Important Safety Information
Legal Disclaimer:
The statements regarding this product have not been evaluated by the FDA (U.S. Food & Drug Administration). This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. It is classified as a low-risk, general wellness/fitness product that does not require FDA clearance, in accordance with the “General Wellness: Policy on Low Risk Devices” draft released January 20, 2015.
General Precautions:
- Always use the provided eye protection during operation.

- Keep out of reach of children.
Setup
Follow these steps to set up your Hooga PRO300 light therapy panel:
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove the light therapy panel, adjustable stand, power cord, and eye protection from the packaging.
- Attach the Stand: Securely attach the adjustable stand to the base of the light therapy panel. Ensure all connections are firm.
- Position the Device: Place the assembled unit on a stable, flat surface. Adjust the stand to your desired angle for optimal treatment area coverage.
- Connect Power: Plug the power cord into the designated port on the device, then plug the other end into a standard electrical outlet.
Operating Instructions
To begin your light therapy session:
- Wear Eye Protection: Always put on the provided eye protection before activating the device.
- Power On: Locate the power switches on the side of the panel. You can activate the Red (R) light, Near Infrared (NIR) light, or both simultaneously.
- Set Timer: Use the built-in timer function to set your desired session duration. The device will automatically shut off after the set time.
- Position for Treatment: Position yourself approximately 6 inches from the panel for optimal irradiance (109mW/cm²). The 60-degree beam angle ensures effective coverage.
- Session Duration: Typical sessions can range from a few minutes to 10-20 minutes per area, depending on individual needs and desired outcomes.
The Near Infrared (850nm) LEDs are not fully visible to the human eye, so they may appear dim or off even when active. This is normal operation.
Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Hooga PRO300:
- Cleaning: Ensure the device is unplugged before cleaning. Gently wipe the surface of the panel and LEDs with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or liquids directly on the LEDs.
- Cooling Fans: The device features built-in cooling fans to prevent overheating. Ensure the fan vents on the sides are not obstructed during operation. Periodically check for dust accumulation and gently clean if necessary.
- Storage: Store the device in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture when not in use.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Hooga PRO300, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:
- Device Not Powering On:
- Check if the power cord is securely plugged into both the device and the electrical outlet.
- Ensure the power switches (Red and NIR) are in the 'On' position.
- Verify that the electrical outlet is functional by plugging in another device.
- Near Infrared Lights Appear Dim/Off:
- This is normal. Near Infrared light (850nm) is not fully visible to the human eye. If the NIR switch is on, the LEDs are functioning.
- Unusual Noise from Fans:
- Ensure the fan vents are clear of any obstructions.
- If the noise persists and is excessive, contact customer support.
