Assembly Instructions
The Solo System® has been designed for easy assembly. It can be set up and ready to use in minutes
and easily disassembled and stowed away when not in use.
The Solo System® should be set up and used on the oor. It’s best to choose a location that affords
a degree of privacy as infrared is best received on bare skin. If you prefer to use on an elevated
surface, only use a surface that can support the weight of yourself and the weight of the Solo System®
(76.9lbs./34.9Kg) such as a massage table or bed. Sunlighten™ is not responsible for damage to
surfaces cause by the weight or heat of the unit.
1. Open the box and remove all contents. Identify each component of the Solo®.
2. Read each and every page of this manual. It is especially important that the Health & Safety
Statements be read and fully understood. The Solo System® performs the same whether used in
your home or in a professional medical facility. Please check with your personal physician if you
don’t understand something in the medical precautions.
3. Verify that an electrical outlet of proper voltage (varies by country) is available at the location to be
used. Position the Solopad® (if purchased).
4. Place a tted Solopad® Bamboo Carbon cover (sold separately) over the entire length of the
Solopad®. Alternatively you may use a towel and lay it out smoothly over the length of the pad.
5. Place the pillow into position at the top of the Solopad®.
6. Place the two Solo® domes at the bottom of the Solopad®, positioned so that the open ends face
the top.
7. Connect the two cords from the Solo® controller to the domes. One to the upper dome; one to
the lower dome.
8. Plug the Solo® controller into the electrical outlet (check for proper voltage and grounding by
referencing the specs on page 5).
9. Turn on and set the Solo® controller to its lowest setting. This can be adjusted
when you are ready to use the Solo®. Next set time to the session length desired.
NOTE: Each dome has a separate adjustment. Domes adjust in whole number increments.
10.Verify that the blue LED’s on the controller are lit.
11.Place the control box in a position as to be easily reached from your right arm when using the
Solo®.
12.Use the supplied Bamboo Carbon Curtain to drape over the opening of the Solo® upper dome.
This is necessary to retain heat.
13.Setup is complete. You are now ready to enjoy the Solo System®.

Operation
Instructions
The Solo® is a professional piece of equipment designed to be a personal sauna.
Read and fully understand the Disclaimers and Health & Safety information within this manual.
If, for any reason, you feel nausea, dizziness, or other discomforts or do not feel in control while
using the Solo®, immediately turn it off at the control box. Keep control box within reach when
using the Solo®. Do not use near water. Always use a grounded electrical receptacle.
Infrared waves are most effective when they can contact bare skin. Considering this, it is best to
get undressed before using the Solo System®.
Usage
Sunlighten™ recommends working up to a 40 minute session once a day. If a longer session is
desired please contact your physician.
Set the temperature setting on the Control Box. For your rst session the Solo® should not be
set at a temperature setting higher than ve (5). Warm-up time will be from ve to ten minutes,
depending on temperature setting.
Time may be set for up to 12 hours at 1 hour intervals. It can also be set for up to 60 minutes at
5 minute intervals at the highest setting
Temperature range is from 45-65 degrees Celsius (113-149 degrees Fahrenheit) and may be set
at 3 levels: High, Medium, and Low.
Set the timer on the Control Box. The maximum time that the Solo® can be set for is 60 minutes.
It is now time to enter the Solo®. Slide the Upper Dome back so that it is resting on top of the
Lower Dome. Sit on the towel covering the Solopad® and gently pull the Upper Dome back and
over your body by gripping the frontal trim as you lie down. Be careful not to touch the heaters
as they will feel hot to the touch.
Position your head on the pillow so that you are comfortable. The pillow should be positioned
outside of the Solo® domes. Close the drop curtain to retain the heat within the Solo®. It is now
time to relax and enjoy the soothing heat of the Solo®. Do not have your head inside the Solo®
for prolonged periods. Remove immediately if feeling faint or dizzy.

The number above LOWER is the level set for the lower dome.
When the session is over, the Solo® heater output will stop. Push back the upper dome and exit the
Solo®. Turn off the controller. The Solo System® will cause you to sweat profusely. Taking a shower after
each session will remove the perspiration from your skin and add to the cleansing feeling that is felt
when using the Solo®. Dry with a fresh clean towel if no showering facilities are available. At the end of
use, remove all towels from inside the Solo®. Fully extend the domes and let them cool down. Do not
collapse the two domes until after they are completely cool. After use, the Solopad® and pillow should
be wiped down using damp, soapy water. Use a clean towel to dry all surfaces. Fresh towels should be
used when enjoying your sessions in the Solo®.

