MAXIMUM EXPOSURE TIME IS 10 MINUTES 

ALLOW 48 HOURS BETWEEN TANNING SESSIONS!

10 Minute Mechanical Timer Instructions 

Standup Models are equipped with mechanical timers.   

To begin tanning, refer to the recommended exposure time chart above 

Step 1.  If using indoor tanning lotion, apply before turning on the system. 

Step 2.  Put on goggles. 

Step 3.  Turn timer clockwise to desired time.  Timer will not allow more than 10 minutes. 

Step 4.  Stand no closer than two inches from the lamps.  

When the timer reaches 0, the lamps will automatically shut off.

Do not turn the timer counter clock backwards.  This will damage the timer.   

Automatic Shut-off Timer 

Your tanning system is equipped with a backup shut-off timer which will automatically turn off the tanning 

system after 10 minutes.  This important safety feature prevents the user from resetting the timer before the 

end of the pre-set maximum time interval. 

Caring For and Maintaining Your Tanning System 

THE TANNING SYSTEM SHOULD BE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AND 

UNPLUGGED FROM POWER SOURCE AT LEAST TWO (2) FULL HOURS 

BEFORE ANY CLEANING OR MAINTENANCE TO ALLOW THE TANNING 

SYSTEM TO ADEQUATELY COOL DOWN!!!!
