Notice PHILIPS HF3490

« 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.
