Instructions for Use

To reduce the risk of electrocution, 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 power button a second
time. 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 first press of the power button turns the unit on; the second press
turns on the heat function with massage and the third press turns the
unit off.)

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.
