their use of the device to the default time of 20 minutes,
once every other day.

OPERATING THE NEURO PRO
5
The Neuro Pro is supplied with a GUI smartphone.
The Neuro Pro hardware and the GUI can function independently of each other.
The Neuro Pro controller is pre-programmed with the “Alpha (10 Hz)” setting, and will run
the applicators accordingly when the START button is pressed. The data for Alpha can be
viewed and edited from the GUI.
The GUI for Neuro Pro is pre-installed in the smartphone and is paired with your device.
The serial numbers of the controller and smartphone are identical. Record this number for
your reference.
To use the GUI, switch on the smartphone and look for the Vielight icon.
Activate the app and start using the options available to you.
On the START page, two options are presented.
1. Continue by connecting to the Neuro Pro controller.
2. Continue without connecting to the Neuro Pro controller.
Refer to page 6 for the features available for the 2 options.

SUMMARY OF GUI CAPABILITIES
6
When the GUI is linked with the Neuro Pro hardware, it has the following supporting
capabilities:
1. Making a run with last used data from the library.
2. Making a run by using the default pre-set data in the hardware.
3. Making a run from data stored in the library.
4. Showing real time run data, including time status, output parameters, phase status, and
group run status.
5. Stopping or pausing a run.
6. Locking the frequency or the power output value when a run is in sweep mode.
7. Select a data set as the default run data in the hardware.
8. Allowing a run to be made with the start button on the Neuro Pro controller. The real time
data will be automatically displayed when the GUI is in the start or library page.
9. Creating a link with the controller when it is running will not interfere with the run.
10. Extracting the run data stored in the Neuro Pro hardware for viewing.
11. Performing a self-test to check if the Neuro Pro hardware is operating within design limits.
12. Creating, editing, and viewing run data settings and records.
13. Storing run settings in the library. The maximum number of settings is 50.
14. Creating group runs.
15. Up to 8 single runs may be combined to make a group run.
16. Allowing group runs to be stored in the library.
17. Linking to multiple Neuro Pro devices.
When the GUI is not linked with the Neuro Pro hardware, it has thefollowing support

GLOSSARY OF TERMS FOR GUI
GUI (Graphical User Interface): A graphics-based operating system interface that uses icons
and menus to manage interaction with the system.
Power: The output power can be adjusted for the individual modules from 1 to 100 %. This
can be translated to mW/cm2by using the table on page 9.
Power sweep: This feature allows the user to vary the power over the course of a run. The
user can set the start and end power, with stated increments over time.
Power lock: During the course of a run with power sweep, the user can stop the power
increment and hence locking the power value until the end of the run.
between 1 and 10,000 Hz.
Frequency sweep: This is a feature that allows the user to set the start and end frequency,
with selected incremental frequency intervals over the run time.
Frequency lock: During the course of a run with frequency sweep, the user can stop the
sweep, which will lock the frequency value until the end of the run.
Phase: There are 2 frequency phases (A & B) that can be set for each output module. Phase
A is anti-phased to phase B in the default setting.
module. The 50% setting will cause the module switch ON and OFF at 50% of each cycle.
The ON setting will cause the module to be switched on continuously over the course of
the run period.
Time: The run start and stop time can be set for each output module. A delay to the start
can also be set. The delay and active time will be the total activity time for the module,
sweep is active, the total activity time is determined by the start and end values.
Module: There are 8 hardware output modules, and they are pre-listed in each setting
Module control:“Module control” is a tab where the user can access setting for phase and
Group setting: Single runs can be grouped to run concurrently, making it a group setting.
simulated run, and the run parameters are displayed in real time over the course of the run.

1. To clean the Nasal Applicator, wipe gently with 70% alcohol or antiseptic wipes, clean gently
with soap and water, or sanitize with a UV lamp.
2. Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the other surfaces. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
3. Do not submerge any of the components on the headset in liquid or cover with other material
during use.
4. Store in a dry and dust-free location at temperatures between 10oC to 40oC, away from direct
sunlight.
5. We do not recommend sharing devices and nasal applicators for hygiene safety reasons.

Most people do not experience physical discomfort while using
the Neuro Pro, although some feeling of warmth is common.
When powered on, invisible
near-infrared light and a faint
red light are emitted at the tip
of the nasal applicator and
diodes of the headset modules.
SAFETY ADVICE: NEAR-INFRARED LIGHT SOURCE

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
General
When used with the GUI
Some LED modules
do not light up.
The run data could have been set up that way. Look at the data on
the appropriate set-up interface of the Neuro Pro app to see if this is
the case (refer to the Neuro Pro app user guide).
The module(s) may not be plugged in properly.
There is a hardware fault. Contact customer service for help.
The device
automatically shuts
down in less than 2
minutes.
Some power banks are not compatible with the Neuro Pro. The
Vielight V2 power bank has been tested for compatibility.
The phone takes
too long to charge.
Make sure that you are using the correct charging cable.
Issue Action
The app appears to
have hung or
frozen.
Controller cannot
link to the
Bluetooth.
The screen does not
move back to the
previous page.
Use the back key “<” at the bottom right-hand-side of the display.
If a red or green rotating circle appears, the app is attempting to
transfer data to or from the controller. If this continues for over a
minute, then the system has probably hung/frozen.
At the bottom left of the app screen, select the 3 vertical lines,
and then select “Close All” to exit the app. Wait 10 seconds and
restart the app.
Make sure that the devices are within 3-4 feet from each other.
Make sure that the controller is powered up.
Check if the app and the controller have been paired correctly.

EMC INFORMATION Vielight Neuro Pro including AC adapter
Important information regarding Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC)
With the increased number of electronic devices such as PC’s and mobile telephones, medical
devices in use may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference from other devices.
In order to regulate the requirements of EMC with the aim to prevent unsafe product situations,
the IEC60601-1-2 standard has been implemented.
The Neuro Pro and AC adapter conform to IEC60601-1-2-2007 standard for both immunity and
emissions.
Nevertheless, special precautions need to be observed:
emission or decreased functionality of the device.
The device should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment.
Refer to further guidance below regarding the EMC environment in which the Neuro Pro should
be used.
The Neuro Pro, including AC adapter, needs special precautions regarding EMC and needs to be
used according to the EMC information provided in this document.
Guidance and manufacturer’s declaration - electromagnetic emissions
The Neuro Pro including the AC adapter, uses RF energy only for its internal function. Therefore, its
RF emissions are very low and are not likely to cause any interference in nearby electronic
equipment.
The Neuro Pro including the AC adapter, is suitable for use in all establishments, including
domestic establishments and those directly connected to the public low-voltage power supply
network that supplies buildings used for domestic purposes.
Recommended separation distance between portable and mobile RF communications
equipment and the Vielight Neuro Pro including AC adapter
The Neuro Pro including the AC adapter, is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in
which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The user of this device can help prevent electro-
magnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF
communications equipment (transmitters) and the Neuro Pro including AC adapter as recom-
mended below, according to the maximum output of the communications equipment.
