• Folding back the neck cushion results in a stronger massage in the neck area.

5. After the application:

• We recommend that after every use of the chair – as is recommended after any type of massage – you drink plenty

of water, in order to help the removal of toxins and waste from the limbic system.

• Unplug the power cord and do not use the chair if the leather or fabric cover is torn or worn-out. Contact the main -

tenance department at brainLight® GmbH.

• For optimal well-being, we recommend the use of the HEAT function in combination with the massage functions.

• Turn off the HEAT function separately before switching off the whole chair using the POWER button.

out for you.

Step 1

Remove all packaging material. If you use sharp or poin­ted tools, make sure not to damage the chair and the ac­cessories.

Step 2

Pull back the backrest until it snaps in with a "click" sound.

Step 3

Put the side panels to the left and right of the chair. For
protection, please place a thick piece of material or a rug

on the oor under the side panels. On both sides, you will
nd 3 colour-coded air hoses. Connect the air hoses on

the armrests with the respective coloured air hoses at­tached to the chair.

Step 4

Secure the 3 colour-coded air hoses with the metal clamp.

Step 2

The backrest locks into place with a „click“
sound when folded up.

Step 3 - 4

Connect and secure the air hoses (3 air
hoses on each side of the chair).

8

Step 5

Subsequently, screw the side panels to the left and right
side of the chair frame. The 6 screws required for this are
packed separately (3 screws for each side panel). Please

make sure that the screws are sufciently tightened.

Step 6

Pull out the air hoses in the shoulder area on the backrest
about 8 cm on both sides.

Step 5

Step 7

Connect each of these air hoses with the L-shaped con­necting pieces of the shoulder massage units and push the
air hoses around 5 cm back into the backrest.

Step 8

Afx the shoulder massage units at the top and the bot­tom with the screws that are already attached to the back
frame. Fasten the two zips on the left and right side of the
back frame cover.

Setup Instructions

Step 9

Install the remote control holder: loosen the 3 pre-attached
screws on the outside of the right armrest with a cross-tip
screwdriver, position the holder and mount it with the
same 3 screws. Put the remote control in the bracket.

Step 10

Pick up the backrest overlay. The side on which you can
see two small cables is the top end. Connect these 2
cables with the same-coloured cables on the back frame
of the massage chair and please make sure that the trans­parent plastic spouts fully cover the joints.

Step 11

Place the neck cushion over the backrest overlay.

Step 12

Connect the power cable with the main switch box on the
chair and plug it into a wall socket. Check again to ensure
all steps are complete – your chair is now ready for use.

new strength in a short amount of time.

desk for long periods of time will particularly strain the lumbar spine. This stretch program
helps to relieve stress and alleviates spinal pain caused by long-term burdens.

massaging the bones in the hands and feet initiates the relaxation of the whole body. We
recommend to let this program take effect by subsequently choosing one of the two
AUTO RECLINER positions (buttons 10 and 11).

quick all-round relaxation, we recommend this massage experience.

releases tension in the head and limbs.

The automatic program V has the following options:

Press once: 15-minute program with 100 % air pressure intensity, press twice: 20-minute program with 100 % air pressure
intensity, press three times: 20-minute program with 50 % air pressure intensity, press four times: 20-minute program with

7-minute automatic program, primarily for stretching the legs and feet. The footrest

8-minute automatic program that primarily relaxes the waist using air

AUTOMATIC RECLINE POSITIONS (BUTTONS 10 – 11)

10 AUTO RECLINER: FLOAT

11 AUTO RECLINER: INVERSION

Sitting at a desk or standing for a long period of time creates great
pressure on the waist and pelvis. The reclined position FLOAT helps to
reduce this pressure and general exhaustion. This position is held for
around 30 minutes before the massage chair returns back to the starting
position.

Medical studies show that brain activity depends on the oxygen
content in the brain. Holding the body in the inversion position (feet
are positioned higher than the head) for 15 minutes allows the

enriched, oxygenated blood to ow to the head, stimulating brain

activity and therefore improving cognitive and memory performance
– essential for the health of the brain. The position is held for around
35 minutes before the massage chair returns back to the starting
position.

automatic/half-automatic massage programs and the manual massage functions.

The automatic programs I-V, WHOLE BODY STRETCH and WAIST PRESSURE, as well as the half-automatic programs

SHOULDERS/NECK, BACK and LUMBAR carry out an automatic back scan before the program begins. This identies

the acupressure points and the length of your body in order to optimise the effect of the massage. Using the following
buttons, you can adjust the seat and recline position to the exact position that is most comfortable for you: FOOTREST,
RECLINE, FLOAT, FOOTREST EXTENSION.
