Getting Started

2. Power Adapter
3. Audio Cable
4. User Manual (this document) Connect Power

The power jack is located on the bottom of the SOUND+SLEEP SE. Push the power supply plug into the jack. Slip the cord under the rubber foot by separating the two pieces of the foot along the slit. The machine should sit flat on a table or nightstand if the cord is installed correctly. Next, connect the AC plug into an un-switched wall outlet. The system may take up to 30 seconds to perform a “self-test”. Please note the sixteen dots around the Dial do not light up. The Power Adapter can be used internationally with any AC line voltage from 100 – 240 Volts, 50 or 60 Hz.

Turn on the SOUND+SLEEP SE Press the Power Button and the Unit will initialize and start playing in about 2 seconds. The Unit may be turned Off with the Power Button, or the Sleep Timer Button (see page 6). Note: The Unit will retain the last settings used when you last powered it off using the Power Button. If you power it off by unplugging the Power Adapter from the wall outlet the settings may not be saved.

Rotate the Dial to select a Sound Category, next press the Selection Button to select the desired sound in that category (See SoundStory Table on page 7). Adjust the Volume with the Volume Up & Down Buttons.

What is Special About this Machine?

Adaptive Mode

• The SOUND+SLEEP SE can adapt to noise in your room. The Unit has a microphone that listens for disruptive noises and raises the volume and/or adds enhancing sounds to the SoundStory when they are detected.
• The Adaptive Button switches between Adaptive Mode On and Off. The light next to the Adaptive Button is lit when Adaptive Mode is On.
• When Adaptive Mode is Off the unit is in Manual Mode, and will not change its volume in response to noise. Instead, it will maintain a constant volume set by the Volume Up/Down Buttons.

Using The Adaptive Feature

The Adaptive Button allows the unit to be customized to suit your personal preferences and situation. You might prefer a quiet, steady sound and may not use the Adaptive feature, especially if there is little noise, or steady noise, in your environment. Or, you might need the additional noise masking that Adaptive provides. Experiment to find the setting you like best for different situations.

Note: When setting the volume in Adaptive Mode you are actually setting the maximum volume it can reach when it detects a loud noise. If the sound seems too low when it is quiet in your room, turn the volume up to a higher base level.

Sound Selection

There are four (4) SoundStories in each Sound Category for a total of 64 unique SoundStories. See the SoundStory Table on page 7 for details.

Not all the SoundStories are designed for sleep. Some SoundStories are designed for relaxation, speech privacy, meditation, and study/reading.

Your last sound selection in each category is saved for your convenience.

Useful Features

Timer

Using the Sleep Timer is optional. Turning on the Unit with the Power Button enables continuous play. The Sleep Timer can be used to set the Unit to play for a number of minutes and then shut off gradually and automatically.

• The time interval can be set to 30, 60, 90, or 120 minutes.
• Turning the Unit Off with the Power Button clears the Sleep Timer.
• If the Unit is Off and you press the Timer Button, the Unit will turn On and the Sleep Timer will be set to 30 minutes. Pressing the Timer Button again will advance the timer to the next interval.

Headphone Jack

• CAUTION: Avoid using headphones at high volume levels. Prolonged exposure may impair hearing.

External Audio Input Jack

When no Audio Cable is plugged in, the Unit is in Internal Audio Mode. When an Audio Cable is plugged in, the Unit is in External Audio Mode and can be used to listen to an external audio source. This allows you to listen to your Smartphone or any other audio source from any device with a standard headphone or line-out connector.

The standard 3.5 mm Audio Input Jack is located in the Connector Panel just above the Headphone Jack. (Audio Cable supplied). Simply plug one end of the supplied Audio Cable into your audio source, and the other end into the Audio Input Jack. Adjust the volume to your liking.

When you remove the Audio Cable, the Unit switches back to Internal Audio Mode and plays the previously selected SoundStory. Please note that all the volume and other settings are maintained and saved separately for External Audio Mode and the Internal Audio Modes.

Note: Some phones and other devices may generate noise if they are simultaneously being charged and used as an external audio source.

CAUTION: It is best to connect the audio source with care: 1) Turn volume down 2) Connect one end of Audio Cable to sound source 3) Connect other end of the Audio Cable to the Audio Input Jack 4) Adjust the SOUND+SLEEP SE volume to the desired listening level.

Charging Ports

The Unit has two USB-A charging ports (See page 7). They are the top two connectors in the Connector Panel just above the Audio In and Headphone Jacks. You can use the charging port(s) whenever you like. For example you can charge two Smart Phones while you are using the Unit to aid sleep.

Display On/Off

When the Unit is On, the Display Button turns the front panel lights On/Off.

Note: If the display is off and any setting is changed, the lights will come back on for 15 seconds and then go off again. Further note that hitting the Power Button when the unit is On and the display is off, will immediately turn the unit Off, not turn the lights on.
