Parts and Features

Automatic Shut Off

We've designed this back massager for convenience and safety.

As a special precaution against falling asleep while using the unit, or leaving the unit on while it's still in operation, we've programmed it to automatically stop massaging 15 minutes after receiving your last command. To reactivate the massage cushion, simply press any button. Any time you change massage functions, the timer will reset. This special feature should not be considered as a substitute for OFF. Always remember to turn your unit off when not in use.

Instructions for Use

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

For Use in Home or Office

Plug adapter into a 120 volt AC outlet and plug the receptacle end into the input jack, located along the side of the cushion. Attach the massage cushion to any chair for a luxurious massage as you read, rest or even work.

For Use in Your Car

Simply plug the 12 volt auto adapter into a cigarette outlet and plug the receptacle end into the input jack, located along the side of the cushion. Slip the massage cushion straps over your seat to enjoy a relaxing massage as you drive.

Strapping System

The Back Massager incorporates a unique strapping system which allows you to fasten it to most any chair or auto seat. Just slip the straps over the seat or chair and adjust the convenient hooks to fit. Your massager won't slip or slide away.
