Congratulations and thank you for being a Pretika customer.
Before you start, please take a moment to get to know your
SonicDermabrasion® by carefully reading the Operating Instruc-
tions and Warranty Information included with your new product.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
1. Your SonicDermabrasion may show a “green” light when charged
for the 1st time (no “red” blinking light) – this is normal since each
product is fully checked before shipment. If you’re charging for the
1st time and the green light is on – still charge the device to get a
“full” charge before rst use.
2. IMPORTANT: Make sure waterproof silicone cover and base of
handle are dry before placing charging connector into handle for
charging. Insert silicone cap securely and tightly into place after
each charge.
3. The SonicDermbrasion has an automatic shut-off feature to
ensure use within the recommended treatment time.
It is our experience that if a product uses rechargeable batteries,
many of the problems thought to be product defects are simply
caused by not following the above charging instructions. To save
any unnecessary inconvenience and expense, we encourage you
to follow these steps.

Charging
Using the "lift tab" on the waterproof
silicone cover located on the base of
the SonicDermabrasion handle, lift and
open to insert connector into
opening and plug Charger Cord into
wall outlet– a red light will blink
indicating the SonicDermabrasion
is charging. When fully charged
indicator light will turn green. Once
charged, simply store the charging
adaptor and place the SonicDermabra-
sion into Countertop Stand. Do not use
the SonicDermabrasion while recharg-
ing batteries. Fully charged batteries
will provide approximately 2.5 hours of
use. It's time to recharge your SonicDermabrasion when the power
output is reduced. Keep Away From Water during charging.
IMPORTANT: Insert silicone cap securely and tightly into place
after each charge. Never use with silicone cap not secured
tightly into place. Never place in countertop stand without
silicone cap securely in place. Make sure waterproof cover and
base of handle are dry before placing charging connector into
