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 normal 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 tab 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.

Grounding methods:

For all grounded cord-connected products:

Diagram Description: Figure (A) shows a grounded outlet with a grounding pin. Figure (B) shows a grounding adapter with a tab for a grounding screw. Figure (C) shows a metal screw connecting the adapter tab to a grounded outlet box.

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

Get Ready

Unpack the box

Your Human Touch massage chair comes fully assembled – simply connect the power cord and plug it in. Install the head pillow and/or Luxury Ergo Pillow, and you're done!

Contents: Chair, Luxury Ergo Pillow, Power cord, Neck pillow.

1. Connect the power cord

Plug one end of the power cord into the power panel AC power jack and the other end into a 120-volt wall outlet.

Power panel

The Human Touch massage chair power 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.

2. Install the head pillow

Place the head pillow flap over the top of the headrest to secure the headrest in the desired position. The weighted pillow flap keeps the head pillow in place.

3. Place the Luxury Ergo Pillow

You may want to place the Luxury Ergo Pillow at the base of the backrest, as the pillow helps to position your body properly for foot and calf massages.

4. Power on

Turn the power switch to On [I]. The LED lights [?] to confirm that the chair is receiving power.

To hear the chair voice response when you select an Auto Massage Program or Acupoint detection on the remote control, turn the Voice Response button located on the back of the chair to On [I]. See page 14 for more information.

Install the Fine Floor Protector

Your Human Touch massage chair is a powerful precision instrument. An optional Floor Protector is included to ensure smooth operation on fine wood, tile, or thick-pile carpeted floors. Installing the Floor Protector guards against possible floor damage due to long-term, repeated foot and calf massager deployment.

1. Deploy the foot and calf massager

Press the legs-up button on the remote control to fully deploy the foot and calf massager. Pull up on the footrest release handle (located on the right-hand side of the footrest), then rotate the footrest away from the chair until there is enough room to reach underneath the front of the chair.

2. Place the Fine Floor Protector

For your safety, before installing the Floor Protector, be sure to turn off the chair at the main power switch and unplug the power cord. Lift the foot and calf massager wheels a few inches off of the floor. With the hook-and-loop fastener strip facing down, slide the Floor Protector into place as shown.

3. Secure the Fine Floor Protector

Align the hook-and-loop fasteners on the underside of the Floor Protector with the hook-and-loop fasteners on top of the chair crossbar. Press the hook-and-loop edge of the Floor Protector firmly into place to secure it.

4. Complete the installation

Remove any packaging materials left under or around the chair during installation. Return the foot and calf massager to its original locked position. Plug in the chair and turn it on. Press the legs-down button to retract the foot and calf massager.

Remove the Fine Floor Protector before moving the chair to a new location.

Take a Seat

Using your Human Touch massage chair is easy. Just take a seat, deploy the foot and calf massager, adjust the backrest, and you're ready for the massage of your choosing. Your Human Touch massage chair expertly soothes tired muscles from head to toe, using a wide variety of massage techniques that you control.

1. Deploy the foot and calf massager

Before deploying the foot and calf massager, be sure the area in front of the chair is clear of any obstructions. While sitting in the chair, use the remote control legs-up button to fully deploy the foot and calf massager.

To accommodate shorter legs, use the remote control legs-down button to retract the foot and calf massager back a few inches. IMPORTANT: The calf massager must be within a few inches of the fully deployed position to work.

Do not stand or sit on the footrest.

2. Insert your legs into the foot and calf massager

Place your feet all the way into the foot and calf massage wells. The bottom of your feet and the back of your calves should be touching the well walls. Should you accidentally attempt to retract the footrest while your legs are in the foot and calf massager, the Human Touch massage chair automatically turns off to protect you from injury.

When changing direction (from Recline to Incline and from Leg Up to Leg Down), there is a slight pause while the chair gears shift. This is perfectly normal.

3. Adjust the backrest

Before adjusting the backrest, be sure the area behind the chair is clear of any obstructions. Use the remote control recline and incline buttons to adjust the backrest angle for maximum comfort.

4. Converting the foot and calf massager to a footrest

1. While sitting in the chair, pull up on the footrest release handle (located on the right-hand side of the footrest to release the footrest.)
2. Rotate the footrest away from the chair until it locks into position with the smooth side facing up.
3. Release the footrest release handle.

For an easier exit, retract the footrest and restore the backrest to a full upright position before getting out of the chair.

Make sure the area behind/underneath the footrest is clear of any obstructions before retracting the footrest.

With the foot and calf massager on top, press and hold the legs-down button to retract the footrest. Press and hold the Restore button to return the backrest to a full upright position.
