Do not take a tanning and/or relax session if you have a disease and/or use medication or cosmetics that increase the sensitivity of your
skin. Be extra careful if you are hypersensitive to UV light or IR light. Consult your doctor in case of doubt.
Do not use the tanning appliance and consult your doctor if unexpected effects such as itching occur within 48 hours after the rst
session.
Do not tan a particular part of your body more than once a day. Avoid excessive exposure to natural sunlight on the same day.
Consult your doctor if persistent lumps or sores appear on the skin, or if there are changes in pigmented moles.
The appliance is not to be used by people who get sunburnt without tanning when exposed to the sun, by persons who suffer from
sunburn, by children, or by persons who suffer (or have previously suffered) from skin cancer or who are predisposed to skin cancer.
Always wear the protective goggles provided with the appliance while tanning to protect your eyes from excessive doses of visible light,
UV light and IR light (also see chapter ‘Tanning and your health’).
Remove creams, lipstick and other cosmetics well in advance of a tanning session.
Do not use any sunscreens or suntan accelerators.
If your skin feels taut after the tanning session, you may apply a moisturising cream.
To acquire an even tan, lie down straight below the lamp unit.
Do not choose a tanning distance of less than 70cm.
Only move the appliance when it is in transport position.
Colours fade under the inuence of the sun. The same effect may occur when you use this appliance.
Do not expect the appliance to yield better results than the natural sun.

This Philips appliance complies with all standards regarding electromagnetic elds (EMF). If handled properly and in accordance with the
instructions in this user manual, the appliance is safe to use according to scientic evidence available today.
Tanning and your health
The sun supplies various types of energy. Visible light enables us to see, ultraviolet (UV) light gives us a tan and the infrared (IR) light in sunrays
provides the heat in which we like to bask.
Just as with natural sunlight, the tanning process takes some time. The rst effect only becomes visible after a few sessions (see section ‘Tanning
sessions: how often and how long?’).
Overexposure to ultraviolet light (natural sunlight or articial light from your tanning appliance) can cause sunburn.
Besides many other factors, such as overexposure to natural sunlight, incorrect and excessive use of a tanning appliance may increase the risk of
skin and eye problems. The degree to which these effects occur is determined by the nature, intensity and duration of the exposure on the one
hand and the sensitivity of the person involved on the other hand.
The more the skin and the eyes are exposed to UV light, the higher the risk of keratitis, conjunctivitis, damage to the retina, cataracts, premature
skin ageing and the development of skin tumours will be. Some medications and cosmetics increase the sensitivity of the skin.Therefore it is
highly important:
that you follow the instructions in chapter ‘Important’ and section ‘Tanning sessions: how often and how long?’.
that the tanning distance (distance between the UV lters and the body) is 70cm.
that you do not exceed the maximum number of tanning hours per year (i.e. 22 hours or 1320 minutes).
that you always wear the goggles provided while you are tanning.
Tanning sessions: how often and how long?
Do not take more than one tanning session a day, over a period of 5 to 10 days.
Take a break of at least 48 hours between the rst and the second session.
After this 5 to 10-day course, we advise you to stop tanning for a while.
Approximately one month after a course, your skin will have lost much of its tan. You can then start a new course.
If you want to keep your tan, do not stop tanning after the course, but continue with one or two tanning sessions a week.
Whether you choose to stop tanning for a while or whether you continue tanning on a lower frequency, always keep in mind that you
must not exceed the maximum number of tanning hours.
For this appliance, the maximum is 22 tanning hours (= 1320 minutes) a year.
Example
Suppose you take a 10-day tanning course, with a 9-minute session on the rst day and a 20-minute session on the nine following days.
The entire course then lasts (1 x 9 minutes) + (9 x 20 minutes) = 189 minutes.
This means you can take 6 of these courses in one year, as 6 x 189 minutes = 1134 minutes.
Of course, the maximum number of tanning hours applies to each separate part or side of the body that is tanned (e.g. the back or front of the
body).
Tip:For a beautiful all-over tan, turn your body slightly during the session so that the sides of your body are better exposed to the tanning light.
Tip:If your skin feels slightly taut after tanning, you can apply a moisturising cream.
Tip:If you use function
¼ (HB947/HB945 only), we advise you to extend the tanning sessions by approximately 5 minutes. This does not apply to the
rst tanning session, which must not last longer than 9 minutes.
Table
As the table shows, the rst session of a tanning course must always last 9 minutes, irrespective of the sensitivity of the skin.
If you think that the sessions are too long for you (e.g. because your skin feels taut and tender after the session), we advise you to reduce the
length of the sessions by e.g. 5 minutes.
