Instructions for Use
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this unit 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. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
1. Plug into a 120-volt outlet.
2. It is highly recommended that the foot massager be used with socked feet. Do not use the unit with shoes.
3. Place massager on the floor in front of your chair or seat. 4. To activate massage action, press Power button once. The LED illuminator will glow blue (Fig. 1).
TIP: By changing the pressure of your feet on the massager, it will change the feel of the massage. If the unit tickles you, then you may need to apply more pressure or you may need to become accustomed to the sensation. If the massage feels too strong, you may need to lighten the pressure of your feet on the unit.
5. To activate soothing heat with the massage, press the Power button a second time. The LED illuminator will glow red (Fig. 2). Allow a few moments for the heating action to warm up.
6. When finished, turn the unit “OFF” and unplug. “OFF” is reached by pressing the Power button until the unit turns off. (The first press of the power button turns on the massage function; the second press turns on the soothing heat function, and the third press turns the unit off.)
NOTE: As a safety feature, the soothing Heat function cannot be used alone.
Caution: All servicing of this massager must be performed by authorized HoMedics service personnel only.
