IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USE. Failure to follow these instructions could result in death or serious injury. 1. Smart Nora is intended to detect snoring and reduce snoring sounds by slowly moving the user’s pillow by means of adjusting the volume of the air-inflated Pillow Insert. The device is indicated for those whose periodic snoring causes their partners to wake up. The device is not indicated for diagnosis or treatment of sleep apnea or any other disease. 2. WARNING: To avoid danger of suffocation, keep Smart Nora away from infants and children. 3. If your sleep habits and position put you at risk of entangling a cord or tube around your neck while sleeping, do not use Smart Nora. 4. Smart Nora is not a monitoring device and will not warn you of any sleeping problems. 5. Avoid placing the power cable and air tube where it could present a tripping hazard. 6. Do not use Smart Nora around water or other liquids. Like any electronic device, there is an electrocution hazard if you get Smart Nora wet when it is plugged in. 7. Do not disassemble the Pebble, Base, or power adapter. There are no repairs that you can safely perform.

Inflates and deflates to

gently move your head. WELCOME TO BETTER SLEEP Smart Nora is the contact-free snoring solution loved by tens of thousands of couples worldwide, and featured in TIME, ABC, CBS, The Oprah Magazine, and many more. Smart Nora is designed for use in normal bedroom environments. During the night the Pebble, a microphone equipped with detection algorithms, listens for sounds of snoring. Upon detecting multiple snores, it activates the silent pump in the Base to gently inflate and deflate the Pillow Insert. This slight movement interrupts your snoring. After a few nights, you will get used to this movement and notice Smart Nora less and less. PEBBLE Microphone listens for snoring. 1 2 3 BASE Sits under your bed. 4 SMART NORA USER MANUAL 4 3

WHY WE SNORE

Snoring is the result of our airways collapsing as the upper throat muscles relax during sleep. When we breathe through the narrowed airway, we create vibrations that are heard as snoring. WHY SMART NORA IS EFFECTIVE Smart Nora detects early sounds of snoring and gently moves your head by activating a silent pump that inflates and deflates the padded insert sitting under your pillow. This slight movement stimulates the relaxed throat muscles and as a result, the airway assumes its natural position, allowing you to breathe normally once again. This movement lasts about 1 minute each time, and during this time the device does not activate with sounds of snoring. HAVE QUESTIONS? WE’RE HERE TO HELP.

To experience best results, it is recommended

to use Smart Nora for at least two weeks. The majority of users experience a reduction in their snoring after seven consecutive nights of using Smart Nora. What our customers say: FIRST 2 WEEKS: WHAT TO EXPECT “He sleeps so soundly and quietly now. Really amazing change.” —Rebecca, New Hampshire “She never hears me snoring anymore, a first in 20 years of marriage!” —MIchael, New York Nights 1–3 You may feel Smart Nora’s slow movement a few times during the night. To fall asleep easily, start the night with Delayed Start mode so you have 30 minutes to fall asleep before Smart Nora starts working. (See page 17) Nights 4–7 Your body will adjust to the movements, and over time you will notice Smart Nora less and less. Nights 7+ Smart Nora will fade into the background and you might notice it occasionally. Nights 1–3 As your partner becomes accustomed to using Smart Nora, you will notice a reduction in intensity and frequency of their snoring. If your bedroom is extremely quiet, you might notice the faint sound of the pump. But this will soon fade into the background. Nights 3+ Your partner will be used to Smart Nora and you can both enjoy improved quality of sleep. FOR SNORER FOR PARTNER 16 SMART NORA USER MANUAL 16 15
