MEDICRYSTAL MATSTM SETUP FOR OPERATION
These are some important steps to start your
MediCrystal MatTM properly. If your area is subject to frequent electrical blackouts
or power spikes, it could be better to connect the device to
electricity through a surge protection device. It will protect the
controller from power surge caused faults. No urgent problem
if you have not one in hands, you can start your mat without
it, it’s just a precaution to protect your investment. Please, get
a surge protector as soon as it is convenient.
If you have any kind of medical issue or disease, it is
strongly recommended NOT TO USE the mat without the
Health Professional approval. This mat should not to be used
by infants, pregnant women, patients with organ transplants
or incapacitated persons. Do not use on heat sensitive skin,
face, genitals or where there is loss of feeling. Do not use
heat topicals with mat, skin burns may occur. If you have
pacemakers and implants of any kind, ask your doctor if Far
InfraRed (FIR) heat is safe for you. To ensure your safety with
the mat, please, study Contraindications, Precautions, Safety
Instructions and Usage Tips sections of this owner’s guide and
most important - CONSULT A DOCTOR before using thermal
therapy particularly on mid-range and high-level temperatures.*
Please, email to [email protected] the device

It may be benecial for sleeping, relaxation or other
therapeutic uses, but USE EXTREME CAUTION and be
careful to use only low level temperature settings while
using the mat for prolonged periods of time. Remember
that even if your mat can heat in a continuous mode, it is
strongly recommended not to use the high heat settings
without the Timer function for your safety!
The mats will not start to heat up unless you chose one of
timer settings.
MediCrystal MatsTM can work in continuous mode, but for
longer life and safety reasons it is recommended not to use the
continuous medium settings heating for more then 12 hours
and high heat modes for more then 4 hours.
The mat’s temperature can usually be set within the range
of 20°C to 70°C (68°F to 158°F) or 30°C to 70°C (86°F to
158°F) for some controllers modications. The temperature will
be displayed in degrees Celsius or corresponding temperature
levels from 1 to 9. Please, use the table for conversion to the
equivalent Fahrenheit temperature value.
Level 1 30°C 86°F
Level 2 35°C 95°F
Level 3 40°C 104°F
Level 4 45°C 113°F

functionality. Press the button to turn ON or OFF both
functions simultaneously.
3. NEGATIVE ION GENERATION
The MediCrystal Mats
TM
have a multilayer system
construction. The special layers (charcoal, fabric comprising
tourmaline powder, non woven fabric with anion generation
bers, etc) are added so the mats will generate negative ions
when they are turned on and functioning. Some ions are also
produced by the Amethyst, Tourmaline and Jade layer when the
mat is “OFF”. The controllers do not have special buttons for
activation of Negative Ions generation from the inner mat layers
because the ions generation starts automatically when the mat is
“ON” due to the piezoelectric and pyroelectric e󰀨ects caused by
the distorted by heat crystallographic structure of the mat's anion
generating layers and Amethyst, Tourmaline and Jade crystals.
The controller for the Pro and Midsize mats may have the
“Negative Ion” indicator lamp which indicates that the mat is
heating and negative ions are being generated by the inner mat
layers. The controllers for the other mats do not have a light
indicating the negative ions are being generated, but you can
be assured that the negative ions are still being created.
The negative ions generation will decrease when the mat
cools down. The number of ions goes up when you lay on the
non-powered mat as the Amethyst, Tourmaline and Jade and
negative ion generating layers use your body natural heat to
produce anions.
MediCrystal Mat™ construction provides negative ions
generation and far infrared deep penetration heating without
any harmful electromagnetic elds emissions. Full protection
from harmful EMF is provided by the double silicon insulation
of heating elements, and by the special EMI (electro magnetic
waves interceptor) layers with copper, charcoal ber and
aluminum foil. Heavy Amethyst layer also is known for
interception of EMFs generated by electronic devices in the
space around.

When unplugging the mat, do not pull on the cord, instead,
disconnect it from the outlet by pulling the plug directly.
DO NOT FOLD WHILE IN USE
The MediCrystal MatsTM are designed to lay at or wrap around
the body when in use, they should NOT be folded in half while
heating is “ON” or they will over-heat, the warranty on the mat
will be void and the life of the mat will be greatly diminished.
They may be folded after they are cool, turned o󰀨, and prepared
for storing.
FOR SAFETY, UNPLUG THE MAT
WHEN IT IS NOT IN USE.
TROUBLESHOOTING
The MediCrystal Mat is a top quality, durable product with
a long life. Our mats encounter only a very small percentage of
factory defects. They are manufactured under the strict quality
control of ISO, GMP and CE certication standards at an
FDA registered facility (one of the oldest in the manufacturing
business, with many years of consistent experience).
In the rare instance you may encounter a problem, it might
occur mainly due to a power spike (an electrical current surge
in the power line causing too much power to ow down the
line and “burn out” a device plugged into the line). This might
likely happen to electronic devices if they are not plugged
into a surge protector. The easiest solution to this problem
is to purchase a new controller for your mat (approximately
$50-$100 incl shipping).
Other reasons might include, the mat or controller being
dropped, some sort of heavy impact (sometimes happens
during parcel delivery) or improper use of the product. Consider
the instructional steps below to try and solve the problem you
may be having or contact the MediCrystal support team by
email for assistance: [email protected].
If the MediCrystal Mat controller is not working at all:
Ensure the controller’s mat plug is pushed all the way in
to the mat’s receptacle socket so that it is snug tight with
no space at all between the plug and the mat’s socket.
ALWAYS DO THIS FIRST!
Ensure the electrical wall socket that you’ve plugged the
mat into is working correctly. Plug another device into it to
ensure it is properly powering. If it is not working, consider
checking the electrical panel as a breaker may have
popped (or broken) and needs to be reset. Or try another
electrical wall socket that you have veried is powering
other devices.
If you are using a surge protector, ensure it is working
properly. Plug another electrical device into and verify that
it powers other devices just ne.
Make sure that the power button on the controller has been
turned on. If the MediCrystal Mat controller is still not
operating.
The controller’s fuse may have blown or it may be faulty and
should be replaced. Contact us via email for the replacement
process ([email protected]). We will provide you with
the instructions to send your broken part back to our service
center for repair as well as get the information from you we
need to send your replacement controller back out to you.
If the MediCrystal Mat is not heating:
FIRST – Unplug the controller from the wall and from the
mat.
SECOND – Plug the controller into the mat tightly.
THIRD – Plug the controller into a surge protected power
source so that it ts snug.
Check the Power button, ensure it’s been turned on and
rotate the temperature dial to increase the heat.
If you are operating the mat in an environment with
extremely low temperatures, the mat’s sensor can temporarily
malfunction.
DO NOT open the controller or try to get inside of it (to
access parts) while it is plugged into a power source.
