INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
The cushion comes with a screw located on the back of the unit to protect the massage mechanism
during shipment, which must be removed before the first use to allow the unit to function properly. Use
the provided allen wrench. Then, properly dispose of the screw. Warning: Failure to remove screw
may cause permanent damage to the massage cushion.
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.
CAUTION: All servicing of this massager must be performed by authorized HoMedics service
personnel only.

electrical outlet to power unit.

6–7 for instructions on the use of the hand control.
CUSTOM APP
Smart device users can go to your app store to download our MCS-1000H Massage Chair custom massage
app. This app will allow you to create and save your own unique massage programs.

The cushion may be operated with or without the removable cover. Just use the included Velcro®strip at
the top of the cover to attach or remove the cover from the cushion.
STRAPPING SYSTEM
The cushion incorporates a unique strapping system that allows you to fasten it to almost any chair. Just slip the
straps over the seat or chair and adjust fastening straps to secure. Your massager won’t slip or slide away.
