Product Overview

The Sun Alarm™ SA-2002 combines the features of a traditional alarm clock (digital display, AM/FM radio, beeper, snooze button, etc) with an exciting new way to start the day. The special built-in light of the Sun Alarm™ gradually increases in intensity, simulating a natural sunrise. Included is a sunset feature where the light fades to darkness over time. The Sun Alarm™ is equipped with a 9V battery backup system and a security feature that activates the lamp at random intervals to deter intruders. For best results, position the clock on a bedside table or nightstand at eye level.

Features

Alarm: To activate the alarm so that the cycle begins at the set time, press the ALARM ON/OFF button. The light behind the button should be illuminated. The alarm will shut off automatically after 30 minutes. To turn off the alarm, press the ALARM ON/OFF button.

Beeper/Radio: To activate the beeper at the end of the Sunrise cycle, move the switch to BEEPER. To wake to the radio, move the switch on the left of the unit to the AUTO RADIO position. For no radio or beeper, leave it in the OFF position.

Snooze Button: The Sun Alarm™ is equipped with a snooze button that allows you to sleep in just a little longer. The snooze cycle lasts 10 minutes followed by a 1 minute sunrise.

Flash: When this feature is activated (by pressing the FLASH button once to turn it on, twice to turn it off) the lamp will flash like a strobe light at the end of the alarm cycle. This feature is designed for heavy sleepers who need a little extra help in waking up.

Lamp: The Sun Alarm™ can also be used as a dimmable bedside lamp. Press and hold the LAMP button until the appropriate intensity is displayed. Release the button and press it again to turn the lamp off. Pressing the SNOOZE button will also turn the lamp off.

Sunset: With this feature, the Sun Alarm’s light fades out over the selected interval of 15, 30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes. This feature acts as a fading night light which is useful in a child’s room and for people having trouble getting to sleep.

· Press & hold the SUNSET button

· Press the MINUTE button to adjust the time interval

· Press the SUNSET button a 2nd time for activation

To turn off the Sunset before the end of the interval, press the SNOOZE button. The default setting for the Sunset is 30 minutes.

Nap Timer: This feature allows you to take a nap and wake to the custom Sunrise without having to reset the alarm time. To activate:

Press the ALARM ON/OFF button so that it is illuminated.

Press & hold the NAP button

Adjust the time interval (15, 30, 60, 90, 120 minutes) by pressing the MINUTE button. Default time is 30 minutes.

· Press the NAP button a 2nd time to activate the Nap Timer. Alarm button will blink.

· To turn off the nap timer press the ALARM ON/OFF button.

AM/FM Radio: The Sun Alarm™ is equipped with a fully-functional AM/FM radio. To listen to the radio, move the switch located on the left side of the unit to the ON position. Adjust the volume using the rotary dial on the right side of the unit, and the band (AM or FM) by adjusting the BAND switch on the right side. Tune to the desired station by adjusting the tuning dial on the right side of the unit.

Security Feature: The Sun Alarm™ has a built in Security Feature which randomly activates the lamp. This is a great way to deter intruders by giving the impression that someone is home. Activate this by pressing the SECURITY button.

Custom Sunrise: The Sunrise feature activates the built-in light which fades in from zero to full intensity over the selected time intervals of 0, 15, 30, 60, 90, or 120 minutes.

· Press the MINUTE button to adjust the interval

The default setting for the Sunrise feature is 30 minutes.

· Press the SNOOZE button to stop the demo.

Expansion Port: The Sun Alarm™ is equipped with an expansion port where future products can be connected to expand the productivity of the unit. This is not to be confused with the incoming power port where the AC power supply cord plugs in.

Dimmer: To dim the digital display on the Sun Alarm™, press and hold the DEMO button and press the SNOOZE button. To resume full display intensity, repeat the process.

Battery Backup

In the event of a power outage, your new Sun Alarm™ is equipped with a battery backup system. In order to conserve battery power, the clock display and light will not function; the time and alarm cycles, however, will continue to function. When power resumes, all settings will be saved and the clock display & light will operate normally. If the power is still out during the alarm cycle, only the beeper or radio will. This allows you to wake up at the selected time in the rare event that your power should stay out past the alarm cycle time. Battery should be replaced at least once a year to avoid damage due to battery leakage.

Bulb Replacement Information

Use the diagram and instructions below when changing your Sun Alarm’s light bulb.

Unplug your Sun Alarm™ from the outlet before replacing the bulb. Then, unscrew the cover on the rear of the globe using a flat-head screwdriver. Remove the globe gently and replace the old bulb with a new one. ONLY USE the B-41 bulb supplied by the Soleil Sun Alarm Company. Carefully replace the globe and re-screw the cover. Continue normal usage.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Why is there a 0-minute interval for the sunrise feature? With this feature, the Sun Alarm’s light turns on to full intensity immediately when the alarm time comes. This feature is helpful for hearing impaired users or people needing an instant awakening.

Does the Sun Alarm™ work with foreign electricity? Yes, the Sun Alarm™ is fully capable of handling foreign currents with the use of a travel power converter.

What purpose does the data port serve? The data port works with the new SA-300W controller. This new device allows the Sun Alarm to control an external lamp up to 300 Watts. Click here for more information.

The built-in light doesn’t wake me up, what can I do?

You may want to reposition your Sun Alarm™ so that it is directly adjacent to your pillow.
Setting a longer sunrise duration can also help (Custom Sunrise.) Although the light of the Sun Alarm™ helps wake your body, you may also use the Flash feature, beeper, or the AM/FM radio.
The new SA-300W controller works with the Sun Alarm SA-2002 or the SL050 to control an external lamp up to 300 Watts. Click here for more information.

The alarm does not work or the security feature does not work.

The alarm will not function if the security feature is activated. As well, the security feature will not function when the alarm button is turned on.

The Sunrise does not work.

The Sun Alarm is designed to simulate a sunrise. The Sunrise light cycle begins prior to the set alarm time.

For example, with a 30 minute Sunrise, the light will start 30 minutes before your alarm time. If you set your alarm time at 7am, the light will start at 6:30am. As the light starts off very low, it will take a few minutes for you to see the light.

If you are testing the Sun Alarm with a 30 minute sunrise, please keep in mind that the alarm set time must be more than 30 minutes after the clock time. eg: set the clock time to 7am and set the alarm time to 7:35 am. In 5 minutes you will see the alarm button start blinking, and then you will see the sunrise begin within several minutes.
