Homedics MCS-1005HJ 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. DO NOT REINSTALL SCREW.

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.

Untie cord strap, extend cord, and insert plug into a 120-volt household electrical outlet to power unit.
Attach the cushion and enjoy your massage as you read, rest, or even work. Fits most chairs. See instructions on the use of the hand control.

SOUND AND MEDITATION

Enhance your massage with a variety of soothing sounds and meditations. Smart device users can go to the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store to download our HoMedics Massage App. See more instructions on the app.

REMOVABLE COVER

The cushion includes a removable cover that, when used, will customize the intensity of your massage. The cushion may be operated with or without the removable cover. Just use the included hook and loop fastener at the top of the cover to attach or remove the cover from the cushion.

STRAPPING SYSTEM

The cushion incorporates a unique strapping system that 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.

To avoid pinching, do not lean on the back massage mechanism in the cushion when adjusting your body position.
DO NOT jam or force any part of your body in the moving massage mechanism.

warning NOTE: This unit is equipped with a 15-minute auto-off feature for your safety.

MAINTENANCE

TO STORE

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

TO CLEAN

Never allow water or any other liquids to come into contact with the unit.

DO NOT immerse in any liquid to clean.
