Skin Tone Sensor; Selecting The Light Intensity - Philips Lumea SC1994 Manual

Bikini attachment (SC1998, SC1999)

Skin tone sensor

Selecting the light intensity

The bikini attachment is designed for effective treatment of the bikini area.
Hair in this area tends to be thicker and stronger than leg hair.
Lumea has an integrated skin tone sensor which measures the skin tone at
the start of each session and during the session.
The skin tone sensor prevents you to treat areas of your skin that are too
dark. If it detects a skin tone that is too dark for treatment with Lumea, the
'READY to flash' light starts blinking orange. It does not flash when you press
the flash button. The device automatically disables. This prevents you from
developing skin reactions.
Lumea provides 5 different light intensities, you will always be able to
change to a light intensity setting you find comfortable.
1 Press the on/off button to turn on the device and select the desired light
intensity.
2 To adjust the light intensity setting, use the on/off button until you have
reached the required setting.
Skin sensitivity can differ per person. Therefore, the skin test is the most
important guide for selecting your light intensity setting (see 'B Test skin
24 hrs before treatment').
3 Using Lumea should never be painful. If you experience discomfort,
reduce the light intensity setting.
Note: The device is automatically disabled when your skin tone is too
dark (brownish black or darker), to prevent you from developing skin
reactions. The 'READY to flash' light will blink orange to indicate if the skin
tone is too dark.
4 After moving to another body area or after recent tanning (see 'Using
your Lumea before and after tanning'), perform a skin test to determine
the most comfortable light intensity setting. To re-activate the setting
indication feature, turn on the device.
Note: Since body areas might differ in skin color, you need to select the
most comfortable setting for each body area separately.
