MEDICAL PRECAUTIONS
The Solo System is a personal sauna. Any information presented within this
manual is for educational or reference purposes only.
The content of this manual is not intended for diagnosis or treatment of any
ailment or disease and shall not be considered as a substitute for professional
health care consultation.
One should always seek the advice of a personal physician or other qualied

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 & stowed away when not in use.
The Solo System should be set up and used on the oor. Locate a oor 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 (35 kg) such as a massage table or bed. Sunlighten is not responsible for damage
to surfaces cause by the weight 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, if purchased, 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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BASIC OPERATION
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 °C and may be set at 3 levels: High, Medium, and Low.
Set the timer on the Dome Control Box. The maximum time that the Solo Dome 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 Bamboo Carbon cover or 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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Position your head on the pillow so that you are comfortable. The pillow should be
positioned outside of the Solo domes and we recommned you cover it with a towel to
absorb the sweat. 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. 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 unplug, then wipe down the Solopad and pillow using a slightly damp cloth
that has been immersed in a mixture of Tri-Nature Stain Removal and warm soapy water.
Be sure not to get the control box or power cords wet during cleaning. Always keep the
Solopad covered with a tted Bamboo Carbon cover during use to keep it clean.
Fresh towels should be used when enjoying your sessions in the Solo. Bamboo Carbon
towels can be purchased at https://shop.sunlighten.com.au/collections/bamboo-carbon-towels

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CHROMOTHERAPY
Your Solo System comes equipped with Chromotherapy lighting.
Chromotherapy is the science of using colours to adjust body vibrations to frequencies
that result in health and harmony. Each colour possesses frequencies of a specic
vibration, and each vibration is related to different physical symptoms. An imbalance of
any of those colours can manifest itself in physical and mental symptoms. Colour therapy
works on various energy points to help balance your body via the full spectrum of visible
light, each colour addressing a distinct need.
HOW TO USE CHROMOTHERAPY
Make sure your Chromotherapy remote has a battery in it. During installation of your
Solo domes, plug in the Chromotherapy light strip connector to the control box.
You will need to point the remote at the control box within a 90cm radius.
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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
SAUNA PROTOCOL
Follow this quick guide for the optimal sauna experience.
PRE SAUNA SESSION
•Hydrate with at least one glass of water to prepare your body for an increase
in core temperature.
•Pre-heat for approx. 15 minutes. Depending on room temperature,
your sauna will heat up a degree every two minutes.
•Use Bamboo Carbon Towels to absorb sweat during sessions.
SAUNA SESSION
•To get your body accustomed to infrared therapy, start with 20-30 minute
sessions at level 4 every other day.
•If comfortable with current settings, gradually increase towards 40 minute daily
sessions in your optimal temperature range.
• 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.
POST SAUNA SESSION
•Drink at least 750ml of water or electrolyte to rehydrate.
•Dry off with Bamboo Carbon Towel. Cool down naturally or with a refreshing shower.

14
HEALTH & SAFETY
Our infrared saunas operate with the same efcacy 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 SAFEGUARDS
•Never sleep inside the sauna while it is on.
•Do not use harsh cleaning agents on the interior of the sauna.
•Do not stack or store objects on top of or inside the sauna.
•Do not use during an electrical storm, as there is a remote risk of shock.
•Altering or tampering with any electrical connections on the power supply is
dangerous and will void the warranty.
• Do not attempt a repair without consulting Sunlighten rst. Unauthorised repair
attempts will void the warranty.
PRECAUTIONS
If any of the below apply 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 mechanisms. 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.
CARDIOVASCULAR ISSUES, OBESITY OR DIABETES
Individuals suffering from obesity or with a medical history of heart disease, low or high blood
pressure, 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.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

15
ALCOHOL & DRUG ABUSE
Contrary to popular belief, it is not advisable to attempt to “sweat out” a hangover. Alcohol
intoxication 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. 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.
CHRONIC CONDITIONS / DISEASES ASSOCIATED WITH REDUCED ABILITY
TO SWEAT OR PERSPIRE
Multiple Sclerosis, Central Nervous System Tumors and Diabetes with Neuropathy are conditions
that are associated with impaired sweating. Consult a health care practitioner.
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 maximum heat of 55°C and for no more than 30 minutes.
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 who is 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 health care practitioner 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.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

16
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
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.
COMMUNICABLE SKIN DISEASES
Even though the warm-up time of the sauna - before the user enters - is said to desiccate bacteria
and thereby sterilize the sauna, we would ask that sauna users who have any communicable skin
diseases, refrain from using this sauna.
HEART CONDITIONS
Sauna use is not recommended for persons with the following conditions:
unstable angina, recent myocardial infarction (30 days) and severe aortic stenosis.
IN THE RARE EVENT THAT YOU EXPERIENCE PAIN OR DISCOMFORT, IMMEDIATELY
DISCONTINUE SAUNA USE!
For more information on saunas and contraindications,
please contact Sunlighten Australia on 1800 786 544.
