Thank you for purchasing a Well Red Coronet.
The Coronet light hat design is based on medical research which has shown that:
1. Red and near infrared lights are safe to use on a daily basis for the recommended duration, which has
been programmed into this device, and
2. Red and near infrared lights may improve symptoms of neurodegenerative diseases, sleep quality,
mood and energy levels.
While the research thus far is very encouraging, no guarantees can be given that there will be improvements
for any one individual.
It does seem that the longer a person has been living with a neurodegenerative disease, the more damage has
happened inside the brain. In this situation, red and near infrared lights may be less effective, compared with
someone who is at an early stage.
To complicate things further, the individual using the Coronet may not notice any changes at all, while at the
same time family members and friends do notice improvements.
Neurodegenerative disorders are subtle and complex beasts –for more about this read Catherine’s blog:

Safety
Your coronet is a 12volt electrical device.
Do NOT use in or near water.
Do NOT use with wet hair.
Do NOT press or push the LED lights
Care
Your coronet is made with aluminium.
You can carefully and slowly bend the aluminium arms into shape.
Do NOT repeatedly bend the aluminium arms.
Use the instructions to fix it into shape for your head, then leave it in this shape.
Do NOT continue to reshape the coronet.
Do NOT press or push the LED lights

UNPACKING
 Four items:
Your coronet –in its flat mode
A rectangular box –this contains your power
supply
Nylon wing-nuts and bolts –to fit the coronet
to your head.
Bolts
Wing-nuts
Foam strip –for comfort
 Before you start assembling:
Set yourself up
Use a comfortable table or bench, preferably near a power point.
Clear the area so that you have plenty of room to work.
Set up the Power Supply
Open the smaller rectangle box with the power supply and plug it in.
Test the Coronet
Plug the power supply into the Coronet to verify that all the LEDs are
working.
If any fail to light, then STOP HERE. You will need to return the Coronet in its
box if it is still flat. If it is not, then use a different box.
Discipline the Wing-nuts and bolts

Well Red Pty Ltd. Email: [email protected]
Put all the wing-nuts and bolts into a container so that they don’t try to run
away.
Discipline yourself
Work slowly.
Don’t force or twist the aluminium. Yanking the aluminium can harm it.
Your Coronet
Always keep the LEDS of your Coronet facing upwards.
Look carefully at the cover page showing your Coronet’s markings and
features
There are eight legs radiating from the centre
Each leg has LED lights spaced along it.
Each leg ends in a wide foot, with holes and slots.
Assembling your coronet
 Curve the feet - gently
Place two fingers on either side of the foot near the hole and slot.
With your other hand, hold one side of one foot, and gently bend it inwards.
Bend slowly, aiming for a gentle curve. No right angles.
Repeat with the other side of the foot, then all the feet. Work slowly.

 Curve the end of each leg - gently
Put two fingers of one hand on the clear parts between LEDs mid-way
along the leg.
With two fingers of the other hand placed under the foot, gently ease the
whole foot towards the centre. Gently.
Be gentle. You will be adjusting your coronet throughout the assembly.
Repeat with each leg. Work slowly and gently.
It should look something like this, once you have eased every leg.

 Curve the middle of each leg –gently
Put two fingers on the clear part between LEDs near the coronet centre.
Press down gently.

Put the other hand under the foot and the end of the leg
Gently lift the leg towards the centre, just a little. Not too much.
You will be adjusting your coronet throughout the assembly.
 Curve the each leg a little more - gently
Put one finger on the clear part between LEDs near the coronet centre.
Curve each leg section slowly inwards, aiming for a gentle curve.
Make sure that you don’t press on a LED light.
Repeat with each leg and foot section slowly. Work slowly and gently.
 Keep curving those legs - gently.
You’ll see the holes in each side of the feet moving closer together.

