ETS Sunquest 16RS User manual

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 panel and wire grill 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:
ISensitive 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.

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

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. Wipe the canopy grill with a soft cloth slightly damp-
ened with disinfectant, then wipe dry.
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.
1Remove the acrylic shield, metal grill and lamps.
2With a soft cloth, wipe the entire length of each lamp.
3Clean both sides of the acrylic shield and grill with a non-ammo-
nia disinfectant cleaner.
4Wipe the reflectors with a clean damp cloth.
5Re-install the lamps, acrylic shield and grill.
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 Shield (bench)
The acrylic shield in the bench and metal grill in the canopy 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.
Removing/Replacing Canopy Grill
Follow the above directions for opening the hinged profiles. As you
pry the hinged profile open the canopy grill should start to drop out
on its own. If you need to, slide the grill toward the head or foot end
of the sunbed and it will drop out easily.
After changing the lamps, replace the bench acrylic shield and canopy
grill 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!

edly press the timer button (B) to decrease the remaining time.
2Lift the canopy, lie down on the bench (face up), lower the canopy
as close to your body as possible.
3When the timer reaches “0” the lamps turn off. If you want to stop
your session before time expires, press the stop button (C).

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 prod-
ucts 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 gog-
gles, 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.

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. We
recommend using the lamps specified below. Use of uncertified lamps
is a violation of Federal regulations and may void your warranty.
1Grasp 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.
2To 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.
The following lamps have been certified for use in the 16RS:

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
