Do not stand on the unit. 6. Do not use any accessories other than those recommended by the manufacturer. 7. Always return the seat to the upright position and make sure the legrest is completely retracted. Be careful that
nothing is obstructing the legrest while retracting. Keep children away from the legrest. 8. 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. 9. Keep power cords away from heated surfaces.

etc.

Do not drop or insert anything into any of the openings of the unit. 11.Do not use the unit on top of heating appliances, such as electric carpets, etc. Do not operate the unit under

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 fingers or feet in the gap between the backrest and seat, the backrest and the armrest, the seat and cover under the armrest, or the gap between the legrest and the footrest. Do not place your fingers or any part of your body in the mechanism below the legrest, or between the legrest and footrest. 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. When using the body scanning function, always ensure that the shoulder position is correct. If the shoulder position is not correct, use the POSITION button to adjust it properly. You can adjust the shoulder position in this way in the pre-programs, quick massage, self- program and manual operation. Failure to align the shoulder position correctly can lead to injury. 6. 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. The back cushion can be removed if you want to experience a stronger back massage. Exercise extreme care when you use this mode in order to avoid back pain or injury. Use only for short periods of time (no more than 15 minutes). Reinstall the back cushion if you want to restore to normal massage intensity. 7. 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. 8. Do not go to sleep while using the unit. Do not use the unit after drinking alcohol. 9. When the seat back is in a reclined position, do not sit on it or sit with your legs resting on the headrest. Do not sit on the legrest as the unit may fall over. 10.Do not allow children or pets to play on or around the unit, especially during operation. 11.Do not unplug the unit or turn it off during operation. Unplug the unit immediately if there is a power outage. 12.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. 13.Do not allow children to play on this mechanized furniture or operate the mechanism. Legrest folds down on closing so that a child could possibly be injured. Always leave in an upright and closed position. Keep hands and feet clear of mechanism. Only the occupant should operate it. 14.Remove hard objects, such as false fingernails, wristwatches or rings, when massaging hands or arms. Empty pockets of hard objects when massaging the area of the seat or thighs. 15.Always raise the back cushion 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.

OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: To avoid damaging the chair, follow these precautions:
1. The chair is designed for a maximum user weight of 264 lbs (120 kg). Exceeding the maximum weight may cause permanent damage to the massage mechanism and/or other components of the unit. Any such damage is deemed to be user abuse and is not covered under the Limited Warranty.
2. Do not sit on or drop the control panel. Do not pull the control panel cord or the power cord. Be careful not to catch the cord of the control panel between the armrest and the chair back.
3. Do not treat the chair roughly, such as turning the chair on its side, turning the chair over or standing on it. 4. 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. 5. If the massager functions abnormally, immediately turn off the power and have the massager checked by an
authorized service center. 6. Do not repeatedly operate any switch at short intervals. Such action may cause the switch to malfunction. 7. Some noise may be heard coming from the massager while in use. This is due to the structure of the massager
and is normal. 8. Make sure there are no obstacles behind the chair before reclining it. The chair can be reclined to a maximum
angle of 170°. If the back hits a wall or pillar, the chair may malfunction. Be sure to have ample space behind the chair. Recline the chair slowly in order to avoid contact with an obstacle. 9. 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. 10.After each massage, slide the power switch, which is located on the right side of the chair, to the “off” position and turn its lock switch to the “lock” position. 11.Do not sit on the chair with wet body or hair. 12.The unit must not be used in “wet rooms” (sauna, swimming pool) or outdoors. 13.Do not attempt to open or disassemble any part of the unit. Only use an authorized Panasonic servicer to fix your unit. Call 1-800-338-0552 to find the servicer nearest to you.

Target area for massage between armpits and shoulder blades on the outside of the shoulder.

Adjustments for the Shoulder Massage

Problem

Solution

A good massage cannot be obtained in the outer shoulder. · The massage is too strong or is hitting
your shoulder bones. · The massage plate is not contacting in
the right spot if you are small in stature.

Adjust the position of the plate until it feels right. · By sitting deeply in the seat, it is easier to have
good positioning. If you cannot find the ideal position even though you are deep in the seat, add a pillow or cushion on top of the seat to raise you up.

The plate contacts the pillow.

Adjust the pillow to the proper position. See page 38. When the pillow contacts the outer shoulder even if the position has been adjusted properly, remove the pillow or put a cushion on the seat so that the pillow comes above the outer shoulder massage.

You don’t like a massage using the plate.

Use the unit after removing the plate for the outer shoulder from the pocket.

Adjustments for the seat/thigh massage
Adjust the seat/thigh soft massage plate which is built into the fabric to your favorite position. It is effective for this to be pushing in on your hip joint and where you leg meets your hip.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem Motor Noises · It sounds and feels like the massage heads are straining to
get over wrinkles in the cloth. · The motor groans when it comes under load. · There is excessive noise during Tapping. (The noise is
greater at the top of the massage lounger.) · There is a creaking noise when the massage heads are in
operation. · There is a rattling sound when the massage heads move up
or down. · The belt can be heard rotating. · There is a rubbing sound produced by the massage heads
rubbing on the seat fabric. · There is a noise when the back cushion moves over the
armrest when the seat is reclining. · There is a noise when I sit down. · There is a strange sound when the massage heads move in
and out. · There is operational noise when applying air pressure. · There is a noise of discharging air. · The legrest rattles. · There is a humming sound from the pump. · There is operational noise of valves under the seat. · There is an unstable sound when air escapes during the leg
stretch. The massage heads stop during operation.
The massage heads do not come up to the shoulder or neck.
The height of the left and right massage heads is different.

Cause and Remedy These sounds are perfectly normal and will not have any effect on the operation of the unit.
If excessive force is applied to the massage heads during operation, in the interests of safety the massage heads may stop moving. If all markings and buttons on the control panel start to flash, which is extremely unusual, turn off the power switch, wait for approximately 10 seconds and then turn the power switch on again. If the massage heads stop again, position yourself so that your back is not completely in contact with the backrest. (Caution should be exercised particularly when used by persons weighing 220 lbs (100 kg) or more.) If your head does not contact the pillow or your back does not contact the backrest, the shoulder position may be detected as lower than the actual position during the body scanning. Sit on the seat in the deepest position and put your head on the pillow, and then repeat the operations again from the start.
(See page 19) An alternating tapping method is employed, which means that this phenomenon will naturally occur. There is nothing wrong with the unit.

It is not possible to recline the unit. The legrest cannot be raised or lowered.
Reclining does not take place even though a massage is started in pre- programs. (The seat does not automatically recline.)

If the unit encounters an obstacle or if excessive force is exerted on it during operation, in the interests of safety the unit will come to a stop. When all displays and buttons are flashing and the backrest or the legrest has stopped, turn off the power of the unit once, turn “on” the power again after approximately 10 seconds, and then operate the unit.
In some cases the seat may not automatically recline depending on the position (angle) of the backrest or the legrest.

The backrest does not return to the upright position.

If the unit is stopped by automatic shut-off or by pressing the button, it will not return automatically. (To return from the
reclined position to the original position, press the button twice.)
