Read All Safety Guidelines Before Using Your goLITE®
Observe these safety instructions to avoid potential hazards that could result in personal
injuries or damage to your goLITE.
•Never use damaged or worn cords or plugs—this could result in electric shock,
burns, and/or fire.
•
Don’t place heavy objects on top of the power cord or the goLITE.
•When unplugging the goLITE, grasp the plug directly to avoid damaging the cord.
Never pull on the power cord to remove a plug from the socket.
• To avoid damage to the goLITE, avoid spilling liquid into any part of the light.
Never expose your goLITE to water or rain.
• Your goLITE contains an internal rechargeable Li-Ion battery pack. Do not incinerate,
disassemble or expose to high temperatures (above 60°C/140°F). Batteries may cause
overheating, fire, or bursting. Dispose of the device properly.

The Comfort of Blue
By using BLUEWAVE light-emitting diodes (LEDs), the goLITE delivers safe and effective wavelengths
of light, while eliminating harmful UV and the eyestrain that can be associated with other bright light
treatments.
Safe and Effective
According to independent ocular safety testing, BLUEWAVE light is safe when following the recommended
usage guidelines. BLUEWAVE technology in your goLITE passes ICNRIP/ACGIH threshold value limits
at only 15% (light energy exceeding 100% is considered potentially hazardous). The effectiveness of the
type of light in BLUEWAVE has been researched and advocated by leading medical universities. For more
information, visit www.ApolloHealth.com.

Understanding Light, Health, and Circadian Rhythms
The human body uses light cues, such as those provided by the sun, to time certain internal functions.
Properly timed rhythms regulate mood, sleep, energy, appetite, and digestion. These daily internal cycles,
called circadian rhythms, sometimes fall out of sync, resulting in an unregulated body clock.
Unfortunately, modern living has dramatically altered nature’s cues. A modern day no longer starts at the
crack of dawn and ends at 8:00 p.m. Workdays are getting longer and many people face shift work sched-
ules. Additionally, the advent of electric lighting allows social gatherings and personal activities to extend
well into the night. These factors have diminished the body’s natural ability to regulate the body clock.
Circadian Rhythm Imbalance
When our circadian rhythm becomes imbalanced, the body produces the wrong hormones, chemicals,
and neurotransmitters at the wrong time of the day. The results range from feelings of sadness to sleep-
lessness to lack of energy. Many people suffer from a loss of energy and mood that can last for a short
period of time to more than a couple of weeks. For many, these feelings come on stronger in the winter
and in darker climates.
Circadian Rhythms
5
An imbalance in circadian rhythms contributes to the following:
• Winter blues • Lack of energy (especially in the winter)
• Feelings of sadness • Sleeplessness
• Jet lag • Mood swings
• Lack of concentration • Irritability
• Loss of appetite
Restored Balance with BLUEWAVE Technology™
BLUEWAVE technology helps shift circadian rhythms back to their normal pattern by delivering a
specifically engineered wavelength, color, and intensity of light that stimulates the production of key
substances triggered by the brain. BLUEWAVE naturally affects the body by shifting the body clock to its
correct timing, causing the proper signals to be produced at the right time of day.

Plugging In Your goLITE
Your goLITE comes with a 9V AC/DC adapter. The adapter includes a set of interchangeable plugs that
are designed to be used in electrical outlets worldwide. Your adapter can operate on AC power ranging
from 100–240 volts.
Use the enclosed adapter only, or a replacement adapter specified by Apollo Health for use with the
goLITE. For safety and proper operation of your goLITE, never use an unapproved adapter.
Charging Instructions
IMPORTANT: Charge your goLITE for at least 8 hours before initial use.
Your goLITE contains an internal Li-Ion battery pack. To charge your goLITE, connect your AC/DC
adapter to a wall outlet and plug the goLITE into the adapter. The battery display icon will flash, which
indicates that the battery is charging in rapid mode. Once the battery is charged, the battery icon will
switch to a steady display, indicating that the battery is receiving a trickle charge only.
Charge your goLITE for at least 8 hours before initial use. Subsequent charges should be complete in
three to four hours. A single charge should last for three to five treatment sessions.
WARNING: Do not incinerate, disassemble, or expose to high temperatures (above 60°C/140°F). Bat-
teries may cause overheating, fire, or bursting. Dispose of the battery properly. Use the specified AC/DC
adapter only.
Getting Started

Positioning Your goLITE
Because the reaction is through peripheral stimulation, use the goLITE at a slight
angle to your face (see diagram 1), and do not look directly into the light.
• For best results, place the goLITE approximately 20–30 inches from your eyes.
Allow the light to bathe your face from the side.
• You can read, eat, work at the computer, watch TV, put on makeup, or exercise
while using your goLITE.
• Use your goLITE in a well-lit room to minimize eyestrain.
• For best results, place the goLITE near you at eye level so it shines directly into your eyes.
• The proper response to light therapy occurs through the retina of the eyes, not through the skin.
However, you do not need to stare at the light. If you are in front of the goLITE and position it
close enough, only an occasional glance is needed achieve the maximum benefits.
Your Eyes Should Be Open for Optimal Results
The hormonal response works through the eyes, not the skin. This is not a tanning light. In fact, Apollo’s
BLUEWAVE Technology creates specific wavelengths that produce a circadian response while eliminating
UV hazards and minimizing eyestrain.
Instructions for Use
To begin using the goLITE, swing lid open to rest on surface (see diagram 2).
