Operating Instructions

1. Turning On and Selecting Mode

The Dodow offers two breathing exercise modes:

2. Breathing Exercise

Synchronize your breathing with the pulsating blue light on the ceiling:

• As the light expands and gets brighter, inhale deeply.
• As the light contracts and dims, exhale slowly.

Focus on the light and your breath to calm your mind and body. The device will automatically switch off at the end of the selected mode.

3. Adjusting Brightness

To change the brightness setting:

1. Ensure Dodow is off.
2. Press down lightly on the touchpad with your finger for 3 seconds until the LEDs light up.
3. Touch the touchpad to rotate through the 3 available brightness settings.
4. Confirm your choice by pressing down on the touchpad with your finger for 3 seconds.

4. Turning Off

Dodow shuts down automatically at the end of each exercise. You can also switch it off beforehand by pressing the touchpad with your finger for 3 seconds.

Maintenance

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your Dodow device:

• Keep the device clean and free from dust. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth.
• Avoid exposing the device to liquids or excessive moisture.
• Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
• Replace batteries when the light becomes dim or the device does not respond.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Dodow device, consider the following:

• Device not turning on: Check if the batteries are correctly inserted and have sufficient charge. Replace them if necessary.
• Light is too dim or too bright: Adjust the brightness setting as described in the "Operating Instructions" section.
• Difficulty synchronizing breathing: Ensure you are lying on your back for optimal light projection. Practice focusing on the light's expansion and contraction.
• Blue light and sleep disruption: Dodow's light signal is intentionally dim to avoid impacting melatonin secretion. Exposure to blue light has been shown to reduce stress, which is why it is used over other colors.
