WARNING:
If you have been diagnosed by a physician as being allergic to the sun or are currently taking photo-
sensitive medications, consult your physician before using this product.
Children, persons with fair skin, elderly persons and persons who have a history of skin problems or believe
yourself especially sensitive to sunlight, should avoid using this product. If you do not tan in the sun you are
unlikely to tan from the use of this product.
Certain drugs - particularly those designed to enhance photosensitivity - may cause individuals under their
influence to experience adverse effects, and those people should avoid exposure to UV sources of all
kinds. Doctors will advise persons taking these drugs of possible adverse effects.
It is recommended that only one person at a time use the tanning system. Use protective eyewear while
tanning. One pair of protective eyewear is provided with each unit sold.
Occasionally, persons, using the tanning system will experience a slight reddening of the skin - usually in
small patches - after the second or third session. This redness is often accompanied by an itching sensation.
This is nothing more then a heat "rash" caused by heat from the lamps within the system. It is generally
very limited and caused by constant contact of the skin with the acrylic surface. It will go away within
approximately 24 hours and should not reappear. This rash can be lessened or prevented by turning over
occasionally during sessions in the unit, and by applying moisturizing lotion to the affected area after the
tanning session is complete.
CAUTION
WHILE THERE IS NO IMMEDIATE CLINICAL EVIDENCE REGARDING UVA EXPOSURE AND ITS
EFFECTS UPON EXPECTANT MOTHERS, IT IS STRONGLY ADVISED THAT EXPECTANT MOTHERS
BE DISCOURAGED FROM USING THIS PRODUCT.
EXPOSURE TIMES AND FREQUENCIES
Melanin, the brownish pigment produced by special cells in the base layers of the skin determines the
individuals ability to tan. As the skin is exposed to ultraviolet rays, the melanin is activated and combines
with protein cells that rise to the skin's surface, thus producing a tan. The amount of melanin in your body
determines how quickly and darkly you can tan.
NOTE
THE TAN PRODUCED BY THE UNIT IS A DEEP, RICH "COSMETIC" TAN. HOWEVER, REGARDLESS
OF HOW MUCH AN INDIVIDUAL MAY TAN WITH THIS UNIT, IT WILL NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE
PROTECTION AGAINST OVER-EXPOSURE TO NATURAL SUNLIGHT OR UVB TANNING SYSTEMS.
