IQOS ILUMA i PRIME Advanced features
Pause mode
Touch Screen will indicate whether the Pause mode is available, as 2 vertical lines will appear. Pause Mode can be used once in Performance Mode in the first or second consecutive use, and can be activated within the first 3 minutes, or 8 puffs of the experience.
1. Swipe DOWN across the entire Touch Screen to pause experience and 4 vertical lines will appear.
• If the swiping motion does not cover the entire length of the screen, pause mode will not be activated.
2. To resume the experience, swipe UP across entire Touch Screen and wait for the preheating. Vibration and Light Guide will indicate Holder is ready to resume use.
• Pause can last up to 8 minutes. If experience is not resumed, the Holder will automatically switch off.
FlexPuff
• FlexPuff is a smart feature that can be managed in the IQOS App (it is activated by default on new device) and may extend your experience duration based on your usage pattern still within up to 6 minutes.
• Your device will automatically analyze the consumed volume of aerosol and might activate FlexPuff.
• If Flexpuff will be activated, then you will be granted with 4 extra puffs, that can be used within the remainder of the 6min.
• FlexPuff activation and number of puffs depend on individual usage patterns, thus extended experience might not apply to all adult consumers and/or experiences. FlexPuff does not activate when pause is used.
• The Light Guide will indicate once you have the additional puffs available.
• Ensure pause mode is not activated during the experience as this would prevent FlexPuff from being triggered.
