DEVICE OVERVIEW

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 120-volt household electrical outlet to power unit.
Attach the cushion to most chairs for a luxurious massage as you read, rest, or even work. See instructions on the use of the hand control.

warning Note: The hand control comes with a clear, plastic film to protect the buttons before use. When you are ready to use your massage cushion, peel off the plastic film by lifting at one corner and pulling gently. Discard film.

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.

MAINTENANCE

TO STORE

Place massager in its box or in a safe, 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. Do not hang the unit by the hand control 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, gasoline, kerosene, glass/furniture polish, or paint thinner to clean.
DO NOT attempt to repair the cushion. There are no user-serviceable parts. For service, call the Consumer Relations telephone number listed in the Warranty section.

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

warning Note: There is a 15-minute auto shut-off on the unit for your safety.

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

warning Note: Only gentle force should be exerted against the unit in order to eliminate any/all risk of injury. You may soften massage force by placing a towel between yourself and the unit.

BUTTONS DESCRIPTION

POWER BUTTON
To turn on the massage functions, first press the power button. The LED indicator will illuminate. To turn off the massage functions, press the button again. The LED indicator will blink while the massage mechanism returns to its lowest point, and then it will turn off.

NECK SPOT MASSAGE
You may adjust the kneading neck massage position by holding down either button until the desired spot is reached. The up arrow will move the mechanism upward and the down arrow will move it downward. Once you release the button, the mechanism will stop in that place.

TAPPING
Tapping is a fast, invigorating massage.
To activate tapping massage, press the "TAPPING" button once. To deactivate, press the button again. Tapping massage only travels up and down your back when combined with shiatsu massage. When used without shiatsu, adjust the position with the up and down spot massage buttons.

SPOT MASSAGE
While the unit is in shiatsu and tapping massage, press the "SPOT" button to focus the massage action in one place. Once the unit is operating in spot massage, you may adjust the mechanism position by holding the up or down arrow buttons until the desired position is reached. The up arrow will move the mechanism upward, and the down arrow will move it downward. To deactivate spot massage, press one of the massage zone buttons.

SHIATSU MASSAGE
Shiatsu is a deep-kneading massage. During this function, the massage nodes will rotate while traveling up and down your back, soothing tense muscles.
