SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
PARTS IDENTIFICATION  
HOUSEHOLD AIR MASSAGER  
WARNING: To avoid the risk of injury:  
1. Pregnant women, people who are ill, in poor physical health or undergoing medical  
treatment, and people suffering back, neck, shoulder or hip pain should consult their doctor  
before using the appliance. If you have a pacemaker, defibrillator, or other personal medical  
device, be aware that this product contains a speaker magnet located in the lumbar area.  
Consult with the manufacturer of your device before using the appliance, or before using any  
vibrating device. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.  
2. Do not use on bare skin; always wear clothing. Thin fabrics enhance the massage action, but  
using directly on the skin can cause irritation.

3. Do not use for massaging the head, Adams apple, elbows or knees.  
4. Do not use the air massage and the vibration for more than 15 minutes at a time.  
5. If you begin to feel sick while using the appliance or find the massage action painful or  
uncomfortable, stop the massage immediately.  
6. Do not allow children or pets to play near the appliance, especially while it is in use.  
7. Before sitting on the appliance, check the position of the air nodes. Ease yourself gently into  
position, as hurried mounting may cause injury or accident.  
8. 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.

If the appliance is left for 60 minutes unused, the On/Offswitch will automatically revert to off.  
NOTE: When not using the appliance for long periods of time, please turn off the main power  
switch on the air compressor and then unplug it. (Due to standby power consumption, the  
appliance will consume 5W of power even with the On/Offswitch on the controller turned off.)

1. Make sure the compressor cable is connected to the  
air compressor. See picture on page 5.  
2. Make sure that the compressor cable is not crimped.  
If it is, this will stop air flow to the Air Massager.  
3. Turn on the main power switch on the air compressor,  
making sure the unit is plugged in. Make sure the

main power switch is illuminated. The air  
compressor provides air to the Air Massager, and is  
also the power source for the Air Massager.

4. To operate the air massage, press the On/Off”  
switch at the top of the controller. Make sure that  
the operating lamp comes on. If it does not, check  
the connection between the air compressor and the  
Air Massager, and make sure the unit is on.  
Lumbar  
5. Select any one of the air massage selection switches. If you just want to have lumbar  
support, push this button only.  
6. Areas being massaged are indicated by the air massage display lamps.  
7. The Air Massager can be used upright, slightly reclined, or lying down. Weight limit is 264  
pounds (120 kN).  
8. Please note that the intensity of the air massage cannot be controlled by the intensity  
adjustment buttons. This intensity control is only for the vibration functions.  
However, the intensity of the air massage can be enhanced when you use it in a reclined, or  
lying down position. Your own body weight on the air nodes provides for a stronger massage.

NOTE: The design of the air nodes causes them to make a slight popping noise when  
separating ones body from the product. This is not a malfunction. It is just the sound of the air  
nodes returning to their original shape. Some noise may be heard coming from the appliance  
while in use. This is due to the construction of the appliance and is normal.

To prevent excessive use, a built-in timer automatically switches the massage off 15 minutes  
after the start of the air massage, if no switches for air massage are pressed. If the Air  
Massager is not operated for approximately 15 minutes after the air massage has been  
switched off by the timer, the On/Offswitch will also be automatically switched off.

SONIC VIBRATION: TURNING ON AND OFF  
CONNECTING TO AUDIOVISUAL EQUIPMENT  
ENJOY MUSIC OR A VIDEO WHILE YOU RELAX  
1. To use the sonic vibration, make sure the On/Offswitch at the top  
of the controller is on. Make sure that the operating lamp comes on.  
2. If you do not have any audio input, but still want to experience  
vibration, select the Vib.switch. This will go through an  
approximately 15 minute program of vibrations in your back area.  
You can change the intensity of the vibration by holding down the  
up/down arrows on the intensity adjustment buttons.  
The Household Air Massager uses a built-in sonic transducer to create sonic vibrations. By  
connecting the cables supplied with the Household Air Massager to audiovisual equipment, you  
can feel sound as vibrations synchronized with the bass of an audio frequency.  
3. If you are using an audio input (see instructions on page 8 for  
hooking it up), you can experience vibrations that are  
synchronized to the lower frequencies of the audio. To experience  
this, hit the Sonic Audioswitch. Again, you can adjust the intensity  
of the synchronized vibrations with the intensity up/down arrows.  
Sonic vibration intensity is adjustable to different 9 levels. Pressing  
an adjustment button twice will move the indicator light up or down  
one position.  
In the case of an RCA-type audio  
output  
Use the 20-ft cable and connect the  
minijack to the appliance and the RCA  
red and white plugs to the audio output  
of a television, etc.

Automatic timer for sonic vibration  
In the case of a minijack-type audio  
output  
Sonic Audiois designed to switch off automatically after 75 minutes of continuous use, if no  
intensity adjustment buttons are pushed during that time. This will be extended by 75 minutes,  
even after turned off by the timer, by touching the Sonic Audioswitch. Vib.is designed to  
shut off after approximately 15 minutes, if no intensity adjustment buttons are pushed.  
Even if automatically turned off, you can easily return to the previous vibration intensity by  
pressing the Sonic Audioor Vib.switch.  
Connect the minijack on one end of the  
5-ft cable to the appliance and the other  
minijack to the audio output of a CD  
Personal

If the Air Massager is not operated for approximately 15 minutes after Sonic Audioor Vib.”  
have been switched off by the timer, the On/Offswitch will also be automatically switched off.  
(not included)  
When the only available audio output  
is a headphone jack  
To listen with headphones: Connect the  
headphone double adaptor jack plug to  
the headphone jack of a television etc.,  
then use a minijack on one end of the  
5-ft cable to connect to the appliance  
and the other minijack to connect to the  
MAINTENANCE  
When cleaning the massager, always unplug first.  
When the covering material needs cleaning, gently apply a little liquid soap, wipe with a damp  
cloth and allow to dry naturally. When plastic parts need cleaning, wipe with a soft cloth dipped  
in a mixture of lukewarm water and liquid soap.  
Do not use paint thinner, benzene or other solvent-based cleaners, as chemical substances  
may cause discoloration or damage.
