Please note the safety precautions at the
beginning of this user manual. The MINOX
SUNTIMER™ measures the proportionate ultra-
violet radiation (UV radiation) of the sun and in
addition provides useful information about the
intensity of the UV radiation. In conformity with
the safety precautions of the ministry of radiation
protection and research this instrument calculates
the maximum time you should be exposed to the
sun per day.
On the other hand there can be influences
preventing the instrument from registering your
actual dose of ultraviolet radiation. As well your
skin might react differently than usual. Using the
SUNTIMER™ does not replace your normal feeling

Background information on the sun’s
