Connect to Power

Earth Icon This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment- grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

CAUTION

  • Ensure there is no damage to the supply cord before switching on the massage chair.
  • Ensure that the main power switch is turned off before connecting to power.

Chair Setup

Getting Comfortable

Main Power Switch

To power up the chair, flip the main power switch located on the back of the base of the chair to ON.

CAUTION

  • Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the chair or touch the power box.
  • Always unplug the massage chair from the electrical outlet immediately after use.
  • Unplug from outlet during thunder or lightening storms, and before putting on or taking off parts.
  • Turn off the power switch and unplug the massage chair from the electrical outlet while not in use to avoid children power on the massage chair accidentally.
  • When not in use for a long period of time,we recommend that the chair be covered, the power cord be coiled and that the unit be placed in an environment free of dust and moisture.
Adjust Pillow

Take a seat in the chair and take note of where the neck pillow rests on your neck. Adjust the pillow so that it rests comfortably in the arch of your neck. Do this by removing it from the velcro, aligning it, and then reattaching to the velcro once it is in the desired position.

Adjust Pillow

Smart tip: To increase intensity in the neck and shoulder region, flip the pillow or the pillow and pillow pad up so you lay directly on the seat backpad.

Body Scanning

Select any auto program and press the OK button. The chair will automatically begin scanning your body, mapping your back, shoulders, and neck. During this process it is importing to remain seated back into the chair without lifting your head.

The scan can be viewed on the remote control screen. If fine tuning is needed just after your body scan, wait for the shoulder adjust prompt to appear and then use the Back Adjustment buttons to move the massage rollers up or down for the perfect shoulder kneading position.

Reduce the Intensity of your Massage – Manually

To make the massage less intense, you can add the back pad to the seat back of your chair, or you can also fold down the neck rest to provide more cushioning between you and the massage mechanism in the seat back. To make the foot rollers less intense, make sure the foot pads that came with the chair are inserted into the bottom of the footrest.

Getting out of the Chair

To easily exit the chair at any time, press the ON/OFF power button on the remote control to restore the chair to the upright position.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: I find the chair is too intense to be comfortable. What can I do?

A: Your body needs to become acclimated to therapeutic massage. To be effective, the massage techniques must compress the tissue in your body. We recommend the following steps to help get started. Then over time as your body acclimates you can increase the intensity by reducing the layers between you and the chair.

  1. Use body the Pillow and Pillow pad to reduce upper body intensity
  2. Use the back pad that came with your chair to reduce back intensity
  3. Use the foot bed pads that came with your chair
  4. Go into Airbag on the main menu, select air intensity setting 1
    • If a specific airbag is too intense, turn off Full and turn only the airbags you want
  5. Press the foot roller button until you feel the foot rollers turn off
  6. Adjust the recline on the remote. More upright will be less intense. Zero Gravity will be more intense

Q: I’m not a foot massage person, what should I do?

A: Turn off foot rollers, press the Foot Roller button on your remote control until the rollers stop. You may also want to turn off the Foot/Calf airbags or reduce the air intensity to level

  1. Finally make sure the foot pads are inserted into the foot beds on the foot rest.

Q: My chair is not performing as expected. What should I do?

A: Your Infinity massage chair is an amazing combination of programming and robotics. On occasion the chair just may need to be rebooted. To do this power down the chair and unplug from the wall for 5 minutes then plug back in and power back up to see if it selfhealed. If you are still having an issue, give Infinity a call at 603-910-5000.

Q: Nature sounds are not working on my chair

A: Go to Bluetooth under Settings and make sure it is set to On. Then go to Volume under Sounds and make sure it is not set on OFF, 1 or 2.

Q: I can never seem to get in my Infinity Massage chair, someone is always in it.

A: We know. It happens. Tell your friends to get their own Infinity Chair.
