How to use
Important:
SleepVibe can be used in several ways, depending on your needs. Please read these instructions carefully so that you can make the best use of this innovative product.
Unpack SleepVibe
Please familiarize yourself with SleepVibe by referring to Figure 1 below:
SleepVibe consists of four parts:
1. Power Supply
Insert the round barrel plug into the power port on the back of the Controller. Then insert the ∞ shaped plug of the power cord into the box component of the Power Supply.
2. Controller
When SleepVibe is plugged into a live household electrical receptacle, the Power Button on the top of the Controller will illuminate. This tells you that SleepVibe is ready to use. There is also a Vibration Level Knob for adjusting the vibrational intensity of SleepVibe from LO to HI.
3. Vibration Unit
This unit provides the vibrational therapy to help you attain restful, pain-free, uninterrupted, and restorative sleep. The bottom of the unit is fitted with two VERY POWERFUL MAGNETS. These magnets hold the Vibration Unit in place on your bed.
4. Vibration Plate
This felt covered metal plate is used to hold SleepVibe safely in place on your bed by sandwiching your mattress pad and bed clothes securely between the magnets on the base of the Vibration Unit and this plate.
Set Up SleepVibe
Before following these instructions, bring SleepVibe to your bed. Now, carefully SLIDE the Vibration Plate from under the Vibration Unit and set the Vibration Unit aside.
Don’t put any metal objects near the Vibration Unit! It has very powerful magnets underneath. If you have a pacemaker, or any implanted medical device that is susceptible to magnetic fields, do not put the Vibration Unit near the location of any such device.
Position the Vibration Plate:
There are many ways to position your SleepVibe based on your primary use of the device. Please start with one of these suggested setups. (Over time, you may find that moving the Vibration Unit to a different location may work better for you.)
Peripheral Neuropathy (PN) or Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS):
(Figure 2)
It’s important to position the Vibration Unit near where you experience the most pain or discomfort:
Feet: Slide the Vibration Plate under any mattress pad or topper, directly against the mattress, between where your feet usually rest during sleep.
Left/Right leg: Slide the Vibration Plate under any mattress pad or topper, directly against the mattress, to the left or right of where your leg usually rests during sleep.
Both legs: Slide the Vibration Plate under any mattress pad or topper, directly against the mattress, between where your legs usually rest during sleep.
Left/Right arm: Slide the Vibration Plate under any mattress pad or topper, directly against the mattress, to the left or right of where your arm usually rests during sleep.
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT):
(Figure 3)
Slide the Vibration Plate under any mattress pad or topper, directly against the mattress, between where your legs usually rest during sleep.
Vibrational Noise:
(Figure 4)
To provide ambient vibration that blocks disruptions that can awaken you, slide the Vibration Plate under any mattress pad or topper, directly against the mattress, at a lower corner or lower center point of the mattress. You can also try placing the Vibration Plate to the left or right of where your legs or torso usually rest during sleep.
Attach the Vibration Unit:
(Figure 5)
SLIDE the Vibration Unit over the bed sheets until it is centered on the Vibration Plate.
DO NOT SNAP THE VIBRATION PLATE AND VIBRATION UNIT TOGETHER!
(Figure 6)
The magnets are very powerful, and their force can catch your hands or skin in between them, possibly causing a bruise. This can also damage SleepVibe. Always SLIDE the Vibration Unit on and off of the Vibration Plate.
Route the cooling tube:
(Figure 7)
Route the cooling tube that connects the Vibration Unit to the Controller in the shortest path off the bed that allows you to easily access the controls during use.
Cover with a folded towel (suggested):
If you are using SleepVibe for Vibrational Noise, skip this step.
Fold a hand towel in thirds lengthwise and place on top of the Vibration Unit:
If the Vibration Unit is positioned between your legs, center the folded towel on the Vibration Unit and place one leg on top of the folded towel on either side (Figure 8).
If the Vibration Unit is positioned to the left or right of an arm or leg, place one third of the folded towel on the Vibration Unit and place your arm or leg on the remaining two-thirds of the folded towel (Figure 9).
Turn on the Controller:
Position yourself in your bed as if you were sleeping and place your arm or leg(s) as directed in Step 1.
Make sure the Vibration Level Knob is set to LO. Now press the Power Button. The power indicator light will turn off. (At night, LEDs can disrupt sleep. That’s why the SleepVibe power indicator is not illuminated when the unit is operating.)
Choose your vibration setting:
Slowly turn the Vibration Level Knob clockwise. You will feel the vibrational intensity of the Vibration Unit gradually increase. Choose a setting that feels comfortable for you. A lower intensity setting creates slower pulses that can feel stronger while a higher intensity setting creates faster pulses that can feel less acute.
It may take you a few nights to determine the intensity setting that works best for you. Higher is not necessarily better. Remember: There is no wrong setting for SleepVibe.
Relocating SleepVibe
If you’d like to move the Vibration Unit to a different location, SLIDE it off the Vibration Plate. Move the Vibration Plate to its new location and SLIDE the Vibration Unit to the center of the Vibration Plate.
Never snap the Vibration Plate and Vibration Unit together!
Storing or traveling with SleepVibe
SLIDE the Vibration Unit off the Vibration Plate.
Remove the Vibration Plate from your bed and SLIDE it over the magnets on the bottom of the Vibration Unit until it is centered.
NEVER, EVER, snap the Vibration Plate directly onto the magnets at the base of the Vibration Unit! Not only can the force damage SleepVibe, but you could catch your skin or fingers between them possibly causing a bruise.
Safety
SleepVibe automatically turns off after ten (10) hours. If this occurs, the indicator light will illuminate. Simply press the Power Button once to reset the timer and once again to turn SleepVibe back on for another ten hour period.
SleepVibe is equipped with a unique cooling system that allows it to operate under bedclothes. In the unlikely event that the Vibration Unit overheats, a thermal switch will automatically shut it off. If this occurs, please be sure that at least one side of the Vibration Unit is not covered with a towel or bedding.
Maintenance
SleepVibe is cooled by an ultra quiet fan that pulls air through a filter on the back of the Controller. Every month or so, inspect the filter to see if it is dirty. To clean it, simply pop off the surrounding frame and remove the filter. Rinse the filter under a stream of tap water, squeeze out any excess moisture, and allow it to air dry. When completely dry, re-insert the filter into the frame and snap it closed.
