using skin tone detection
1. To begin skin tone detection, simultaneously press down both energy level selection buttons
(+ and -) for 2 seconds.
2. Skin tone detection is active when the individual energy indicator LEDs light up in sequence from
left to right.
3. Now place the light area of the cartridge on the desired test area and make sure it is in full contact
with the skin.
Note
For your safety, always select the darkest area of skin (e.g. the outer side of the lower leg, back of
the hand on the arm)
Important: Before using on another part of the body, you must take another measurement.
4. Press the trigger button to begin skin tone detection. Skin tone detection can take 1 – 2 seconds.
Note
The device does not trigger any light pulses in skin tone detection mode.
5. If the skin tone measurement is successful, the suitable energy level for your skin tone appears on
the energy indicator lamp. The LEDs of the displayed energy level remain permanently lit.
6. If the energy indicator lamp lights up from left to right as before, skin tone detection was unsuc-
cessful.
7. Check the indicator lamp on the applicator. If the indicator lamp is orange, there was not enough
contact with the skin to take a measurement. If the indicator lamp is red, your skin is either too dark
or the skin tone cannot be detected.
8. If this is the case, press the trigger button again to repeat the measurement.
Note
If you want to cancel skin tone detection, press one of the energy level selection buttons (+ or -)
again to return to normal mode.
9. If skin tone detection was successful, check the result of the measurement by comparing it with the
skin and hair colour table.
10. If the value measured differs from the skin and hair colour table, you should always use the lower
energy level.
11. You can increase and decrease the energy level at any time by pressing the + and - buttons.
If you notice slight or no irritation during and after the first hair removal treatment while using the rec-
ommended energy level, you may increase the energy level by 1 in subsequent treatments.
WARNING
Do not increase the energy level if you experience an abnormal amount of pain during or after the
treatment using the beurer SalonPro System! (See “Step 6 Familiarise yourself with the possible side-
effects”)
Do not increase the energy level during the hair removal session, even if you do not notice any dis-
comfort.
Irritation can occur some time after the treatment itself.