 Connect the feet
Put the wing-nuts and bolts close to you.
Gently pull two legs next to each other until the holes/slots just start to
overlap. Keep the slots on the outside and holes on the inside.
From the inside (LED-side) of the coronet, insert the bolt shaft through the
hole then the slot so that it connects the two feet.
Using a wing-nut, screw the shaft into place.
Bolts are inserted from the inside.
Wing-nuts are attached on the outside.
Don’t make the wing-nuts tight at this stage. There will be lots of adjusting
to do.
Work around the coronet, carefully and gently connecting the feet.
Watch out for the LED lights, as it is easy to press on them.

Eventually you should have all the feet connected creating your Coronet.
Now for the fitting.

Fitting the coronet
To make it comfortable for your head, sit the coronet on your
head with:
Fat the front.
Band the cable at the back.
Place the Fso that it sits on your forehead, about a centimetre (just under
half an inch) above your eyebrows.
Adjust wing-nuts to fit the Coronet to your head:
It is best to have someone help with this bit, as it is a bit fiddly.
Keep checking that Fis sitting on your forehead just above your eyebrows.
Keep adjusting the wing-nuts.
The coronet can be adjusted to fit a very large head, or a very small head.
The LEDS can be close to the head as the coronet has a heat-limiting sensor.
Don’t allow the LEDs to directly touch the head.
Aim for a fit that:
-feels stable and not too wobbly.
-has all the LEDS sitting away from your head, not on your scalp
-is OK to have on your head for 20 - 24 minutes.
-allows you to read, use a computer or watch television.
Be careful
Adjust carefully and slowly. Make sure that the cable is at the back.
There is no danger to the lights shining in your eyes, but your Coronet is
much more effective if positioned with Fon your forehead above your
eyebrows, and Bshining on the lowest part of the back of the head.

Use pieces of sponge around the perimeter
Make sure that you don’t cover any LEDS.
Make sure that no LED is directly on your scalp –they need to sit out from
your head. The distance from your scalp to the LED will vary a little, but
don’t worry about that.
If you find that the pulsing is annoying, make sure that there is a length of
foam outside the front LEDs, so that you create a foam barrier between
the lowest LEDs and your eyes.

Using your coronet
Coronets are pre-programmed
Your coronet is pre-programmed with wavelength, power, pulsing and timing:
Wavelengths: 670nm and 810nm LEDs
Timing: 24 minutes (12 minutes each wavelength)
Pulse-rate: 40 Hz
When you first turn on your Coronet, it will give a short flash of red light. After a
few seconds, the visible red 670nm LEDs start pulsing. This continues for 12
minutes.
After twelve minutes, the red LEDS power down and the near infrared 810nm
LEDs power up and run for twelve minutes. These LEDs seem quite faint as
they are at the very edge of the visible spectrum.
You will notice that the top of the Coronet becomes warmer while the 810nm
LEDs are pulsing. The Coronet has an in-built temperature sensor and if the
temperature at the top of the Coronet reaches 50 degrees Celsius, the
810nm LEDs will power down. If you carefully watch the Coronet on someone
else’s head, you will see the faint lights fading a little and then coming back.
This is the temperature control system at work.
Twice daily is great –if you can
Use your Coronet once a day, preferably every day.
Once a day is good, and twice a day seems better.
Don’t worry if you have the odd busy day when you haven’t time to use your
Coronet.
Always be comfortable
Set yourself up in a relaxed way so that you are not tense or in any pain or
discomfort.
You might consider a permanent location to set up your Coronet. You could have
it already plugged into a power-point and sitting next to a comfortable chair.
You can start your session in three ways:
by turning the Coronet on at the power-point

by plugging the short Coronet cable into the power plug just before you put it
on; or
by connecting through your Android device, and using the Pause and
Resume buttons.
If you are easily bored, make sure that you have something to do for the
duration, whether it is reading, watching TV or using a tablet device, or doing
craft work.
Care for your Coronet
Be careful with your Coronet.
Always wait 3-4 seconds between turning it off and turning it on again.
When you have finished using it, unplug it and put it somewhere safe.
