Operating Instructions

Power On/Off and Heat Settings

1. Power On: Press the power button on the LCD controller to turn on the heating pad. The indicator light will illuminate.

3. Automatic Shut-Off: The heating pad is equipped with a 90-minute automatic shut-off feature. After approximately 90 minutes of continuous use, the pad will automatically turn off. To restart, simply press the power button again.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet.
  • Verify that the controller is firmly connected to the heating pad.
  • Press the power button on the controller to turn the unit on.

  • Inspect the cord and controller for any visible damage. If damaged, discontinue use and contact customer support.
• Controller Malfunction:
  • If the controller buttons are unresponsive or the display is erratic, try unplugging the unit from the wall for a few minutes and then plugging it back in.
  • Ensure the controller is dry and free from moisture.
• Pad Feels Too Hot/Not Hot Enough:
  • Adjust the heat setting using the controller (Low, Medium, High).
