Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to Philips! To fully benefit from the support that Philips offers, register your product at www.philips.com/welcome. The Philips Wake-up Light helps you wake up more pleasantly. The light gently prepares your body for waking up at the set time. To make waking up an even more pleasant experience, you can use natural wake-up sounds or the FM radio to wake up to (HF3506, HF3505 only).
The effects of the Wake-up Light
The Philips Wake-up Light gently prepares your body for waking up during the last 30 minutes of sleep. In the early morning hours our eyes are more sensitive to light than when we are awake. During that period the relatively low light levels of a simulated natural sunrise prepare our body for waking up and getting alert. People who use the Wake-up Light wake up more easily, have a better overall mood in the morning and feel more energetic. Because the sensitivity to light differs per person, you can set the light intensity of your Wake-up Light to a level that matches your light sensitivity for an optimal start of the day. For more information about the Wake-up Light, see www.philips.com.

| The appliance does not work at all. | Perhaps the adapter is not inserted properly in the wall socket. Put the adapter properly in the wall socket. Perhaps there is a power failure. Check if the power supply works by connecting another appliance. |
| The appliance does not respond when I try to set different functions. | Remove the adapter from the wall socket and reinsert it. The appliance goes back to factory settings. You need to set all functions again. |
| The lamp does not go on when the alarm goes off. | Perhaps you set a light intensity level that is too low. Increase the light intensity level. Perhaps the appliance is defective. Contact the Philips Consumer Care Centre in your country. |
| HF3506, HF3505 only: I do not hear the alarm sound when the alarm goes off. | Perhaps you set a sound level that is too low. To set a higher sound level, see chapter 'Using the appliance', section 'Radio/volume'. Perhaps the radio is not tuned correctly to a channel. Switch on the radio to check if the radio is tuned correctly to a radio channel. If you selected the radio as the alarm sound, the radio may be defective. Switch on the radio after you switch off the alarm to check if the radio works. If it does not work, contact the Philips Consumer Care Centre in your country. |
| HF3506, HF3505 only: The radio does not work. | The radio may be defective. Contact the Philips Consumer Care Centre in your country. Perhaps you set the volume too low. Increase the volume level. |
| HF3506, HF3505 only: The radio produces a crackling sound. | Perhaps the broadcast signal is weak. Adjust the frequency (see chapter 'Using the appliance' section 'Radio/volume' in the user manual) and/or change the position of the antenna by moving it around. Make sure you have unwound the antenna completely. |
| The alarm went off yesterday, but it did not go off today. | Perhaps you switched off the alarm function. When the alarm is switched ON, the alarm icon is shown in the display. If you do not see the alarm icon on the display, press the alarm button once. (See chapter 'Using the appliance' section 'Setting the alarm' in the user manual). |
| The light wakes me too early. | Perhaps you set a sound level and/or light intensity level that is too low. Set a higher sound and/or light intensity level. Perhaps the light intensity level you have set is not appropriate for you. Try a lower light intensity level if you wake up too early. If light intensity 1 is not low enough, move the appliance further away from the bed. |
| The light wakes me too late | Perhaps the appliance is positioned at a lower level than your head. Make sure the appliance is located at a height at which the light is not blocked by your bed, duvet or pillow. Also make sure the appliance is not placed too far away. |
