Features
Your Repose Massage Lounger massages your
upper back, lower back, neck, and shoulders
using mechanisms that simulate massage
techniques similar to the touch of human hands.
Roll - During the Roll massage the massage
mechanism rolls up and down without any other
motion of the massage heads.
Knead - During the Knead massage function, the massage mechanism
moves in a circular motion.
Knock - In the Knock mode, the massage mechanism rolls up and down as
the massage heads tap in an oscillating pattern.
Note: During Knead and Knock massage modes, the position of the massage
mechanism can be moved up or down by selecting the Roll massage mode.
Combination - The massage modes can be combined. For example, you can
use the Roll mode while using either the Knead or Knock modes or all at the
same time
Vibe Modes
There are two different vibration modes to help relax your muscles.
Knead Knock Combination

REPOSE R300 User Guide

Buttocks Vibe Leg Vibe
Automatic Massage - In this mode, a combination of all massage patterns
are performed giving a thorough massage.
Neck, Back, Waist, and Shoulders
The backrest massage mechanism moves up and down your neck, shoulders,
back, and waist using knock and knead massage actions.
Calf Muscles and Back of Legs
Your calf muscles and the back of your legs are massaged using airbags. The
airbags are coordinated to simulate a “wave style” of massage which may
help to increase blood circulation.
In the seat of your Repose Massage Lounger, there are
3 airbags programmed to inflate and deflate in sequence
giving a continuous overlapping massage on the back of
your legs and buttocks.
Airbags are also used to massage your calf muscles. In
the leg rest, there are eight airbags that inflate and
deflate. As one airbag inflates, another airbag deflates
creating a wave motion.
