Philips HB541/01 Operating Instructions Manual page 6

For solarium types HB 542 and HB 544 (with 10 large
tube lamps) only:
UV sessions: how often? And how long?
You may have one UV session per day, over a period of
five to ten days. Allow at least 48 hours between the first
two sessions.
After such a course, you may rest the skin for a while.
Approximately one month after a course your skin will have
lost much of the tan. You might then decide to start a new
course.
On the other hand, it is also possible to have one or two
UV sessions per week after a course has elapsed in order
to keep up the tan.
Whatever you may prefer, make sure that you do not
exceed the maximum amount of tanning hours per year.
• For these solarium types HB 542 and HB 544 (with
10 large tube lamps) this is 28 hours (= 1680
minutes).

- for persons with
very sensitive skin:
- for persons with
normal sensitive skin:
- for persons with
less sensitive skin:
• If you think that the sessions are too long for you
(e.g. if the skin gets taut and tender after the
session), we advise you to reduce the sessions by
e.g. 5 minutes per side of the body.

Example:
Imagine that you take a 10 day UV course, with a
10 minute session on the first day and 30 minutes'
sessions on the nine following days.
The entire course then includes (1 x 10 minutes) +
(9 x 30 minutes) = 280 minutes.
• When using solarium type HB 542 or HB 544 (with
10 large tube lamps), you may have 6 of these
courses over a year. (As 6 x 280 minutes = 1680
minutes.)
Of course, this maximum amount of tanning hours is valid
for each treated part or side of the body separately.
(E.g. for the front side of your body and for the other side.)
From the table it will be seen that the first session of a
course should have a duration of 10 minutes.
This is not dependent upon individual skin sensitivity.

• 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.
