Beside numerous other factors, such as excessive exposure to the natural sun, improper and excessive use of your solarium will increase the risk of skin and eye disease. The nature, intensity and duration of the radiation on one hand, and the sensitivity of the individual on the other, are decisive on the degree in which these affects can occur. The more the skin and eyes are exposed to UV, the more risk increases of diseases such as inflammation of the cornea and/or conjunctiva, damaging of the retina, cataract, premature aging of the skin and skin tumours. certain medicines and cosmetics increase the sensitivity to UV. Therefore, it is of great importance - that you follow the instructions in sections "Important" and "UV sessions: how often?"; - that you observe the advised operational distance of 65 cm (approx. 26"); - that you do not exceed the maximum amount of tanning hours per year (i. 21 hours or 1260 minutes); - that you always wear the provided goggles while tanning. Example: Imagine that you take a 10 day UV course, with a 8 minute session on the first day and 20 minutes' sessions on the nine following days. The entire course then includes (1 x 8 minutes) + (9 x 20 minutes) = 188 minutes. Over a year you may have six of these courses. ) Of course, this maximum amount of tanning hours is valid for each treated part or side of the body separately. For the front side of your body and for the back side. ) From the table it will be seen that the first session of a course should have a duration of 8 minutes. This is not dependent upon individual skin sensitivity. Duration of the UV session (for each separately treated part of the body) in minutes - for persons with very sensitive skin: - for persons with normal sensitive skin: - for persons with less sensitive skin: *) or longer, dependent upon skin sensitivity. ⷠIf you think that the sessions are too long for you (e. If the skin gets taut and tender after the session), we advise you to reduce the sessions by say 5 minutes per side of the body. 5 · To get a beautiful all-over tan it is suggested that you turn slightly during the session so that the sides of your body are better exposed to the tanning rays. 1, page 3) A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q Wheels Mains cord in storage compartment Handgrip Timer Memo's (for two persons) Slides Stand Locking for height adjustment (to unlock: slide collar downwards) Locking for upper casing (to unlock: press the two lips downwards) Handgrip Fan (cooling) Upper casing UV filter glass Sun lamps (type Philips HPA 400 - 500) Reflector Tape measure Protective goggles (2x) You will hear clicks when passing the various fixed positions.
