SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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

Grounding Instructions:

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.

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.

Get Ready

Your Human Touch iJoy massage chair requires some simple assembly (no tools required). Just attach the headrest to the chair, adjust it, and you're done!

Unpack the box:

• 1. Install the cup holder: Insert the cup holder liner and the cup holder lid.
• 2. Attach the headrest: Insert the two metal backrest posts into the holes on the top of the backrest.
• 3. Secure the headrest: Push down on the headrest to secure it firmly to the backrest.
• 4. Adjust the headrest: Push the headrest forward or backward to adjust it for maximum comfort.

To remove the headrest, insert both hands between the headrest and the backrest and locate each backrest post. Push the levers on each post to release the headrest. Pull up on the headrest to remove it.

The iJoy-250 control panel offers a convenience outlet, which enables you to plug in a low-wattage appliance such as a lamp or laptop. Do not plug in appliances that use wattages higher than 1 AMP, such as a vacuum or a hair dryer.

Take a Seat

1. Plug it in: Plug the power cord into a grounded power source.

2. Child safety lock: Make sure the 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. Locate the on-board controller: The on-board controller is conveniently located on the left-hand arm of the chair. The buttons are ergonomically aligned for easy use.

5. Get comfortable: Use the on-board controller recline buttons to adjust the backrest position.

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

Take Control

Now choose a massage mode to suit your mood. Your Human Touch iJoy massage chair lets you customize your massage using a wide variety of massage techniques. Choose from three stationary massage techniques and a rolling massage, or combine them! Use the Position and Zone 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 iJoy massage chair offers maximum massage flexibility and refreshing benefits.

• Power Recline: Effortlessly adjusts the backrest to a reclined or upright position.
• Stop/Auto park: Stops the massage and parks the massage rollers at the top of the backrest.
• Power: Lights to indicate that the master power switch is on.
• Position (up/down arrows): Use these buttons along with any massage technique, to target the massage to the desired area of your back. You can press this button before or after selecting the massage technique.
• Zone: Targets your massage to a six-inch zone. Use the Position buttons to focus your massage on the desired area.
• Massage Programs: Massages 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.

1. Open the 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.

Care and Maintenance

To keep your product working and looking its best, please follow these simple care guidelines.
