Operating Instructions

Sunrise Simulation

The sunrise simulation feature gradually increases light intensity over 30 minutes before your set alarm time. The light transitions from a dim yellow to a bright yellow (up to 200 lux), mimicking a natural dawn. This process helps to gently prepare your body for waking.
