Grounding Instructions

For all grounded cord-connected products:

Grounding methods:

Diagram Description: Three sketches illustrate grounding methods. Sketch (A) shows a standard grounded outlet with a three-prong plug connecting to a grounded outlet. Sketch (B) shows a temporary adapter used to connect a three-prong plug to a two-prong receptacle. Sketch (C) is a close-up of the adapter, showing the tab for the grounding screw.

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). A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter used in sketches (B) and (C) 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. ? [grounding symbol]

❗ WARNING: This product is equipped with a thermal resetting protection device. This is an added safety feature to protect you and this product from overheating. If the product should suddenly stop and will not start, turn the main power switch, located on the back of the product, to OFF (⏹️) and do not operate the product for at least 30 minutes. Failure to turn the product off may result in the product starting unexpectedly when the product cools.

Massage Techniques

Massage Technique What it Does Benefits
Kneading Kneads your back in a small, circular motion on both sides of your spine simultaneously. Relieves tension and soreness by lifting and stretching muscles. Improves circulation and helps bring vital nutrients to the spinal area.
Compression Presses on spinal muscles and spinal joint areas using alternating strokes and a gentle rocking motion, emulating a technique used in sports medicine and in spinal therapy by chiropractors. Spreads and puts pressure on deep muscle tissue, forcing it to relax, while the rocking motion loosens spinal joints. Aids in muscle and joint repair due to strain from exercise, long hours bent over a desk, or just day-to-day stress, and can improve mobility and overall posture.
Percussion Alternates rapid-tapping strokes along the spine to stimulate both spinal muscles and spinal joint areas, emulating the percussive massage technique used in sports medicine for deep muscle therapy. Flexes spinal joints and relieves pressure on the spinal column, invigorating the entire back area.
Rolling Rolls gently up and down your back near your spine. Warms and loosens your muscles, preparing your back for deeper massage. Relieves muscle tension, improves circulation and relaxes the back.

Diagram Description: Illustrations depict the motion of each massage technique: Kneading (circular motion), Compression (pressing strokes), Percussion (rapid tapping), and Rolling (up/down motion).

Customize Massage Intensity & Care and Maintenance

Customize Massage Intensity

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

To remove the pad:

  1. Open the horizontal zipper (?) on the front of the backrest.
  2. Remove the massage-softening pad from the pocket.
  3. Close the zipper.

You can re-insert the massage-softening pad in the future, following these same steps.

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

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.

Your Human Touch iJoy 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.
