5. Setup

- Plug the adapter into a wall socket.
The display will light up, and you can proceed to set the time.

6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Sunrise Simulation Alarm
The Wake-up Light simulates a natural sunrise, gradually increasing light from a soft red to a warm orange, then to a bright yellow. This process occurs over a period of 5 to 60 minutes (adjustable), stimulating your body to wake up naturally before your chosen alarm sound.

6.2 Setting Alarms
You can set up to two alarms, which is useful for different schedules (e.g., weekday and weekend). Each alarm can be customized with:
- Wake-up Time: The exact time you wish to be fully awake.
- Light Intensity: Choose from 20 customizable brightness settings, up to 300 lux.
- Natural Sound: Select from 6 natural sounds to complement the light, such as birdsong or gentle melodies.
- Sunrise Duration: Adjust the duration of the light simulation (5-60 minutes).
6.3 Sunset Simulation for Sleep
To help you fall asleep, the device offers a sunset simulation. The light gradually dims from a bright yellow to a soft red, mimicking a natural sunset, over a customizable period. This helps prepare your body for sleep.
