Unboxing the SleepHub

Unpacking the SleepHub
Place the SleepHub box securely on a stable surface and lift the top in one smooth motion. Remove the individual SleepHub components from the packaging a store securely. Ensure that there is plenty of space to install the SleepHub, including the main unit and both speakers, and that there is a suitable power outlet near the bed or location that you intend to install the SleepHub. Ideally, to achieve optimal sound balance and performance, the intended installation location should allow you to place the speakers either side of the user’s sleeping position. The speakers can be placed either side of the bed, or facing the bed or behind the bed. Ensure that each speaker is placed either side of the person who will be using the device as they sleep, so that person is lying in the field of sound for each speaker.

CAUTION:
Ensure that all of the SleepHub is securely installed, in a location that should not leave it or those using the SleepHub, exposed to falls, trips, spillages, water or any other form of accidental damage.

Installing the SleepHub

Connecting the SleepHub

Connect the speakers to the main unit using the RCA cables.
The 2m cable should be connected to the speaker closest to the main unit
The 5m cable should be connected the speaker furthest from the main unit
Plug the power adapter into a wall socket and connect it to the main unit

Ensure that all of the SleepHub cables are securely installed, making sure that they are not likely to cause a trip hazard, or any other form of accidental damage.

Connecting the SleepHub

Caution!
Risk of product damage:
Always make sure that the outlet power supply and voltage corresponds to the voltage printed on the underside of the SleepHub

Risk of electric shock:
Always pull from the plug, when removing from the socket. Never pull the cable

Connecting to the internet
To ensure that your SleepHub™ is always up to date with the latest software and operating at peak performance, it is advised that you should keep it connected to your local WiFi network at all times.

On the home screen (below), tap the settings button to access the settings menu
Select Wireless from the setting menu
If necessary, tap the Wireless On / Off Toggle selector so that it is in the On position.
Tap the Network Setting button on the wireless setting menu screen and follow the on-screen prompts to select and connect to your local WiFi network

Updating the SleepHub software

Your SleepHub™ will check for software updates and install the latest versions, to ensure peak performance
When an update is available, your SleepHub™ will prompt you to install the latest software. Tap the on screen prompt to proceed.
Your SleepHub™ will restart and bring you back to the home screen

Introducing the Sleep Screen

From the home screen (see page 9), swipe from left to right, to access the Sleep Screen (above). Your SleepHub now displays each of your choices, regarding the setup of your sleep mode. From here, you can easily access the sleeping mode, soundscape and alarm menus. You can also access the SleepHub™ settings menu, to make further adjustments to the sounds, including balance, volumes. Depending on the soundscape you choose, a related image will display as the background to your home screen, until the screen fades to black.

Sleep sound and Soundscapes

Sleep sound and Soundscape volumes
SleepHub™ helps you to achieve quality sleep through scientifically formulated sounds that use rhythms and pulses to simulate the waves your brain should produce through each sleep cycle. We call this the sleep sound.
The sleep sound should be set so you can hear it clearly, but faintly. You may choose to sleep with this sound only without playing a soundscape. Where you choose to play a soundscape, it should be set at a volume which is slightly lower than the sleep sound – you should still be able to hear the sleep sound above the soundscape.
To set the volume levels that best suit you:

Tap the settings button on the home screen to access the settings menu
Tap Volume Control on the settings screen
Adjust the individual volume levels by moving the sliders up or down

Please note that you may need to try different levels during your initial sleep periods to find your optimal balance. The following levels will provide a useful starting point:

Master volume: 45 – 55
Soundscape: 50
Sleep sound: 55 Alarm: 50
Balance: 0 (sound will be evenly distributed between both speakers)

You may also find, that external factors, such as nutrition, exercise and stress etc, may provoke changes in your expected sleep experience. As you embark on your journey towards improved sleep, it is advised that you keep a sleep journal, to help track changes, and improve habits. Towards to back of this downloadable PDF, you will find some blank pages, that should help you take notes, and get started. Record your experiences, and as you progress on your journey, you should be able to see what improvements you have observed.

Getting the most from your SleepHub

Our research has shown that some people report benefits of using SleepHub™ within a few days, while others experience improvements in their sleepover several weeks. Through regular and repeated use of your SleepHub™, you could typically expect to feel more relaxed at bedtime, drift off to sleep more easily, wake up less and if you do, get back to sleep faster. In turn, you are likely to experience a better quality of sleep which might result in you feeling less tired during the day and having lower stress levels. At first, you may experience more dreaming than usual, due to deeper quality of sleep in all stages, including REM. This is normal and should subside once your new sleep pattern has been established. Don’t forget that other factors such as nutrition, exercise and your sleep environment will also affect how well you sleep. We recommend keeping a sleep journal to help you track your progress.
