Instructions for Use

To reduce the risk of electric shock, 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.

Locate the included adapter and insert the adapter jack into the plug on the mat.
Lay the stretch mat on the floor, and lie flat on your back on top of the mat. Refer to the control descriptions below for instructions on how to use the hand control.

Product Controls

The HoMedics Air Compression Back Stretching Mat is operated via a wired hand control:

POWER BUTTON: To turn on the stretch mat, press the Power button. The blue LED will illuminate. Next, select a program.
SUSPEND BUTTON: When enjoying one of the 4 programs, you may choose to pause the program and take a break. Pressing the “suspend” button will cause all airbags to deflate. When you are ready to resume the program, pressing the suspend button again will restart the program from where you left off.
PROGRAMS: Select a program button to enjoy 1 of 4 custom stretching programs that inflate the airbags in a pre-programmed sequence. The available programs are Twist, Flow, Energize, and Stretch.
INTENSITY: Once your program is selected, you may choose from 3 intensities. Press the up arrow (⬆️) to increase intensity, and the down arrow (⬇️) to decrease intensity. The higher the intensity, the more the airbags will inflate, and the more intense your stretch will become. It is recommended you begin on intensity level 1, and increase if needed. The white LEDs will illuminate to indicate what level of intensity has been selected.
