Homedics MCS-125H-THP Manual

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

The cushion comes with a screw located on the back of the unit to protect the massage mechanism during shipment, which must be removed before the first use to allow the unit to function properly. Use the provided Allen wrench. Then, properly dispose of the screw. Failure to remove screw may cause permanent damage to the massage cushion.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is 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.

1. Remove plug from cord storage compartment, extend cord and insert plug into 120-volt household electrical outlet to power unit.
2. Cushion attaches to most chairs. See instructions on the use of the integrated controls.

STRAPPING SYSTEM
The cushion incorporates a unique strapping system which allows you to fasten it to almost any chair. Just slip the straps over the seat or chair and adjust fastening straps to secure. Your massager won't slip or slide away.

MAINTENANCE

TO STORE
Place massager in its box or in a cool, dry place. Avoid contact with sharp edges or pointed objects which might cut or puncture the fabric surface. To avoid breakage, do not wrap the power cord around the unit.

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.

SHIATSU MASSAGE CUSHION WITH HEAT

NOTE: When power button is pressed for first-time use, the moving mechanism will automatically move to the lowest position before starting a massage program. After initial use, mechanism will always "park" at lowest position. See note below regarding parking.
NOTE: The moving massage mechanism always "parks" or finishes in its lowest position. It continues to this position after the power has been turned off. If the electrical supply is interrupted, when power is restored, the mechanism will "park" or move to its lowest position.
