Philips HB871, Manual

Page: 6 / 110

Introduction
The sun
The sun supplies various types of energy.Visible light enables us to see,
ultraviolet (UV) gives us a tan and infrared (IR) in sunrays provides the heat
in which we like to bask.
The solarium
With this solarium you can suntan comfortably at home.The tanning lamps
emit visible light, heat and ultraviolet, giving you the impression you are
sunbathing in real sunlight.The special UV filter only passes the radiation that
is required to get a tan.
The tanning lamps emit sufficient infrared to provide comfortable warmth.
Type HB875 only: besides a tanning session, you can take a relax session by
just switching on the special infrared lamps.
A timer ensures that each session does not last longer than 30 minutes. Just
as with natural sunlight, overexposure must be avoided (see section 'UV,
tanning and your health' and 'IR, relaxation and your health').
