Refer to the page 27 and 28 regarding the contents of Whole Body Sensor Automatic Courses.
 Change of course during massaging, or change to the Automatic Course or the Manual Courses, is possible.

 Be sure to place your fingers (hand) on the sensor. The degree of stiffness cannot be measured if your

fingers (hand) are not placed on the sensor. (If your fingers (hand) are not gripping the sensor, “Grip the
sensor” on the remote control will be illuminated.) If your fingers (hand) are not touching the sensor
points, massages will be carried out according to the standard operation of the selected course.

 When the user’s skin is dry, the degree of stiffness may not be measured correctly. In such a case, slightly

moisten the fingers (hand) using hand cream and place the fingers (hand) on the sensor again.

TROUBLE-SHOOTING

Type of Trouble

Movement of massaging rollers
in upward direction, causing
operation to stop.

Check points Countermeasure

The display of stiffness differs
from the degree of stiffness
actually felt.

Operation failure

The operation stops in the middle
of massaging.

Sounds and sensations during operation

Courses other than Air Course
cannot be selected.

 If the trouble still persists even after the following proper countermeasures have been taken, stop using the

massager to avoid possible accidents. Disconnect the power plug from the outlet and consult an authorized
service center. Do not attempt to repair the equipment at home by yourself, as it is very dangerous.

 If people who are heavier than the maximum weight (120 kg or more) use the massager, it may

stop operating suddenly.

The degree of stiffness cannot
be measured correctly.

NOTE

●

●

・Rattling sound during tapping
・The sound of massaging rollers moving up and

down and the sound of kneading operation 
 (Knocking, clinking, rubbing or whistling sounds)

・Creaking sound caused by massaging rollers

 and cloth during massaging operation

・Gear meshing sound

・Wobbling of the foot rest
・Creaking or sliding sounds when reclining

・Sound of air massaging

Whooshing sound (switching valve sound)
 Hissing or blowing sound (air exhaust sound)
 Sounds from the pump operating

Sound of the air bag filling up

・Small sounds and shocks coming from the massaging
 rollers when massaging near the waist
・Bouncing movement of the massaging rollers when
 they move from the back to the shoulder

Sounds and sensations such as the following may occur while the massager is operating,
but these occur as part of the normal mechanism of the massager and are not the signs of
a malfunction. (They have no effect on normal functioning.)

WARNING

Check that the power plug is securely
plugged into the outlet.

Push the power plug into the
outlet securely. (See page 11)

Check that the POWER switch is set to
the ON position.

Check if the remote power switch is
turned off. (LED is not illuminated.)

Press the POWER switch to the
[ON] position. (See page 11)

Press the OPERATION ON/OFF button
after turning on the remote power
switch. (See page 11)

Check if the remote power switch is
turned off. (LED is not illuminated.)

Press the OPERATION ON/OFF button
after turning on the remote power
switch. (See page 11)

Make sure that no more than one button
is being pressed at any one time.

Please press each button separately.

Check if the chair is set to the BEST
POSITION 2.

After adjusting the angle of back rest,
select the massaging button.

(See page 13)

This phenomenon is caused by the operation of the timer, but is not
a problem.

Reclining is not possible. The foot
rest cannot be raised or lowered.

Is it being obstructed by something? Remove the obstruction.

You feel discomfort during the
operation of reclining.

(

Move toward
the opposite direction temporarily,
or do not move smoothly.

)

This operation is conducted for safety, but is not a problem.

The position of massaging rollers
differ between right and left.

This phenomenon is caused by the adoption of the function of alternative
tapping on the right and left sides, but is not a problem.

Check if your fingers (hand) are placed
on the sensor.

Place your fingers (hand) on the
sensor. (See page 15)

The measurement result indicates the stiffness according to the body's
biological reaction to the sensor massage, so it may differ from the
stiffness the user actually feels.

Massage in relaxed condition as much as possible. The degree of stiffness may
not be measured correctly when the user massages immediately after taking
a bath or is given stimulation other than sensor massage, like watching TV.

Check your skin for dryness.

Slightly moisten your hand using hand cream
and place the fingers (

hand

) on the sensor again.
