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. 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.
Skin Type:
I Sensitive Skin (Burns easily and severely and does not tan.)
II Light Skin (Burns easily and severely and tans minimally.)
III Normal Skin (Burns moderately and tans average.)
IV Dark Skin (Burns minimally, tans easily and above average.)
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.

Thorough Periodic Cleaning
The cooling fans draw air through the bed and will cause a dust
buildup on the lamps and reflectors. When a dust buildup is observed,
it is necessary to thoroughly clean the inside of the bench and canopy.
1 Remove the acrylic shields and lamps.
2 With a soft cloth, wipe the entire length of each lamp.
3 Clean both sides of the acrylic shields with a non-ammonia dis-
infectant cleaner.
4 Wipe the reflectors with a clean damp cloth.
5 Re-install the lamps and acrylic shields.
Mechanical Inspection
Inspect the unit’s mechanical integrity every 400-500 hours of use.
• Inspect the unit’s fasteners verifying that all are firmly in place.
Pay particular attention to the hinge bolts.
• Inspect gas springs for signs of wear. Replace gas springs that will
not hold the canopy in the full open position when raised.
• Inspect the AC power cord and its connections.
• Inspect the acrylic. Replace if broken, cracked or badly scratched.
Removing/Replacing Acrylic Shields
The acrylic shields are secured in place by hinged profiles which run
the length of the bed, both front and back. Simply pry up on the inside
edge of the profile until it releases its latching action (see figure
below). Continue to pry up the profile across its entire length until it
swings back freely. Repeat for the other profile. The long edges of the
acrylic shield are now exposed. Standing in front of the sunbed, grasp
the long exposed edge of the acrylic and carefully slide it toward you
until it is removed.
After changing the lamps, replace the acrylic shields by reversing the
above directions. Close the hinged profile by pushing it back into
place until it snaps tight.
PROFILE
CAUTION
Be careful. The edges of the
acrylic shield may be sharp.
Start pulling from the
middle of the profile!

Operation
1 Set the timer to the desired number of
minutes (after first determining the proper
time period from the table above). The
lamps will turn on as soon as you turn the
dial from the “0” position.
2 Lift the canopy, lie down on the bench
(face up), and lower the canopy toward
your body. For best results, position the
canopy as close as possible to your body.
3 When the timer reaches 0, the lamps automatically turn off.
Using Your Sunbed
Before using your sunbed, please note the following:
• Your skin should be free of cosmetics, tanning oils, or other body
lotions prior to tanning except for those specifically made for use
with tanning devices. However, do not remove natural body oils by
bathing or showering immediately before tanning.
• Keep treated hair from contacting sunbed surfaces. Many hair products can damage the sunbed acrylic. Wear a shower cap or towel if
you use gels, mousses, sprays, or other hair products.
• Your sunbed is designed for individual use. Always wear the safety
goggles supplied with your sunbed or another approved pair of goggles, as defined under 21 CFR 1040.20. Regular sunglasses do not
provide adequate protection from ultraviolet light.
Exposure Times
Follow the guidelines for skin type and exposure times as shown in the
table below. 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.
Skin Type:
I Sensitive Skin (Burns easily and severely and does not tan.)
II Light Skin (Burns easily and severely and tans minimally.)
III Normal Skin (Burns moderately and tans average.)
IV Dark Skin (Burns minimally, tans easily and above average.)
Replacing Lamps
To be assured of maximum tanning effectiveness, change lamps after
approximately 800-1000 hours of use. Tanning will continue after this
time but at a slower rate. To ensure trouble-free operation of your
sunbed, replace the lamp starters whenever the lamps are replaced.
Use of uncertified lamps is a violation of Federal regulations and may
void your warranty (see certified lamps on first page).
1 Grasp a lamp at one end and at the middle, then turn the lamp a
quarter turn. The lamp may then be gently removed from its holder.
2 To reinstall lamp, insert pins on the ends of the lamp into the slots
on top of the lamp holder and turn the lamp a quarter turn.
Care and Maintenance
Cleaning After Use
Clean and disinfect your tanning bed’s bench and canopy after each
use. Use a non-abrasive disinfectant cleaner that does not contain
ammonia or ammonia derivatives. Ammonia may damage the acrylic
shield. Spray the acrylic lightly with disinfectant and wipe dry with a
clean soft cloth.

Problem
Troubleshooting
Solution
Sunbed not tanning
1. Clean sunbed, see Thorough Periodic Cleaning.
2. Replace lamps if lamp hours are greater than 800hrs.
3. Replace acrylic.
Lamps fail to light
1. Check source of AC power. Reset circuit breaker or replace
fuse if necessary.
2. Make sure the unit is plugged into outlet.
3. Make sure canopy to bench cord is properly connected.
4. Make sure timer dial is turned to a number past 0.
One or more lamps fail to light
1. Check that lamp is installed correctly.
2. Switch unlit lamp with a lamp that lights. If the new lamp
lights and the old lamp still does not, replace old lamp.
The canopy will not stay up
NOTE: Gas springs are manufactured to hold the canopy in its
fully open position as well as allow it to rest fully closed. If
left open for an extended period of time some creep down
may occur. This is considered normal. Keep the unit closed
when not in use. If the canopy will not stay fully open when
raised...
1. Raise and lower the canopy a few times to lubricate gas
spring internal seals.
2. Replace gas springs.
Sunbed does not stay lit
1. Check source of AC power. Reset circuit breaker or replace
fuse if necessary.
2. Check timer system (see Timer Maintenance). Contact your
service representative.
Timer Maintenance
Your sunbed is equipped with a backup shut-off timer which automatically turns off the sunbed if the primary timer ever malfunctions. This
important safety feature also prevents the user from resetting the timer
before the end of the pre-set maximum time interval. The electronic
timer limiting circuit automatically resets each time the primary timer
is turned to the OFF position.
Annually, or whenever your sunbed is re-lamped, check the operation
and accuracy of the timer system as follows.
1 Obtain an accurate watch capable of measuring in seconds. Set
the timer to the maximum time. Time how long the lamps remain
on. The lamps should shut off within plus or minus 10% of the
maximum timer interval.
2 Set the timer to the maximum time. Wait ten minutes, then turn
the knob back to the maximum time position. The electronic time
limiting circuit should turn the lamps off at an elapsed time equal
to approximately 10% beyond the maximum timer interval, even
though the primary timer continues to show time left.
Contact your place of purchase if your timer does not operate properly, or if you experience difficulty with these tests.
CAUTION
Do not perform these tests with a person in the sunbed.
Doing so may lead to overexposure which can cause
eye and skin injury and allergic reactions.
