Introduction  
Your new Verilux® CleanWave® UV-C Sanitizing Wand eliminates up to 99.9%  
of viruses (including H1N1), bacteria (including MRSA), germs, mold, dust mite  
and flea eggs.  
We hope you enjoy this product and use it frequently. Your results will be  
cumulative – your “kill rate” may be 90% during your first use on a  
surface, then “90% of the remaining 10%” on your next use.  
About Light and UV-C Light  
Visible light is electromagnetic radiation in wavelengths visible to the human  
eye. The wavelength of visible light, in nanometers, is about 400 nm to 750 nm.  
A nanometer is one billionth of a standard metric meter.  
Ultraviolet or UV light is the part of the electromagnetic spectrum – from about  
10 nm to 400 nm – that contains frequencies just higher than visible light.  
Above ultraviolet rays are X-rays. And above X-rays are gamma rays – the  
highest – and highest energy – waves yet found.  
Ultraviolet light was discovered by German physicist Johann Ritter. In 1801,  
Ritter was experimenting with silver chloride, a chemical known to break down  
when exposed to sunlight. He found that light at the blue end of the spectrum  
increased the reaction.  
Experimenting further, he discovered that the reaction was even more efficient  
when exposed to radiation beyond blue – radiation that was invisible. He called  
this new type of radiation ultraviolet, meaning “beyond the violet.(Ultra comes  
from the Latin for “beyond.)  
UV light is invisible to humans, but birds and some species of insects, snakes,  
turtles and fish can see ultraviolet light.  
UV light can be divided into various wavelength bands with differing  
characteristics.  
The Sun emits ultraviolet radiation in UV-A, UV-B and UV-C bands, but  
because of absorption in the ozone layer, 99% of the ultraviolet radiation that  
reaches Earth is “long wave” UV-A.  
UV-A, also known as “black light,creates fluorescent effects at your local  
disco and “midnight bowling” sessions as UV light (which cannot be seen) is  
absorbed by materials and re-emitted in the visible range.  
UV-B “medium wave” rays both help and hurt. Too much UV-B exposure  
causes sunburn and can damage human tissue. Too little UV-B exposure leads  
to a lack of Vitamin D absorption in animals.  
The higher-energy “short wave” UV-C band rays (100 to 280 nanometers) are  
highly lethal to microorganisms. This range is known as the Germicidal Spectrum.

Introduction continued  
UV-C light sanitizes microorganisms and biological pollutants, including  
viruses, bacteria, germs, mold, dust mite and flea eggs by penetrating their cell  
membranes and attacking and deactivating their cellular DNA, stopping their  
reproductive capabilities and killing them.  
The scientific community has long known that UV-C light acts as a natural  
sterilization system. Hospitals, food processing facilities, scientific laboratories,  
water treatment plants and air-handling systems use UV-C light to eliminate up  
to 99.9% of contaminants and germs.  
The Verilux® CleanWave® Wand and Travel Wand provide that same UV-C  
ultraviolet technology for use in your home and on the road.  
The “Ultraviolet” article at Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraviolet)  
offers a wealth of additional information and a comprehensive list of “See Also”  
links and References.  
Benefits of Using UV-C Light  
• No Chemicals.Your home may contain more deadly chemicals than  
laboratories did 50 years ago. With Verilux’s CleanWave Technology, you  
can sanitize surfaces effectively and safely without chemicals and chemical  
residues. The CleanWave eliminates up to 99.9% of bacteria, viruses,  
germs, fungus, allergens* and mold with no chemical residue.  
• Sanitizing with UV-C light means you don’t need harsh chemicals that  
pollute our water and add unnecessary product packaging to our landfills.  
Reduced production of household cleansers means fewer chemicals in our  
environment and reduced fuel expenditures for transporting them to the  
marketplace.  
• Odor elimination. Bedding and couches will smell and feel fresh with  
consistent use of the Sanitizing Wand. Because CleanWave eliminates  
biological material that causes odors, musty smells and pet odors are  
virtually eliminated.

Charging the Wand  
It takes approximately 14 hours to fully charge the  
battery for the first time.  
Connect the power adapter to the Wand.  
Plug the power adapter into a 110V grounded  
electrical outlet.  
The status LED light is RED when the Wand is  
charging.  
The status LED light is GREEN when the Wand is fully  
charged or in use.  
After the first full charge, typical charging time is 8  
hours under normal use. The Wand can be used for  
1 1/2 hours when fully charged.You will not over-  
charge the battery or otherwise harm the device by  
keeping it connected to the charger between uses.  
Low Battery Indication  
When the battery is low and requires charging, the Wand will beep 10 times  
and the red LED will flash 10 times.  
LED Indicator Status:  
Flashing Red – Wand needs to be recharged.  
Red – the Wand is charging.  
Green – the Wand is fully charged or the Wand is on.  
Sanitizing Wand Operation  
Timer  
During operation, a count-up timer shows total sanitizing  
time. The display increments each second to 59, then  
briefly displays the minutes elapsed before starting  
another 59-second count-up. The “next” minute reached  
is then shown briefly and the count-up begins again.  
This cycle repeats for 99 minutes or until the Wand  
requires charging.  
To Start,  
To see the current minute of sanitizing time, quickly  
Press Until  
Beep  
press and release the blue button.

Sanitizing Wand Operation continued  
For example, if you’ve been using the Wand for 3 minutes and 20 seconds,  
the Wand will show “20.Press the button and the display will briefly show “03”  
before continuing the by-the-second count-up to minute “04.”  
Step by step:  
1. To turn the Wand on, press the blue button until the Wand beeps – about  
two seconds.  
2. Lift your finger off the button. The Wand will turn on. The fluorescent bulb  
may take another second or two to light.  
3. The display window will show the count-up timer.  
4. Begin sanitizing by holding the Wand as close as possible and no more than  
one-half inch above the surface and moving Wand slowly side to side in a  
12” (1 foot) area. The energy required to kill microorganisms is a product of  
the light’s intensity and exposure time. The closer the Wand is to an object,  
the more intense the energy. See Guidelines for Use (page 12) for more  
specific information.  
5. Move the Wand to next 12” (1 foot) area and continue sanitizing.  
6. Repeat until you have completely sanitized your desired surface area.  
7. When you have finished, press the blue button for three seconds. The Wand  
will turn off.  
NOTE: Be sure the Wand is facing downward, directly over your desired  
sanitizing area. A safety switch will automatically turn off the UV-C light if the  
Wand is tilted upward from the horizontal position. (The counter will not stop  
during this temporary bulb safety shut-off.)  
When the battery charge is low, the Wand will begin to beep and the red  
indicator light will flash, indicating that the battery needs to be charged.  
Using the Wand in Charging Mode  
The Wand can be used in charging mode simply by connecting the power  
adapter to the Wand and following the Operation instructions shown above.

1. Try turning on the Wand while it is connected to the AC adapter and plugged  
in. If it works, the battery may not be charged or connected properly.  
2. Open battery compartment, disconnect battery clips for two seconds. Re-  
connect clips; re-insert battery and cover. Try again.  
No blue light underneath  
• Bulb may be loose from shipping.  
• Bulb may be broken or otherwise need replacing.  
• Be sure Wand is facing downward directly over the surface being sanitized.  
If the Wand is not operated in this manner, the internal safety switch will  
prevent the Wand from operating. This feature is to help prevent direct  
exposure to UV-C Light. Use caution when operating the Wand and do not  
attempt to override this product feature.
