Strapping System

This back lumbar massager incorporates a unique strapping system which allows you to fasten it to most any chair. Pull strap from left and right sides around the chair and fasten with the clips.

Automatic Shut Off

The massager has been designed for convenience and safety. As a special precaution against falling asleep while using the unit, or leaving the unit on while it is still in operation, we've programmed it to automatically stop working 15 minutes after receiving your last command. This special feature should not be considered as a substitute for OFF. Always remember to turn your unit off when not in use.

Maintenance

All servicing of this massager must be performed by authorized HoMedics service personnel only.

To Store

Place massager in its box or in a safe, dry, cool place. Avoid contact with sharp edges or pointed objects. To avoid breakage, DO NOT wrap the power cord around the unit. DO NOT hang the unit by the controller cord.

To Clean

Unplug the unit and allow it to cool before cleaning. Clean only with a soft, slightly damp sponge. NEVER allow water or any other liquids to come into contact with the unit.

DO NOT immerse in any liquid to clean.
Never use abrasive cleaners, brushes, or strong chemicals that might or might not be flammable and/or damaging to the product to clean.
DO NOT attempt to repair the massager. There are no user serviceable parts. For service, send the unit to the HoMedics address listed in the warranty section.

warning Please note: Not recommended for use against wooden surfaces as the zipper may damage the wood. Caution is also recommended when using against upholstered furniture.
