PROBLEM SOLUTION

The lights on the SmoothSkin control panel are not lit up

Make sure the power supply is plugged in.

Ensure that the power cord to the SmoothSkin base unit is plugged in correctly.

SmoothSkin doesn’t work on small areas

For safety reasons, both contact bars on the Treatment Window must make positive contact with the skin. If the area of the skin to be treated is too small for this, SmoothSkin will not emit a pulse of light.

Try and reposition the handset to ensure both bars make contact with gel on the treatment area.

The SmoothSkin base unit or handset is broken, cracked or appears defective.

DO NOT USE if the base unit, handset, connecting cable or the power supply is damaged. If you are in any doubt about the safety of SmoothSkin or suspect it is damaged in any way, it must not be used.

The red light on the Skin Tone Sensor has come on or is flashing and SmoothSkin won’t respond.

SmoothSkin has gone into STANDBY or SLEEP mode. To reactivate, take another valid skin tone reading as described on pages 14-16 of this user guide.

The lights on the SmoothSkin control panel are on or are flashing in an unfamiliar pattern.

SmoothSkin will display any error messages through combinations of lights on the control panel. The table on the next page explains what these light combinations mean.
