communication.
Operation is terminated because there is a problem with the massage 
mechanism.

These sounds are perfectly normal and will not have any effect on the operation of the unit.
The massage heads stop during operation.
(All the displays and buttons on the controller will flash and then turn off.)
If excessive force is applied to the massage heads during operation, in the interests of safety the massage heads may stop 
moving. 
If all markings and buttons on the controller start to flash, which is extremely unusual, turn off the power switch, wait for 
appro ximately 10

 seconds and then turn the power switch on again.
If the massage heads stop again, position yourself so that your back is not completely in contact with the backrest. 
[Caution should be e x

ercised particularly when used by persons weighing 221 lbs (100 kg) or more.]
It is not possible to recline the unit.
The legrest cannot be raised or lowered.
(All the displays and buttons on the controller will flash and then turn off.)
If the unit encounters an obstacle or if excessive force is exerted on it during operation, in the interests of safety the unit 
will come to a stop.
When all displays and buttons are flashing and the backrest or the legrest has stopped, turn off the power of the unit once, 
tur n 

“on” the power again after approximately 10 seconds, and then operate the unit.
The massage heads do not come up to the shoulder or neck.
If your head does not contact the pillow or your back does not contact the backrest, the shoulder position may be detected 
as lower than the actual position during the body scanning. Sit on the seat in the deepest position and put your head on 
the pillo w

, and then repeat the operations again from the start.  (See page 18)
The height of the left and right massage heads is different.
An alternating tapping method is employed, which means that this phenomenon will naturally occur. There is nothing wrong 
with the unit.
Reclining does not take place even though a massage is started in pre-programs.
(The seat does not automatically recline.)
Automatic reclining will not activate when the backrest is reclined to flat position more than massage position and legrest is 
in upper position.
The backrest does not return to the upright position.
If the unit is stopped by automatic shut-off or by pressing the  button, it will not return automatically. 
(To return from the reclined position to the original position, press the 
 button twice.)
