Setup and Operation

Follow these steps to set up and operate your BodyMed Digital Moist Heating Pad:

Setup

1. Ensure the heating pad is covered with the provided fleece cover.
2. Plug the power cord into a standard 110V electrical outlet.
3. Place the heating pad over the area of your body you wish to treat.

Operating Instructions

1. Power On: Gently press the power button (usually marked with a circle and vertical line) on the digital controller to switch the unit on.
2. Set Temperature and Time: Use the "Select" button and the "Up" and "Down" arrows on the controller to set your desired treatment temperature and time. The temperature range is typically 121°F to 151°F (49.4°C to 66.1°C). The timer can be set in one-minute increments up to one hour.
3. Heating Process: The pad will begin to heat up. It takes several minutes to reach the set temperature.
4. Lock Controls: To prevent accidental changes during treatment, press the "Lock" button (often indicated by a padlock icon) on the controller. This feature keeps your settings secure.
5. Automatic Shut-Off: When the set time expires, the power will automatically shut off, accompanied by an audible beep.
6. Memory Function: The latest temperature and time settings will be automatically memorized when you turn the product off. To return to the initial factory settings, unplug the unit from the outlet.

For normal treatment, a 15-minute cycle is often sufficient. A total treatment duration of about 30 minutes is generally recommended.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and effectiveness of your heating pad:

• Cleaning the Cover: The fleece cover is washable. Refer to the care label on the cover for specific washing instructions. Always remove the cover from the heating pad before washing.
• Cleaning the Pad: Do not immerse the heating pad or controller in water. If cleaning the pad itself is necessary, wipe it gently with a damp cloth and allow it to air dry completely before storage or next use.
• Storage: Store the unit in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, high temperatures, and high humidity. Do not twist or tightly wrap the power cord around the controller or pad during storage.
• Moisture Generation: The pad draws moisture from the air. If you notice it is not producing sufficient moist heat, you may hang it in a humid environment (like a bathroom after a shower) to allow it to absorb more humidity.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your BodyMed Digital Moist Heating Pad, consider the following:

• Pad Not Heating:
  • Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working 110V outlet.
  • Verify the unit is powered on and the temperature setting is active.
  • Check if the timer has expired, as the unit will automatically shut off.
  • Inspect the power cord and controller for any visible damage. Do not use if damaged.
• Display Not Working:
  • Ensure the unit is properly plugged in and powered on.
  • If the display remains blank, unplug the unit for a few minutes and then plug it back in to reset.
• Insufficient Moist Heat:
  • The pad draws moisture from the air. If your environment is very dry, the pad may produce less moisture. Try hanging the pad in a more humid area for a period to allow it to absorb moisture.

If problems persist after attempting these troubleshooting steps, please contact BodyMed customer support for assistance.
