1. Unbox Your MOON:
   
   Carefully remove your MOON object from the packaging. Ensure all components are present: the MOON object, the recycled acrylic foot, and have your phone closeby.
     
2. Download the App:
   
   For Android: Download from Google Play
   For iOS: Download from the App Store
     
3. Power Up & Connect:
   
   Plug in your MOON and connect it to a power source. The object will automatically turn on.
    
4. Connecting the App:
   
   Open the app on your phone and ensure Bluetooth is enabled. The app will search for nearby MOON devices. Get within 1 meter of the object. Select your MOON when it appears in the list.
    
5. Choose Your Mode:
   
   Select REAL Mode, it will display the actual phase of the moon, if it is over the horizon at your location in that moment.
   

• Adjust the Brightness:
  
  You can adjust the brightness of your MOON for both day and night. Set the daytime brightness (0-10) and nighttime brightness (0-10).
  
  Additionally, you can define when day and night begin. This ensures automatic adjustment based on your preferred schedule. Increase brightness for bright environments, and reduce it at night or in low light for a softer glow.
    
• Light it up anytime:
  
  In FAKE Mode, you have the flexibility to manually adjust the moon’s phase and angle, you can even play a demo.
    
• Turn it off anytime:
  
  In FAKE Mode, you can turn the brightness to zero to effectively turn off the MOON.
  
  Pro tip: you can also use brightness as a timer: if day time starts at 9 AM and night_time begins at 11 PM, setting the night brightness to zero will act as an automatic timer, turning it off at night.
   
• Unplugging MOON:
  
  Unplugging MOON is not the preferred method for turning it off. Whenever MOON is unplugged and then reconnected, it will always default to REAL Mode and display the moon phase based on its position.
  
  If unplugged and reconnected within 2 weeks, MOON will remember the location and time settings, so no reconfiguration is needed. Else, it will forget the location and time, requiring you to set them again.

Three Surprising Effects:

• Visible/Invisible Phases
  
  MOON only lights up when the moon is visible — or above the horizon — at your location and time. The moon isn’t just a nighttime phenomena. In fact, the moon is visible during the day about 50% of the time. Once you own a MOON you'll start experiencing that the moon rises 50 minutes later each day on average.
   
  
• lluminated Percentage of the Moon
  
  Experience the exact illumination of the moon as it waxes and wanes over the course of a 29.5-day lunar cycle. From a New Moon (0% illumination) to a Full Moon (100% illumination) and back again, MOON replicates the phases in real time, providing an accurate, dynamic representation of the moon’s cycle.
   
  
• Angle of Illuminated Fraction
  
  The angle of the illuminated part of the moon changes based on the direction of sunlight, which can come from the left, right, top, or bottom, depending on the moon's and sun's location. Additionally, the angle will vary based on your location on Earth. In the Southern Hemisphere, you'll see the moon flipped upside down compared to the Northern Hemisphere.
   
  

Our Recommendations:

Use REAL Mode to enjoy the authentic lunar cycle and place MOON anywhere—its phase will automatically adjust over time. Choose a soft brightness, choose any room except your sleeping room. Tilt it in any way you prefer. Enjoy, find peace.