Chromotherapy
Your Solo comes equipped with Chromotherapy lighting. Chromotherapy is the science of using
colors to adjust body vibrations to frequencies that result in health and harmony. Each color possesses
frequencies of a specic vibration, and each vibration is related to different physical symptoms.
Chromotherapy works on various energy points to help your body re-establish its natural balance.
How to use
Make sure your Chromotherapy remote has a battery in it. During installation of your Solo® domes,
connect the Chromotherapy light strip that arches above the edge of the upper dome to the control box.
You will need to point the remote at the control box. The lights will not operate otherwise.
NOTE: Make sure when using the Solo® domes that the Chromotherapy wires are not being pinched
by the domes. This can cause the light strip to fail.

Sauna Protocol
Pre-sauna Session
Sauna Session
Post-sauna Session
• Hydrate with at least 8 oz. of water to prepare your body for an increase in core temperature.
• Pre-heat sauna for approximately 30 minutes. Increase pre-heat time to reach higher temperatures.
• Have a towel nearby to dry off after your session.
• To get your body accustomed to infrared therapy, start with 10-15 minute sessions at 100°F every
other day.
• Gradually increase towards 40 minute daily sessions.
• Don’t be surprised if you don’t sweat during the rst few sessions. Sweating will increase
with regular use, removing toxins and leaving you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
• For added intensity, use Pure Sweat amplifying cream to increase sweating, circulation and to boost
results.
• Drink at least 24 oz. of water or electrolyte to rehydrate.
• Dry off with a towel.
• Cool down naturally or with a shower.
Follow this quick guide for the optimal sauna experience.

14
How long can I use it for each day?
We suggest using up to 40 minutes per day. It makes no difference whether you use during the day
or at night.
What micron does the heater put out?
The sauna puts out a micron range of 4 - 20 microns.
What is the best temperature to use my sauna?
We recommend starting at a lower temperature of 100º F and increasing temperature
gradually in later sessions, if you still feel comfortable. Everyone has different preferences
and tolerances for heat. The most important thing is to listen to your body.
What is the heater made of?
The heater is made of organic black carbon that is rst cut into pliable sheets. Then electrical heater
wiring is added.
How much will the sauna cost me to run a month?
The sauna runs on similar wattage as a blow dryer and will cost little to run monthly.
Can I use the sauna every day?
Yes. We suggest drinking increased amounts of water to keep yourself hydrated. As long as you feel
ne, use the sauna daily and enjoy.
If I do use it every day, what else do I have to do?
Just drink plenty of uids to replace the ones you will be loosing with everyday usage. If you like, take
a warm shower to help accelerate the sweat glands opening to be even more refreshed afterward.
Are the EMF levels safe?
Yes. Solocarbon® panels are 100% quality controlled by Sunlighten™ to ensure the safety & effec-
tiveness of each individual heater. Our proprietary heater design virtually eliminates EMF (an aver-
age of less than 3mg) and steel conduit electrical shielding making your sauna as safe as possible.
How long does it take for my sauna to warm up?
Set the temperature controls to 60 minutes and 150° F. Allow the sauna to warm up for 15 - 20 minutes
at which time it should be approximately 100° F. If placed outside, the sauna may require additional
time to warm up, depending upon weather conditions. If you prefer the sauna hotter, let it warm up
longer. Drink plenty of water, at least 8 oz.

