OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
USING THE ALLEVARED LIGHT THERAPY BELT
1. Place the AllevaRed therapy belt in position around your waist, or
other area to be treated, with the adjustment strap in the front,
ensuring that the LED side of the belt is touching your body or
clothing.
2. Use the Velcro
®
adjustment strap to secure the belt. It should be
snug, but not too tight. Use the Velcro
®
extension belt if you need
more length, for example, when treating your shoulder, chest, or
upper back.
3. Connect the AllevaRed to a power source (see page 10).
4. Press the On/Pulse/Off button on the remote control to turn on
the device. The display screen will light up and the display will show
"OFF".
5. Press the Intensity button to choose from the 5 light intensity levels
L0–L4. Your selection appears in the display window. L0, the lowest
setting, is the default. You may adjust intensity at any time.
6. Press the Time button to adjust the treatment session duration from
5–30 minutes, in five-minute increments. The default duration is five
minutes. Each time you press the Time button, the duration increases
by five minutes. To decrease the duration, press the Time button until
the number is 30. Continue to press the Time button, and the timer
will start over again at 5 minutes. Keep pressing to reach your desired
session duration. Your selection appears in the display window and can
be adjusted at any time.
7. Press the Mode button to select from the three modes. Press the
button once to select red light therapy mode (660nm), press twice for
near-infrared therapy mode (850nm), and press three times for red
light + near-infrared therapy mode (660+850nm). You may change the
mode at any time.

WHAT IS PULSED LIGHT THERAPY?
Pulsed light therapy is phototherapy that uses rapid pulses of
light to produce improved results. The light rapidly turns on and
off at a particular frequency (for example 10 Hz). The frequency
is a measure of the pause between one "on" time and the next.
With 10 Hz pulsed light therapy, the light pulses on and off 10
times per second.
Emerging research shows that the short pause between light
pulses encourages cells to regenerate more efficiently, meaning
pulsed light has a greater effect on cell regeneration and recovery.
By default, the AllevaRed uses continuous waves of light. When
the AllevaRed is on, press the On/Pulse/Off button once to turn
on 10 Hz pulsed light therapy. The LED lights will emit rapid pulses
of red and/or near-infrared light, depending on the mode selected.
8. Press the On/Pulse/Off button a second time to turn on 10 Hz pulsed
light therapy. The LEDs will pulse, or flash, on and off in a cycle.
"10Hz" will show on the screen.
9. Press the On/Pulse/Off button a third time to stop the treatment
session at any time. The AllevaRed will automatically shut down when
the set time duration is complete. Press the On/Pulse/Off button
again if you wish to continue using the device.
10. Always power off and unplug the device after each use and before
removing the AllevaRed belt.
11. Remove the device and allow it to cool for cleaning or storing.
