INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
The cushion comes with a screw located on the back of the unit to protect the
massage mechanism during shipment, which must be removed before the first use
to allow the unit to function properly. Use the provided Allen wrench. Then,
properly dispose of the screw.
WARNING: Failure to remove the screw may cause permanent damage to the
massage cushion. DO NOT REINSTALL SCREW.
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 a 120-volt household
electrical outlet to power unit.
2. Attach the cushion and enjoy your massage as you read, rest, or even work.
Fits most chairs. See pages 8-9 for instructions on the use of the hand
control.
SOUND AND MEDITATION

device users can go to the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store to
download our HoMedics Massage App. See page 7 for more instructions on the
app.
REMOVABLE COVER
The cushion includes a removable cover that, when used, will customize the
intensity of your massage. The cushion may be operated with or without the
removable cover. Just use the included hook and loop fastener at the top of
the cover to attach or remove the cover from the cushion.
STRAPPING SYSTEM
The cushion incorporates a unique strapping system that allows you to fasten
it to almost any chair. Just slip the straps over the seat or chair and adjust
fastening straps to secure them. Your massager won’t slip or slide away.
CAUTION: To avoid pinching, do not lean on the back massage mechanism in
the cushion when adjusting your body position.

mechanism.
