Ultraviolet radiation. Follow instructions. Avoid overexposure. As with natural sunlight, overexposure can cause

eye and skin injury and allergic reactions. Repeated exposure may cause premature aging of the skin and skin
cancer. WEAR PROTECTIVE EYEWEAR; FAILURE TO MAY RESULT IN SEVERE BURNS OR LONGTERM INJURY TO THE EYES.
Medications or cosmetics may increase your sensitivity to the ultraviolet radiation. Consult physician before using sunlamp if you are
using medications or have a history of skin problems or believe yourself especially sensitive to sunlight. If you do not tan in the sun, you
are unlikely to tan from the use of this product. Children, the elderly, or fair skinned people who always burn easily and either never tan
or tan minimally should not use this equipment.

To use, lie down under canopy and pull down as far as adjustment will allow maintaining at least 3 inches (7.6 centimeters) between your
body and canopy clear plastic panel, otherwise overexposure may occur. Minimum use distance elsewhere is touching the clear plastic
panels. Do not use without clear plastic panels in place. Untanned persons should not tan on consecutive days during their first week of
tanning. Never tan more than once a day. Tanning normally appears after the first few sessions and maximizes after approximately four
weeks. Tan once or twice per week thereafter to maintain appearance. Persons already having a base tan may begin at advanced lev­els corresponding to the extent of their base tan.

New lamps emit approximately 10% more ultraviolet radiation during the first 50 hours of operation. Recommended tanning times should
therefore be reduced by approximately 10% during that period.

WARNING: • Read the instructions booklet before using this sunlamp product. • All persons in the room should wear protective eyewear
when lamps are on. Recommended eyewear: provided eyeshields or equivalent eyewear as defined under 21 CFR 1040.20. Other types
of eyewear may not provide adequate protection. Failure to use protective eyewear may result in severe burns or other eye injury. If dis­comfort develops, discontinue use and consult a physician.

Rayonnement ultraviolet. Veuillez suivre les instructions. Évitez une exposition excessive. Tout comme pour les

rayons du soleil, une exposition excessive peut causer des blessures aux yeux et à la peau et provoquer des réac­tions allergiques. Une exposition répétée peut causer le vieillissement prématuré de la peau et provoquer le cancer de la peau. PORTEZ
DES LUNETTES PROTECTRICES: LE NON-RESPECT DE CETTE CONSIGNE DE SÉCURITÉ PEUT ENTRAÎNER DE GRAVES
BRÛLURES OU DES LÉSIONS OCULAIRES À LONG TERME. Les médicaments ou les produits cosmétiques peuvent augmenter votre
sensibilité au rayonnement ultraviolet. Consultez un médecin avant d’utiliser la lampe solaire si vous prenez des médicaments, si vous
souffrez d’une maladie cutanée ou si vous croyez être particulièrement sensible aux rayons du soleil. Si vous ne bronzez pas au soleil, il
est peu probable que vous bronzerez sous une lampe solaire. Les enfants, les personnes âgées et les personnes qui ont une peau claire
qui brûle facilement, ne bronze jamais ou alors très peu, ne devraient pas utiliser cette lampe.

Étendez-vous sous la partie supérieure, puis abaissez celle-ci aussi bas que possible, en veillant cependant à conserver un espace
d’au moins 3 pouces (7,60 centimètres) entre le corps et le panneau de plastique transparent de la partie supérieure, afin d’éviter
une exposition excessive. Les autres parties du corps peuvent toucher les panneaux de plastique transparents. N’utilisez pas la
lampe sans les panneaux de plastique transparents. La première semaine de bronzage, les personnes qui n’ont pas un hâle initial
ne doivent pas se faire bronzer tous les jours. Ne vous faites jamais bronzer plus d’une fois par jour. Le bronzage commence nor­malement à apparaître après les premières séances : il atteint son apogée au bout d’environ quatre semaines. Les personnes qui
ont déjà un teint hâlé peuvent commencer à des niveaux plus élevés, selon l’importance de leur hâle initial.

Les lampes neuves émettent approximativement 10 % de plus de rayons ultraviolets au cours des 50 premières heures de fonction­nement. Le temps de bronzage doit donc êatre réduit d’environ 10 % pendant cette période.

AVERTISSEMENT : • Lisez le livret d’instructions avant d’utiliser cette lampe solaire. • Les autres personnes présentes dans la pièce
doivent aussi porter des lunettes protectrices lorsque les lampes sont allumées. Coquilles de protection pour les yeux recommandées: Les
coquilles de protection fournies ou l’équivalent, tel que le stipule le document 21 CFR 1040.20. Les autres types de lunettes protectrices
peuvent ne pas assurer une protection adéquate. Utilisé sans lunettes protectrices, ce produit peut causer des brûlures ou lésions oculaires
graves. Si vous souffrez d’un malaise, arrêtez l’utilisation et consultez un médecin.

a helper, grasp the canopy and pull it from
the carton bottom, leaving the plastic
wrap and the carton packaging. Do the
same for the bench. Do not attempt to lift

either unit with the plastic still on as it
may slip. Do not lift the canopy by its
plastic endcaps. The ballast tray is secured

to the carton bottom with brackets.
Remove these brackets from the ballast
tray with a Phillips screwdriver.

Note! The cartons are reusable. You may
wish to save them for future use.

and bench, to make sure they are free
from any visible damage. Report the

Installation - Pre-Installation Planning

Pre-Installation Planning

Before you begin to assemble your sunbed, you should observe the following consid­erations.

• The SOLARIS® 542 operates from a
220V AC power source. The unit
should be wired to a dedicated cir­cuit capable of providing 50 Amp
service. This unit must be hardwired
directly to a junction box. We rec

-

ommend connection by a profes

-

sional electrician.

• This sunbed arrives with a ballast
tray stop bar installed to limit tray
movement (see below). To remove,
lift the bar, shift it to the left or right
and then pull it from the bed. After
the bed is assembled, reinstall the
bar to keep the tray from damaging
the access panel if the bed is moved.

WARNING

Shock hazard.

Disconnect power before
servicing.

Air from the room is used to cool the sunbed.
Maximum ambient room temperature should
be 80°F. Place your sunbed no closer than 6”
from any wall. Make sure nothing obstructs
the airflow into the sunbed’s endcaps or out
of the fan openings. A poorly ventilated room
may cause the unit to become hot and cause
discomfort to the user.

CAUTION

Use of a voltage source above 230V AC may
prevent proper operation of the sunbed and
could cause damage and void the warranty.
A buck booster transformer may be required
to alter voltage.

CAUTION

Proper assembly of your sunbed requires
three people. Plan to have a couple of
helpers assist you.
