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 hands or feet
in the gap between the unit and leg/foot massage section.
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.
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. Do not unplug the unit or turn it off during operation. Unplug the unit immediately if there is a power outage.
9. 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.
10. Always fold down the back pad 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.
11. 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 pad, the seat or the leg/foot massage section.)
Failure to observe this precaution may result in accident or injury.
12. Always return the leg/foot massage section to its original position before moving the unit.
Failure to observe this precaution may result in injury due to the leg/foot massage section returning to its
original position when the unit is being moved.

13. Do not drag or push the unit in an installed state.
Do not move the unit using the wheels on the floor. (Always place a mat or similar object underneath.)
The floor may be damaged.
14. Do not stand on the leg/foot massage section.
The end portion of the leg/foot massage section may rotate, or the main unit may tip, causing accident or injury.
Also, the bottom of the leg/foot massage section may make contact with and scratch the floor.
15. Do not insert your feet between the sole section and calf section of the leg/foot massage section and attempt to
stand up.
Failure to observe this precaution may result in accident or injury in a fall.
OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION:To avoid damaging the chair, follow these precautions:
1. 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.
2. Do not treat the chair roughly, such as turning the chair on its side, turning the chair over or standing on it.
3. 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.
4. If the massager functions abnormally, immediately turn off the power and have the massager checked by an
authorized service center.
5. Do not repeatedly operate any switch at short intervals. Such action may cause the switch to malfunction.
6. Some noise may be heard coming from the massager while in use. This is due to the structure of the massager
and is normal.
7. 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.
8. After each massage, slide the power switch, which is located on the back side of the chair, to the “off” position
and turn its lock switch to the “lock” position. Remove the key and power plug.
9. Do not sit on the chair with wet body or hair.
10. The unit must not be used in “wet rooms” (sauna, swimming pool) or outdoors.
11. 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.

Cautions for washing
To hand wash (avoid machine washing)
Wash the backrest cushion cover with the zippers closed.
1 Immerse the cover in water of no more than 86 °F (30 °C), and wash by
pushing down gently.
Caution: Use a mild detergent. Detergents including bleaching agents will bleach the cover.
Do not use such detergents.
2 Rinse well.
3 Gently squeeze out the water.
Caution: Do not squeeze the cover tightly as this may damage the fabric or stretch the fiber.
4 Gently stretch and hang dry in the shade.
Caution: Drying in direct sunlight may cause the fabric to shrink and the color to fade, and
should therefore be avoided.
After washing the cover, you can iron it to eliminate fold marks.
(Caution regarding use of iron)
Back pad
Backrest cushion cover
Pass a steam iron over the cover to shape.
(Do not allow the iron to touch the fabric directly.)
Place the iron on the fabric, and use a medium
temperature with an upper limit of 302 °F (150 °C).
To dry clean
At the cleaners, ask for dry cleaning (petroleum based) and make it clear that tumble drying should not be used.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem
Cause and Remedy
Motor Noises
• It sounds and feels like the massage heads are straining to get over wrinkles in the cloth.
• There is operational noise of kneading or tapping actions.
• There is a creaking noise when the massage heads are in operation.
• There is a rattling sound when the massage heads move up or down.
• The belt can be heard rotating.
• The motor groans when it comes under load.
• There is clunking or grinding sound when the massage heads move in and out.
• There is operational noise when applying air pressure.
• There is a noise of discharging air.
• There is a slipping sound when you sit back.
• There is a rubbing sound produced by the massage heads rubbing on the seat fabric.
• Leg/foot massage section rattles.
These sounds are perfectly normal and will not have any effect on the operation of the unit.
The massage heads stop during operation.
When excessive force is applied to the massage heads during operation, in the interests of safety the massage heads may
stop moving.
If all markings and buttons on the controller start to flash, which is extremely unusual, turn off the power switch, wait for
approximately 10 seconds and then turn the power switch on again. If the massage heads stop again, position yourself so
that your back is not completely in contact with the backrest.
The massage heads do not come up to the shoulder or neck.
If your head or your back does not contact the backrest, the shoulder position may be detected as lower than the actual
position during the shoulder checking operation. Sit on the seat in the deepest position and put your head on the backrest,
and then repeat the operations again from the start.
(See Page 15.)
The height of the left and right massage heads is different.
An alternating tapping method is employed, which means that this phenomenon will naturally occur.
There is nothing wrong with the unit.
The unit will not operate at all.
• Upper body (neck to lower back) massage
• Calf and sole massage
• The power cord has been disconnected.
(See Page 12.)

is pressed again when a massage has finished.
Approximately 5 seconds are required for program termination after a massage finishes. Wait at least 5 seconds once all
movement has stopped before pressing
.
The unit has been damaged.
Stop using the unit immediately.
The power cord or power plug is abnormally hot.
Stop using the unit immediately.