Care and Maintenance

16
Health and Safety
Our infrared saunas operate with the same efciency in your home as in a medical facility. Like all
professional equipment, you may put yourself at risk if you do not fully understand how to use the
sauna. Infrared sauna use as creating a cure for or treating any disease is neither implied nor should
be inferred. Drinking an electrolyte-replacing water or a sports drink is strongly recommended before
and after use.
Important
• Never sleep inside the sauna while it is on.
• Do not use toxic cleaning agents on the sauna.
• Do not stack or store objects on or inside of the sauna.
• Do not use the sauna during an electrical storm to avoid damage to sauna or yourself.
• Altering or tampering with any with any electrical connections on the power supply is dangerous
and will void the warranty.
• Do not attempt to repair without consulting Sunlighten™ rst. Unauthorized repair attempts will
void the warranty.
Precautions
If any of the following applies to you, consult your physician prior to sauna use.
MEDICATIONS
Individuals who are using prescription drugs should seek the advice of their personal physician since
some medications may induce drowsiness, while others may affect heart rate, blood pressure and
circulation. Diuretics, barbiturates and beta-blockers may impair the body’s natural heat loss mecha-
nisms. Anticholinergics such as amitryptaline may inhibit sweating and can predispose individuals to
heat rash or to a lesser extent, heat stroke. Some over-the-counter drugs, such as antihistamines, may
also cause the body to be more prone to heat stroke.
CHRONIC CONDITIONS / DISEASESASSOCIATED WITH REDUCED ABILITYTO SWEAT OR PERSPIRE
Multiple Sclerosis, Central Nervous System Tumors and Diabetes with Neuropathy are conditions that
are associated with impaired sweating. Consult a physician.
CARDIOVASCULAR ISSUES, OBESITY OR DIABETES
Individuals suffering from obesity or with a medical history of heart disease, low or high blood pres-
sure, circulatory problems or diabetes should consult a physician prior to use. Heat stress increases
cardiac output and blood ow in an effort to transfer internal body heat to the outside environment via
the skin (perspiration) and respiratory system. This takes place primarily due to major changes in the
heart rate, which has the potential to increase by thirty (30) beats per minute for each degree increase
in core body temperature.
ALCOHOL & DRUG ABUSE
Contrary to popular belief, it is not advisable to attempt to “sweat out” a hangover. Alcohol intoxica-
tion decreases a person’s judgment; therefore, he/she may not realize when the body has a negative
reaction to high heat. Alcohol also increases the heart rate, which may be further increased by heat
stress. The use of alcohol, drugs or medications prior to a sauna session may lead to unconsciousness.

17
ELDERLY
The ability to maintain core body temperature decreases with age. This is primarily due to circulatory
conditions and decreased sweat gland function. The body must be able to activate its natural cooling
processes in order to maintain core body temperature. If elderly, operate at a lower temperature and
for no more than 15 minutes at a time.
CHILDREN
The core body temperature of children rises much faster than adults. This occurs due to a higher
metabolic rate per body mass, limited circulatory adaptation to increased cardiac demands and
the inability to regulate body temperature by sweating. When using with a child, operate at a lower
temperature and for no more than 15 minutes at a time.
HEMOPHILIACS / INDIVIDUALS PRONE TO BLEEDING
The use of infrared saunas should be avoided by anyone predisposed to bleeding.
FEVER & INSENSITIVITY TO HEAT
Individuals with insensitivity to heat or who have a fever should not use the sauna until the fever subsides.
PREGNANCY
Pregnant women should consult a physician before using an infrared sauna.
MENSTRUATION
Heating of the low back area of women during the menstrual period may temporarily increase
menstrual ow. This should not preclude sauna use.
JOINT INJURY
Recent (acute) joint injury should not be heated for the rst 48 hours or until the swollen symptoms
subside. Joints that are chronically hot and swollen may respond poorly to vigorous heating of any
kind.
IMPLANTS
Metal pins, rods, articial joints or any other surgical implants generally reect infrared waves and thus
are not heated by this system. Nevertheless, you should consult your physician prior to using.
INABILITY TO FIT INTO SAUNA
This is a single person sauna. It is semi-circular in shape and one lies down inside of it.
Dimensions: 5’9” long, 28”wide and 18” high or 175cm long, 71 cm wide & 45 cm high.
COMMUNICABLE SKIN DISEASES
Warts, scabies etc. Even though the warm-up time of the sauna - before the subject enters - is said to
desiccate bacteria and thereby sterilize the sauna, we would ask that if any potential participants who
have any communicable skin diseases, refrain from using this sauna.
Unstable angina, recent myocardial infarction and severe aortic stenosis.
IN THE EVENT THAT YOU EXPERIENCE PAIN OR DISCOMFORT, IMMEDIATELY
DISCONTINUE SAUNA USE!
