Setting Examples for Self Program
(A), (B) and (C) below are provided as examples of how you can use the self program to create a massage 
using different time settings for different parts of your body.
(A) “My neck and shoulders are 
always particularly stiff, so I’ll focus 
the massage on my neck and 
shoulders.”(B) “My upper back and lower back are 
the only parts that feel tired today, 
so I’ll just massage my upper and 
lower back.”(C) “I’ve had a pre-program massage, 
but now I’d like to massage just 
my legs for awhile.”

Order of Massage for Upper Body
About the Time Settings in Self Program 
• The type and duration of massage actions in self program are determined according to different areas of 
the body based on the time settings. 
• Areas are massaged in order of the longest to the shortest time setting.
• When two areas are set to the same time setting, the massage will proceed in order of the neck and 
shoulders, the upper back and the lower back areas.
When the Time Setting is Zero
• An area of the body set at zero will not receive any massage. In the case of the upper body, however, the 
massage heads may travel over that area as they move to the next massage area. 
• The upper body will not receive any massage when all settings for the upper back, lower back, and neck 
and shoulders are at zero.

The pre-program massages were created based on 
massages practiced by professional massage therapists in 
accordance with the aim of each program. The user 
memory function preserves the basic massage actions of 
these programs and allows them to be used as a base 
upon which to build personalized massages. For this 
reason, the maximum number of repeated actions that may 
be recorded is eight, so that a massage cannot be focused 
on one area of the body. Please use either the self program 
or manual operation when you want a massage that 
focuses on a particular area of the body.
