• Non-user, especially children, should not be present when the appliance is in use.
  UV appliance should not be used by:
  People under 18
  People whit natural red hair colour
  People with atypically decolorized skin areas
  People who have more than 16 moles (2 mm diameter or bigger) on their body
  People who have atypical moles (atypical moles are described as asymmetric moles with a diameter that is bigger than 5 mm with different pigmentation and irregular borders)
  People who suffer from sunburn
  People who cannot tan at all or who cannot tan without getting sunburn when they are exposed to the sun
  People who sunburn easily when they are exposed to the sun
  People who have had a history of repeated, heavy sunburns during childhood
  People who suffer or suffered from skin cancer or who are predisposed to it
  People whose relatives of the first degree have had black skin cancer (melanoma)
  People who are in medical treatment because of suffering that comes along with photosensitivity
  People who get photosensitizing medication

• The exposures should not exceed the personal minimal erythemal dose (MED), i.e. the minimal UV dose that causes perceptible reddening of the skin. If an erythema (reddening of the skin) occurs hours after an exposure, no further exposures should take place. After a week the exposures can be taken up again starting from the beginning of the exposure plan.

• If unexpected effects occur, such as itching within 48h after the first exposure, ask your doctor for advice before further exposures

• Ultraviolet radiation of the sun or frim artificial light sources can cause skin or eye damage. The biological effect depends on the type and amount of irradiation and on the sensitivity of the skin exposed to it.
• Excessive irradiation can cause sunburn. Overly frequent exposure to ultraviolet radiation of the sun or an artificial light source can lead to early ageing of the skin and increased risk of skin tumors. These risks increase according to the accumulated UV radiation. Exposure at a young age increases the skin damage later in life.
• The surface of the unprotected eye can be inflamed and in certain cases excessive exposure to radiation can cause retinal damage. Cataract can be the consequence of many repeated irradiation exposures.
• In case of pronounced individual sensitivity or allergic reactions to ultraviolet radiation, ask your doctor for advice before the start of the exposure.
• The following precautionary measures must be respected:
  Always use the supplied safety goggles, contact lenses and sunglasses are no surrogate for the safety goggles
  o Remove cosmetics before exposure and do not use any sun protecting agents or self-tanning
  Certain medical conditions or side effects of medication can be heightened because of ultraviolet radiation. In case of doubt, consult your doctor.
  o Let an interval of at least 48 hours between the first two exposures
  。When using the appliance, do not sunbath the same day
  Follow the recommended exposure time, exposure intervals and keep the recommended distance to the tubes
  Consult your doctor if your skin starts swelling, wounds or pigmented spots appear

Sensitive skin areas such as scars, tattoos and private parts need to be protected before

What you should know about skin tanning

The sun

The sun is the source of life on earth. Everyone knows from the change of seasons and personal experience during vacations that the light and heat of the sun affect our health and well-being in general. If your skin in bronzed, you look more attractive and healthy and feel better. Skin tan also had a biological function in that it protects your skin from sunburn, e.g. before you go on a sun vacation.

Tanning

The tanning is caused by a certain part of light spectrum. Tanning does not depend on whether the light is natural sunlight or artificial light.

The radiation of the sun contains a visible portion, which we perceive as light and an invisible portion, which we perceive, for example, as heal. The light also contains radiation that makes the skin turn red or even burns it. Radiation that gives the skin a tan is invisible radiation, ultraviolet (UV) radiation consisting of UVA, UVB and UVC radiation. Intensive UVA radiation with a very low proportion of UVB and no UVA are required for a optimal tan. UVC rays from the sun are far away from the Earth's atmosphere, while UVB and UVA rays can brown the skin. However, the relatively high UVB content of solar radiation very quickly causes excessive irritation, redness and sunburn on pale skin.

The UVA tanning system

It has better proportions of UVA and UVB radiation than natural light. The intensity of the tanning UVA radiation is much higher than in the sunshine, and at the same time the harmful UVB content is reduced to a fraction of the sun's share. In comparison to the natural sun, you usually become faster and without sunburn. The achievable skin tone is similar to the natural tan.

The reaction of the skin to sunbeams is different for each individual.

Skin type and exposure time

We all know how our skin responds when it is exposed to direct sunlight. A similar reaction can be expected from exposure to artificial light. Those whose skin can stand much sunlight will bronze quickly; those whose skin is not tanned by the sun will not profit much from the UVA tanning system.

Skin type by reaction of the unexposed skin to natural sunlight

Skin Type	Skin reaction and ethnic affiliation
I	Always gets sunburn quickly, hardly any or only little tan, even after repeated exposure (Celtic type)
II	Gets sunburn almost always; moderate tan after repeated exposures (fair-skinned, European type)
III	Gets sunburn moderately often; progressing tanning after repeated exposures (dark-skinned, European type)
IV	Gets sunburn rarely; quick and strong tan (Mediterranean type)

The use of at tanning system is only recommended to persons fitting the description of skin type II, III, IV. Skin-type I persons are unable to develop a normal tan either from the sun or exposure to artificial light.

The following exposure sequences are recommended for the various skin types.
