INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

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.

1. Untie cord strap, extend cord, and insert plug into 120-volt household electrical outlet to
power unit.

2. Attach the cushion to most chairs for a luxurious massage as you read, rest, or even work.

See pages 8-9 for instructions on the use of the hand control.

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.
