Your IQOS ILUMA PRIME: ready to go in just a few steps.


Fully charge your device before first use (about 135 minutes). Press the power button on the device for 4 seconds to turn it on or off.


Briefly tap the power button on the IQOS ILUMA ONE to check the battery status. If four LEDs light up, the device is at least 75% charged.


Check the LEDs on the holder. If two LEDs are lit, the device is ready for two uses. If one LED is lit, there is still one use left. If an LED lights up yellow, the holder must be charged.


Insert the TEREA tobacco stick up to the line on the filter. Preheating starts automatically via the Autostart function. If this is deactivated, press the power key for 1 second to start the preheating manually.


The first vibration and slowly pulsating LEDs mean that the device is heating up. With the second vibration and one (or two) lit LEDs, you can start enjoying tobacco.


Another vibration signals that the tobacco stick is almost used up (30 seconds or 2 puffs remain). Dispose of used TEREA Tobacco Stick and insert Holder into Pocket Charger for recharging.

Charge your IQOS ILUMA PRIME.


Fully charge your device with the supplied power adapter and charging cable before first use (approx. 135 minutes).


Briefly tap the power button to check the battery status. If the lower part of the status bar flashes yellow, the device needs to be charged. If the battery is severely depleted, it can take up to 20 minutes before one LED of the status bar lights up and the device can be used. If the LED strip is fully lit, your device is fully charged and will provide you with 20 uses.


Check the LEDs on the holder. If two LEDs are lit, the holder is fully charged and ready for two uses. One LED means one more use. If an LED lights up yellow, the holder must be charged.


After use, remove the TEREA Tobacco Stick and insert the Holder into the Pocket Charger. The two LEDs on the Pocket Charger flash when the Holder is charging and light up as soon as use is possible.

Advanced features and smart gestures.

Auto start
The IQOS ILUMA PRIME Holder automatically starts preheating when you insert a TEREA tobacco stick. This function is preset and can be deactivated via the IQOS App.

Holding it up
When the Holder is not in use and you hold it up, it indicates by one or two LEDs how many uses are possible.

Double-tap
Simply double-tap the holder during use. It will vibrate to indicate how much of your tobacco experience is left:
3 vibrations: 75-50%
2 vibrations: 50-25%
1 vibration: < 25%

IQOS ILUMA PRIME Tips:

Insert TEREA Tabaksticks

Use your IQOS ILUMA PRIME exclusively with TEREA tobacco sticks. Each tobacco stick can only be used once.

Charge the battery regularly

It is best to charge the Pocket Charger daily with the included power supply and charging cable, overnight for example. This way your heated tobacco device is always ready to go.

Personalize settings

You can easily activate or deactivate the smart gestures via the IQOS App and also set certain functions such as light intensity and vibrations.

IQOS LUMA is designed to be used only with TEREA tobacco sticks. Do not use IQOS ILUMA and TEREA tobacco sticks with previous IQOS generations (IQOS ORIGINALS or older), as this may cause damage to your device. IQOS ILUMA cannot be used with HETS tobacco sticks. TEREA tobacco sticks contain sharp metal parts which can cause serious injury if swallowed. Do not disassemble TEREA tobacco sticks, never swallow them and always keep them out of the reach of children. Do not insert the IQOS ILUMA holder into chargers of previous IQOS tobacco heaters and vice versa. Find more information here.
