result of differences in light sensitivity between people.
FCC information
This device generates and uses radio frequency (RF) energy, and if not installed and used
-
properly, this equipment may cause interference to radio and television reception. These rules
are designed to provide reasonable protection against radio and television interference in a
residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in
particular installations. If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception
(which you can determine by unplugging the unit), try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures: Reorient the receiving antenna (that is, the antenna for the
radio or television that is “receiving” the interference). Move the unit away from the equipment
that is receiving interference. Plug the unit into a different wall outlet so that the unit and the
equipment receiving interference are on different branch circuits. If these measures do not
eliminate the interference, please consult your dealer or an experienced radio/television
technician for additional suggestions. Also, the Federal Communications Commission has
prepared a helpful booklet, “How To Identify and Resolve Radio TV Interference Problem”. This
booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402. Please

The Philips Wake-up Light helps you wake up more pleasantly. The light intensity of the lamp
gradually increases to the set level in the 30 minutes before the set wake-up time. The light gently
prepares your body for waking up at the programmed time. To make waking up an even more
pleasant experience, you can use natural wake-up sounds, the FM radio or even music from your
own iPod/iPhone. The Wake-up Light can be used as a speaker for your iPod/iPhone, which is
charged automatically when it is connected to the Wake-up Light. You can use the dusk simulation
function to have the Wake-up Light dim the light and sound gradually before they are completely
switched off at the time you set.
Note: Only the HF3490 supports the iPod/iPhone function. The iPod/iPhone function is not supported by
other Philips Wake-up Lights.
The effects of the Wake-up light
The Philips Wake-up Light gently prepares your body for waking up during the last half hour 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.
