Instructions for Use

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is 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. Always make sure the unit is set to the “OFF” position before inserting the plug into a 120 volt electrical outlet.
2. To turn the unit on, simply press the POWER button located on the top of the handle. This will start the unit on the lowest setting. To increase the intensity of the massage, continue to press the POWER button until the desired intensity is reached. To turn the unit off, continue to press the POWER button past the highest intensity setting, which will reset the intensity cycle and power the unit off (refer to the diagram showing the unit's controls).
3. To turn the heat function on, the massager must be on. To activate the heat function, press the HEAT button located above the intensity bars on the top of the handle. To cancel the heat function, press the HEAT button a second time.
   • NOTE: The heat function works best when the attachments are removed and the red heat nodes are exposed.
   • NOTE: ❌ Do not use the heat continuously for more than 15 minutes. ❌ Do not use the heat if you have sensitive skin, poor circulation, discolored areas, swelling, burned, inflamed or where skin eruptions or sores are present. Heat should be pleasant and comfortable. Should pain or discomfort result, discontinue use and consult your physician.
4. Apply massager head lightly to the area you wish to massage.
5. Move the unit slowly, holding on the targeted area. Massage the area for a short period of time and move to another area. Never massage the same spot longer than 3 minutes. CAUTION - as stated in the “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS” section of this manual, never use this appliance on or near eyes or other highly sensitive areas.
6. Operation of longer than 15 minutes is not recommended and may cause overheating.
7. When massage is completed, turn unit off, unplug the power supply, allow to cool and store properly in a dry place.
