Grounding Instructions for all grounded cord-connected products:

This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electronic shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether this product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch (A) (Standard Grounded Outlet). A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter used in sketches (B) (Adapter with Grounded Pin) and (C) (Adapter with Tab for Grounding Screw) may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in sketch (B), if a properly grounded plug is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (sketch A) can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored, rigid ear, lug or the like extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.

The use of a temporary adaptor is not permitted in Canada.

Do not attempt to repair this product yourself. This product is designed for personal in-home use. Commercial use will void warranty.

Get Ready: Simple Assembly

Your Human Touch massage chair requires some simple assembly (no tools required). Just install the headrest pad, position the lumbar pillow, and you're done!

Unpack the box

Components include: Chair, Lumbar pillow, Headrest pad.

1. Raise the backrest

   Pull up on the backrest handle, raise the backrest to a vertical position, then release the lever.

2. Attach the headrest pad

   Attach the headrest pad to the headrest, using the zipper.

3. Secure the headrest pad

   Pull the headrest pad firmly over the headrest and attach it to the back of the headrest using the hook-and-loop fasteners.

4. Position the lumbar pillow

   Place the lumbar pillow at the base of the backrest.

Take a Seat: Operating Your Chair

Using your Human Touch massage chair is easy! Just plug it in, turn it on, then use the backrest handle to adjust the backrest angle for maximum comfort.

1. Plug it in

   Plug the power cord into a grounded 120-volt power source.

2. Child safety lock

   Make sure child safety lock is set to Unlock. Setting the Child Safety Lock to the Lock position prevents the power switch from being turned on. Keep the child safety lock in the Locked position when unattended, to prohibit children from using the chair.

3. Power on

   Turn the master power switch (on the left-hand side of the chair) to ON.

4. Get comfortable

   While sitting in the chair, adjust the backrest by pulling the backrest handle up. Leaning backward or forward until you find a comfortable position. Release the handle.

Take Control: Massage Modes & Techniques

Now choose a massage mode to suit your mood. Your Human Touch massage chair lets you customise your massage using a wide variety of massage modes. Choose from three stationary massage modes and a rolling massage, or combine them! Use the Position buttons to target your massage to a specific area, or select one of the three auto massage programs and let the chair take control. No matter how you use it, your Human Touch massage chair offers maximum massage flexibility and refreshing benefits.

Remote Control Functions:

• Stop: Stops the massage and parks the massage rollers at the top of the backrest.
• Position: Use this button along with any stationary massage mode, to target the massage to the desired area of your back. You can press this button before or after selecting the massage mode.
• Power: Lights to indicate that master power switch is on.
• Zone: Targets your massage to a six-inch zone. Use the Position buttons to focus your massage on the desired area.
• Massage Programs: Massage the specified area of your back for 15 minutes, using a variety of massage techniques. The corresponding LED lights on the remote indicate which massage mode is currently in use.
  • Full: Massages your entire back.
  • Upper: Massages your upper back.
  • Lower: Massages your lower back.

When changing backrest direction, there is a slight pause while the chair gears shift. This is perfectly normal.

Massage Techniques:

Customize Massage Intensity

The massage-softening pad softens the massage intensity. For a stronger massage, remove the massage-softening pad.

To experience the full power of Human Touch, just remove the massage-softening pad. But keep it handy, in case you want to replace it in the future.

1. Flip the head pillow over the headrest, to the back of the chair.
2. Open the horizontal zipper on the front of the backrest.
3. Insert or remove the massage-softening pad, as desired.
4. Close the zipper.
5. Flip the head pillow over to the front of the chair.

Replacement massage-softening pads are available from Human Touch, for an additional charge.

Your Human Touch massage chair may have zips that are closed with a plastic Security Tie. Cut the Security Tie with a nail clipper or other suitable instrument. Take care to not cut the chair upholstery.
