, The 'ready to flash' light on the back of the appliance lights up green
when all contact switches of the safety ring are in contact with the
skin and the device is charged. This may take a few seconds.
Tip: For easier use, stretch the area of skin you want to treat. On areas with
softer skin, you may need to exert more pressure on the appliance to push in
all contact switches.
7 Press the flash button to release a flash. Now you have 2 options to
release the next flash:
A Keep the flash button pressed. The appliance releases one flash
after another as long as the safety ring is in full contact with the skin.
Immediately after the appliance has flashed, slide the appliance to the
next area. Make sure the safety ring is fully pressed onto the skin.
This 'Slide & Flash mode' is especially convenient for treatment of larger
areas like the legs.
B Let go of the flash button after each flash. For the next flash, place the
appliance on the area right next to the previously flashed area. Make
sure the safety ring is fully pressed onto the skin.
This 'Step & Flash mode' guarantees a precise treatment of e.g. the knees
or ankles.
Note: After a few seconds, the appliance is ready to flash again, so make sure
that you move it to the next area immediately after it has flashed.
Do not treat exactly the same area multiple times during one session.
This does not improve the effectiveness of the treatment, but increases
the risk of skin reactions.
Note: The visible light produced by the appliance is the reflection of the flash
on the skin and is harmless to your eyes. It is not necessary to wear goggles
during use.
8 To avoid untreated areas, always make sure there is a slight overlap
with the previously treated area when you place the appliance on the
skin. The effective light only comes out of the light exit window. Make
sure the flashes are produced close to each other.
9 Switch off the appliance after you have finished the treatment.
10 Check the light exit window and the attachment for hairs and
dirt and clean the appliance after use (see chapter 'Cleaning and
maintenance').
