INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this unit is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

SHIATSU MASSAGE AND HEAT

1. Plug into a 120-volt outlet.
2. It is highly recommended that the foot massager be used with socked feet. Do not use the unit with shoes.
3. Place massager on the floor in front of your chair or seat.
4. To activate shiatsu massage action, press the power button once. The LED illuminator will glow blue (Fig. 1).
   
5. To activate soothing heat with the massage, press the heat button. The LED illuminator will glow red. Allow a few moments for the heating action to warm up.
6. When finished, turn the unit "OFF" and unplug. "OFF" is reached by pressing the power button until the unit turns off.

NOTE: Heat will only work when the massage feature is on.

AIR COMPRESSION MASSAGE

1. While shiatsu massage is activated, move the "AIR" switch (Fig. 2) up to the desired air compression setting. Choose from "OFF", "LOW", "MED" or "HIGH" compression options. It is recommended that you start with "LOW" setting, to get a sense of how the compression feels on your feet.
   
2. If greater compression massage is desired, move to "MED" or "HIGH" setting. NOTE: Air compression massage cannot be activated without shiatsu massage. NOTE: This unit is equipped with a 15-minute auto-off feature for your safety.
