All servicing of this massager must be performed by authorized HoMedics service personnel only.

Instructions for Use

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade 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. It it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

Insert the power cord into a 120 volt AC outlet. To activate the massage action, press power button once (Figure 1). To activate soothing heat with the massage, press the heat button. Massage heads will glow red (Figure 2). Allow a few moments for the heating action to warm up. When finished press the power button again to turn off the massage and heat function and unplug the pillow.

The Shiatsu Pillow is very versatile and designed for use on the neck, back and shoulders (see Figures 3 and 4). However, you may find it works well for other body areas as well.

NOTE: For the neck and shoulders it may work better to use the pillow upside down as shown in Figure 5.

NOTE: Only gentle force should be exerted against the unit in order to eliminate any/all risk of injury. You may soften massage force by placing a towel between yourself and the unit.
