4. Only use the unit for the purpose described in these instructions.
5. Do not stand on the unit.
6. Do not use any accessories other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
7. Never operate the unit if it has a damaged power cord or plug. Return the unit to the nearest authorized service center if it is not working properly, if it has been dropped or damaged, or if it has been immersed in water.
8. Keep power cords away from heated surfaces. Do not carry the unit by the power cord.

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.
