SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION:To avoid the risk of injury:
1. Persons with any of the conditions listed below or who are undergoing medical treatment or suffer from medical
conditions should consult with their physicians before using the unit:
a) Pregnant women, people who are ill, in poor physical shape.
b) People suffering from back, neck, shoulder, or hip pain.
c) People who have a pacemaker, defibrillator, or other personal medical devices prone to electronic
interference.
d) People suffering from heart disease.
e) People who are prohibited from receiving massage by a physician due to thrombosis or aneurism, acute
varicose veins, or other circulatory disorders.
f) People with irregular curvatures of the spine.
2. This unit should not be used by children. Remove the key when not in use and store out of reach of children.
3. Sit down slowly after checking the position of the massage heads. Never put any part of your body between the
massage heads as the squeezing action of the massage heads may cause injury. Never put your fingers or feet
in the gap between the backrest and seat, the backrest and the armrest, the seat and cover under the armrest,
or the gap between the legrest and the footrest. Do not place your fingers or any part of your body in the
mechanism below the legrest, or between the legrest and footrest.
4. Do not use the unit against bare skin. While thin clothing may increase effectiveness, exposing the skin directly
to the massager may irritate the skin.
Do not use the unit while wearing anything hard on your head like a hair accessory, etc. Do not use the unit for
massaging the head, abdomen, front neck, elbows or knees.
Do not use excessively strong massage action on the back of the neck.
5. Do not stretch the back muscles for more than approximately 15 minutes at a time. To avoid overstretching the
muscles which may result in discomfort, do not use the unit for more than 5 minutes when first using it.You can
gradually increase the duration and strength of the massage as you become used to it.
Do not massage any one point for more than 5 minutes at a time.
Excessive massaging can overstimulate the muscles and nerves and result in an adverse effect.
To prevent excessive massaging, do not use the massager for more than a total of 15 minutes each session.
After approximately 15 minutes, the massage heads will be retracted and stop moving.
The back cushion can be removed if you want to experience a stronger back massage. Exercise extreme care
when you use this mode in order to avoid back pain or injury. Use only for short periods of time (no more than
15 minutes). Reinstall the back cushion if you want to restore to normal massage intensity.
6. While using the massager, if you start feeling sick or if the massage seems painful, stop using it immediately.
While using the massager, if the pressure seems too strong, the movement of the massage heads can be
stopped at any time by pressing the Quick Stop button.
7. Do not go to sleep while using the unit. Do not use the unit after drinking alcohol.
8. When the seat back is in a reclined position, do not sit on it or sit with your legs resting on the headrest.
Do not sit on the legrest as the unit may fall over.
9. Do not allow children or pets to play on or around the unit, especially during operation.
10. Do not unplug the unit or turn it off during operation. Unplug the unit immediately if there is a power outage.
11. Be sure to start on the gentle massage program if using the massager for the first time. The shiatsu massage is
stronger and should be enjoyed after one has gotten accustomed to the chair.
12. Do not allow children to play on this mechanized furniture or operate the mechanism. Legrest folds down on
closing so that a child could possibly be injured. Always leave in an upright and closed position. Keep hands
and feet clear of mechanism. Only the occupant should operate it.
13. Always raise the back cushion to check that the fabric of the unit itself has not been ripped before using the unit.
Please also check other areas to ensure that the fabric has not been ripped. No matter how small the rip, if you
find one then immediately stop using the unit, unplug the power cord and have the unit repaired at an
authorized service center.

