The first Philips solution designed to alert you

technology the positional monitor detects when
you’re moving onto your back and delivers
adaptive vibrations that prompt you to sleep on
your side – leading to quieter nights for you and
your partner1.

snorers for whom snoring ceases when sleeping on
their side.

design is based on clinical research. Five clinical
studies have shown a reduction in supine sleep
time when study participants use a sleep position
solution. (van Maanen 2014, Deiltjens 2015,
Eijsvogel 2015, Benoist 2018, Ruiter 2018).

Using the product
Starting a sleep session
When you are ready to go to sleep, put the strap
with the sensor around your chest (see 'Wearing
the Snoring Relief Band during the night'). For men,
the strap should be worn below the upper chest.
For women, it should be worn below the breasts.
You need to manually start a sleep session.
1Start a sleep session when you are in one of the
data screens or when the sensor is off. Press
and hold the activation button for two seconds.
- The sensor will vibrate briefly and show
alternating dashes '--' to indicate that the
sleep session has started. These dashes are
visible on the display during the sleep session.
2 sec.
Notes:
- Only start a sleep session when you have the
intension to fall asleep (don't start a session
when you first want to watch television).
15
English

- The sensor allows you to fall asleep in any
position. This means that during the first 30
minutes of a sleep session the sensor will not
vibrate. Once the 30 minutes have passed, the
sensor will vibrate when you are lying on your
back.
- A sleep session can last up to 12 hours. After 12
hours the sensor automatically stops the sleep
session and switches off.
- If a sleep session has been stopped and started
again within a two hour timespan, both
sessions are counted as one full sleep session.
Automatic pause mode
A sleep session is automatically paused, when the
sensor detects you sat up or got out of bed
(vertical position). After you lie down again, the
sensor will not vibrate for the first 30 minutes to
allow you to fall asleep. Once the 30 minutes have
passed, the sensor will vibrate when you are lying
on your back.
Temporarily interrupt vibrations
If the sleep session is active and you are awake
and lying on your back, but you do not want the
sensor to vibrate at that moment, tilt the sensor to
a vertical position and back to start the automatic
pause mode.
Stopping a sleep session
You need to manually stop the sleep session
when you wake up and get out of bed.
To stop a sleep session, press and hold the
activation button for two seconds. If you do not
stop the sleep session, the sensor keeps vibrating
when the Snoring Relief Band is taken off and the
sensor is placed on a horizontal surface.
16 English

After the sleep session has ended, the sensor will
vibrate briefly and show the data of your last sleep
session.

Learning more about your Snoring Relief
Band
Adaptation phase
You may need some time to get used to the
Snoring Relief Band. To help you get used to the
vibrations, the sensor starts with an adaptation
phase that consists of 7 sleep sessions.
During this phase, the Snoring Relief Band does
not vibrate every time you lie on your back. With
each next sleep session it vibrates more often.
From the 8th sleep session onwards, the sensor
vibrates every time you lie on your back (normal
phase).
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
20% 25% 33% 50% 66% 75% 80% 100%
The sensor shows a small dot on the left side of
the display to indicate that the adaptation phase is
active.

English

Vibration level
The sensor has a self-learning algorithm. The
sensor optimizes the vibration level based on your
reaction time.
Vibration patterns
Every five days, the vibration pattern changes to
make sure that you do not get used to the
vibrations and that you will keep responding to
them.
