experience a soothing massage in your automobile by plugging the DC car adapter into the cigarette
lighter. For your safety, please use only the adapters provided with this massager. Elastic straps are
attached to the seat which allow you to securely fasten the massager to most any automobile seat
or chair.

This massager has been designed for ease of operation. To create your own custom massage, follow
these easy steps: With all the slide switches on the hand controller in the “OFF” position, connect the
power cord to the hand controller. In an automobile use the DC car adapter; at home or office use the
120 Volt AC Adapter. There are 5 switches on the hand controller.

The TOP 4 SWITCHES control the vibrating motors:

and disconnect power before storing.

PULSATING MASSAGE

For an intense massage, this unit offers the option of a pulsating massage; the motors turn on and off
to create the feel of pulsation.

To utilize this option:

1) Select either “Low” or “Hi” on any of the 4 independently activated motors. The motors will start
turning on and off for an intense massage.

2) For added customization, there is a dial marked “Pulse Intensity” located on the right side of the
hand controller which controls the frequency of the pulse feature when it is in the pulse mode. To
increase the frequency of pulse, move the dial upward. To decrease the speed of the pulsation, turn
the dial fully downward.

3) For a steady massage or vibration, select “Vib” on all four-massage zones.