14. Sit on the unit after confirming there is no foreign matter between the parts of the unit. (Confirm that there are
no foreign objects stuck in the back cushion, leg/sole massage section, or under the seat.)
Failure to observe this precaution may result in accident or injury.
15. Always return the legrest to its original position before moving the unit.
Failure to observe this precaution may result in injury due to the legrest returning to its original position when
the unit is being moved.
16. Do not leave the removed attachment screws lying unattended.
Accidental ingestion may occur.
OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION:To avoid damaging the chair, follow these precautions:
1. The chair is designed for a maximum user weight of 264 lbs (120 kg). Exceeding the maximum weight may
cause permanent damage to the massage mechanism and/or other components of the unit. Any such damage
is deemed to be user abuse and is not covered under the Limited Warranty.
2. Do not sit on or drop the controller. Do not pull the controller cord or the power cord. Be careful not to catch the
cord of the controller between the armrest and the chair back.
3. Do not treat the chair roughly, such as turning the chair on its side, turning the chair over or standing on it.
4. Do not treat the covering roughly.
• Keep sharp or pointed objects away from the covering of the chair. Be careful not to drop lit ashes, lit cigarettes
or matches on the chair.
• Exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading or a change in color of the covering.
5. If the massager functions abnormally, immediately turn off the power and have the massager checked by an
authorized service center.
6. Do not repeatedly operate any switch at short intervals. Such action may cause the switch to malfunction.
7. Some noise may be heard coming from the massager while in use. This is due to the structure of the massager
and is normal.
8. Make sure there are no obstacles behind the chair before reclining it. The chair can be reclined to a maximum
angle of 160˚. If the back hits a wall or pillar, the chair may malfunction. Be sure to have ample space behind
the chair. Recline the chair slowly in order to avoid contact with an obstacle.
9. When excessive pressure is applied to the massage heads, they may stop moving for safety. When moving the
heads up from the lowered position, one’s body weight may stop the heads’ movement. In such a case, slightly
raise your body and allow the massage heads to move up.
10. After each massage, slide the power switch, which is located on the right side of the chair, to the “off” position
and turn its lock switch to the “lock” position.
11. Do not sit on the chair with wet body or hair.
12. The unit must not be used in “wet rooms” (sauna, swimming pool) or outdoors.
13. Do not attempt to open or disassemble any part of the unit. Only use an authorized Panasonic servicer to fix
your unit.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric
current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and
a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with
all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided
with the product – if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure A.
Make sure that the product is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug.
No adapter should be used with this product.

SETTING UP THE MASSAGE LOUNGER
1. Where to use the unit
• Ensure there is adequate space to recline.
Keep at least 4" (10 cm) away from the wall.
• Do not expose the massage lounger to direct sunlight or high
temperatures, such as in front of heating sources, because this can
cause discoloration or hardening of the synthetic leather.
• Place the unit on a mat to prevent floor damage.
• When placing a mat under the unit, the size of the mat should be
sufficient [at least 47.2 in. × 27.6 in. (120 cm × 70 cm)] to cover the
areas where the unit touches and where the legrest could touch the
floor, as shown in the diagram on the right.

2. Removing everything from the box and installing the unit
• Since the unit is very heavy [approximately 144 lbs
(65 kg)], be careful to avoid back injuries. (The unit
must be carried by two persons.)
• When using the wheels to move the unit, place a mat
on the floor to protect the floor surface.
To put the unit down on the floor
• Put the unit down slowly and carefully watch your step.
• Put down the legrest by holding it with your hands until
it has been set on the floor completely. If you release
your hands before the legrest is fully extended, the
legrest will forcefully return to the initial position.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
See Danger No. 1 on page 1.
Leather covering on the pillow, the back cushion and the unit
• Wipe these areas with a soft, dry cloth.
(Do NOT use cloths containing any kind of chemical, etc.)
• If the synthetic leather is particularly dirty, soak a soft cloth in water or a 3–5 % solution of mild detergent, wring it out
thoroughly and tap the surface with it. Next, rinse the cloth in water, wring it out thoroughly and then wipe any remaining
detergent from the surface, wipe the surfaces with a soft dry cloth and allow them to dry naturally.
(Do NOT use a hair dryer to try to dry the surfaces more quickly.)
• Wearing of denim, colored, patterned or other clothing with a tendency to fade should be avoided during use, as it could lead to
discoloration of the synthetic leather.
• Do not allow these areas to come in contact with plastic for extended periods of time as this may lead to discoloration.
• Please do NOT use thinners, benzine or alcohol.
Pipe and plastic areas
1. Wipe the unit with a cloth that has been soaked in a mild detergent and then thoroughly wrung out.
