CAUTION: To avoid the risk of injury:
1. Persons with any of the conditions listed below or who are undergoing medical treatment or su er 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 su ering from back, neck, shoulder, or hip pain.
c) People who have a pacemaker, de brillator, or other personal medical devices prone to electronic interference.
d) People su ering 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.
g) People who have a loss of heat sensation.
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 ngers 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 ngers 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 e ectiveness, 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. When using the body scanning function, always ensure that the shoulder position is correct. If the shoulder position is
not correct, use the POSITION button to adjust it properly. Or stop the massage function and re-try the body scanning
function. You can adjust the shoulder position in this way in the auto program and manual operation. Failure to align
the shoulder position correctly can lead to injury.
English
6. Do not stretch the back muscles for more than approximately 16 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 rst 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 e ect.
To prevent excessive massaging, do not use the massager for more than a total of 16 minutes each session.
After approximately 16 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 16 minutes).
Reinstall the back cushion if you want to restore to normal massage intensity.
7. 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.
8. Do not go to sleep while using the unit. Do not use the unit after drinking alcohol.
9. 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.
10. Do not allow children or pets to play on or around the unit, especially during operation.
11. Do not unplug the unit or turn it o during operation. Unplug the unit immediately if there is a power outage.
12. Be sure to start on the gentle massage program if using the massager for the rst time. The shiatsu massage is stronger
and should be enjoyed after one has gotten accustomed to the chair.
13. 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.
14. Remove hard objects, such as false ngernails, wristwatches or rings, when massaging hands or arms.
Empty pockets of hard objects when massaging the area of the seat or thighs.

15. Always raise the comfort cushion to check that the fabric of the unit itself has not been ripped before using the unit.
English
Please also check other areas to ensure that the fabric has not been ripped. No matter how small the rip, if you nd one
then immediately stop using the unit, unplug the power cord and have the unit repaired at an authorized service
center.

foreign objects stuck in the back cushion, legrest or hand/arm massage section.)
Sit down and ensure that the legrest is properly locked in place.
Failure to observe this precaution may result in accident or injury.
18. 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.
19. Store the attachment screws out of reach of children.
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 o 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
170˚. 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.
English
10. After each massage, slide the power switch, which is located on the right side of the chair, to the “o ” position and turn
its lock switch to the “lock” position and remove the key and power plug.
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 x your unit.
14. Always hold the power plug, not the power cord, when unplugging it from a socket.
Failure to observe this precaution may result in electric shock or short-circuit.
