brightness of your lightframes at a comfort-
able level.
Volume: Ranges from 0-100. The VOLUME function controls the sound level in the head-
phones, but not the external sound source volume (CD player, MP3, audio stereo system, pc,
etc.). Use your external sound source volume control to control external volume.
