Pre-Programs
The massager includes two pre-programmed routines that automatically cycle through various massage actions and speeds. These programs run for approximately 90 to 100 seconds before completing.
Using the Easy Reach Design
The unique elbow-angled design of the EV2610K allows users to comfortably reach difficult areas such as the lower, middle, and upper back without straining. Hold the handle firmly and position the massage head as desired.
Applying the Massager
- Back: Utilize the easy-reach design to apply the massager to your back. Move it slowly over the desired areas.
- Arms and Legs: The wide surface of the massage head is suitable for a gentle rubbing massage on arms and legs.
- General Use: Apply light to moderate pressure. Avoid pressing too hard, as this can reduce the effectiveness of the percussion action. Move the massager in slow, circular, or up-and-down motions.
Maintenance and Care
Cleaning
- Ensure the massager is unplugged from the power outlet before cleaning.
- Wipe the surface of the massager with a soft, slightly damp cloth.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals.
- Do not immerse the massager in water or any other liquid.
- Allow the massager to dry completely before storing or next use.
Storage
- Store the massager in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and excessive heat.
- Avoid wrapping the power cord tightly around the massager, as this can damage the cord.
- Keep out of reach of children.
Troubleshooting
Automatic Shut-off
The Panasonic EV2610K is equipped with an automatic shut-off feature that activates after approximately 15-20 minutes of continuous use. This is a safety mechanism to prevent overheating of the device.
- Solution: If the massager shuts off during use, simply turn the power switch to 'OFF' and then back to 'ON' to resume operation. Allow a brief cooling period if the device feels warm.
Device Not Powering On
- Check Power Connection: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into both the massager and a functional electrical outlet.
- Test Outlet: Try plugging another appliance into the same outlet to confirm it is receiving power.
- Inspect Cord: Check the power cord for any visible damage. If damaged, discontinue use and contact customer support.
Reduced Massage Intensity
If the massage intensity feels weaker than expected, especially with percussive actions:
- Adjust Pressure: Applying too much pressure against the body can dampen the percussive action. Try reducing the pressure to allow the massager to operate more freely.
- Check Speed Setting: Ensure the massager is set to the desired speed (Low or High).
