Frequently Asked Questions - CNHR RIO

How does the Rio CNHR epilator work?

The device uses micro-currents to make the pH of the hair follicle alkaline, thereby attacking the cells of the root and dermal papilla. After treatment, you remove the hair with the tweezers. Cellular destruction continues after extraction, preventing regrowth.

What precautions should I take before using the device?

Do not use the device if you have a pacemaker, heart problems, are pregnant, or on areas with moles, sunburns or scratches. Remove all piercings from the area to be treated. Avoid sensitive areas such as eyelids, inside the ears or nostrils.

How long does each treatment last?

Treatment time is adjustable via the dial from 1 to 8: from 5 to 30 seconds depending on hair thickness. For example, fine hair (lip): 5-15 seconds; medium hair (eyebrow): 15-25 seconds; coarse hair (bikini): 25-30 seconds.

What to do if the orange light does not come on?

Check that the tweezers are properly connected and that you have applied conductive gel. Grasp the hair close to the skin. If the problem persists, clean the tweezers with a damp cloth.

How to change the battery?

Open the compartment located under the control unit and replace the battery with a PP3, MN1604 or 6LR61 (9V) battery. If the battery is low, the device beeps every 5 seconds and the light flashes.

Can I use the device with a mains adapter?

Yes, an optional mains adapter can be plugged into the designated socket. To order, contact Rio customer service at [phone] or visit www.riobeauty.com.

How to clean the device?

Wipe the tweezers with a slightly damp cloth. You can also wipe the unit. Never immerse the unit or tweezers in water. To remove gel residues, clean the tweezers thoroughly.

Is it normal to have redness after treatment?

Yes, slight redness is normal and usually disappears within 1 to 2 hours. You can apply an antiseptic cream if necessary.

What to do if a hair is difficult to extract?

If the hair resists, wait 3 to 4 minutes before retreating with a longer treatment time. You can also use another hair removal method between treatments.

How many treatments are needed for permanent hair removal?

Several treatments may be needed to destroy all papilla cells. The hair may regrow finer and lighter. Successive treatments allow for a permanent result. You can epilate normally between sessions.

USER MANUAL CNHR RIO

Do not use if you have any of the following conditions:

RIO CUSTOMER CARE LINE

If you have any questions about your Rio Evolution, or if you experience any problems, please call the Rio Customer Care Line on 01242 702345.

Using micro current technology Rio Evolution destroys the hair root and papilla to prevent future hair growth. The micro current changes the pH in the hair follicle to alkaline which then attacks the hair root and papilla cells (it is these cells which are responsible for hair growth). This action continues for sometime after the treatment is complete and the hair has been removed.

It is not always possible to kill all of the papilla cells in a single treatment and in these situations the hair may regrow. If it does regrow it is generally much finer and lighter than previously. Successive treatments will kill the papilla cells giving a permanent result. You may use your normal epilation methods in between treatments.

BEFORE YOU START

Connect one end of the coiled cable to the tweezer (A) and the other end into the tweezer socket (H) on the console (as shown in the image opposite).

FITTING THE BATTERY

To fit the battery open the small compartment (J) on the underside of the console. Use only a PP3, MN1604 or 6LR6I battery.

Please Note: Some people may experience a slight redness when the hair has been removed. This is quite normal and will fade within an hour or two.

Before starting remove any make-up and clean the treatment area using soap and water.

I. Apply a small amount of conductive gel to the hairs which are to be treated OR put a blob of gel on the skin, into which you can dip the tweezers before taking hold of the individual hair.

1. Switch on the unit by turning the ON/OFF/Timer dial clockwise. The unit will bleep twice and the green power light will illuminate.

1. Set the timer dial to suit the type of hair being treated. The treatment time varies between five and thirty seconds depending on the setting.

Hair Type	Dial Setting	Treatment Time
Fine Hair, e.g. lip.	1 - 3	5 - 15 seconds
Medium Hair, e.g. eyebrow.	3 - 6	15 - 25 seconds
Thick Hair, e.g. bikini line.	6 - 8	25 - 30 seconds

1. Using the tweezers take hold of the hair at the point where it meets the skin. Only apply a gentle pressure on the tweezers, do NOT press the button fully (see point 6).

1. The amber treatment light will start flashing, indicating the treatment is in progress.

If the amber light does not come on, check the tweezers are plugged in and that you are making a good contact with the hair at the point where it meets the skin.

1. When the treatment is complete you will hear a short bleep and the green 'treatment complete indicator' will illuminate. The hair can now be removed by increasing the pressure on the tweezers to pluck the hair out of the hair follicle.

If contact with the hair is broken during treatment the amber treatment light will go out and the unit will bleep three times. If the contact is not re-established within three seconds the treatment timer will assume you have moved onto a fresh hair and will restart the treatment programme.

The destruction of the hair root cells continues for some time after the treatment has finished. It makes no difference whether you remove the hair immediately or not.

If there is a particular stubborn hair, an additional treatment or longer treatment time may be required.

As with all hair removal treatments it is recommended that the area you have treated is washed with cool water and a mild antiseptic cream applied.

PLEASE NOTE

If the unit has been turned on, but not used for three minutes it will bleep twice and the power light will flash twice every thirty seconds. This is to attract your attention to turn the unit off and save the battery life.

LOW BATTERY WARNING

'Low Battery' is indicated by bleeping intermittently every five seconds and the power light flashing.

POWER ADAPTER

Your Evolution may also be used with a power adapter (available separately as an optional extra). The power adapter simply plugs into the adapter socket on the side. (You can order the power adapter by phoning the Rio Customer Care Line on 01242 702345, using the order form enclosed or by visiting www.riobeauty.com).

• Do not immerse the console or tweezers in water.
• To enhance the lifetime of your tweezers keep them on the console unit and do not use them for any other purpose than intended.
• After use, wipe the tweezers clean with a slightly damp cloth, the console unit can also be wiped over.
• The tweezer can be removed from the console unit and used on their own as conventional tweezers.
