procedures to change the operation settings positions.
(1)Move the chair to the position you want to use.
(2)Turn off the power switch, and then press and hold down a preset switch (P1, P2, or P3) while you
turn on the power switch.
(3)Continue to press and hold the preset switch for approximately three seconds until you hear an
electronic beep indicating that the position is set.
(4)Setting is completed when the electronic beep is emitted. Return the chair to its original position by
using the auto-return switch, and use the preset switch for which you have changed the setting to
make sure that the chair moves to the position you have set.
Be very careful when setting the position of the legrest that the customer's leg will not
contact equipment or other items near the chair.
<Changing Settings of the Preset Function>
Using Preset Switch P3
(Last and facial positions)
Although the preset function of preset switch P3 can be used to function in the same normal manner as
preset switches P1 and P2, you can change the setting of P3 to change it to a useful function that matches
the desired customer use (last and facial positions).
* As the setting when purchased is "Normal Preset Function", perform these procedures only if you
want to change the settings. Be careful to perform the procedures correctly because you might
mistakenly change other settings, resulting in faulty operation.
Last Position Function
You can use this function after you have finished cutting hair and moved the chair to the
shampoo position by using preset switch P3. Press preset switch P3 again to return the chair to
the position you were just using for the cut. This function is useful because you do not need to
readjust the chair by using this setting, making for smooth and easy cutting.
By setting the last position function for preset switch P3, the chair moves to the set position when you
press preset switch P3. After the procedures, press preset switch P3 to return the chair to the position of
when you previously pressed preset switch P3.

Facial Position Function
This function is useful as it allows you to recline and raise the chair without changing the height
of the customer. For example, you can use this function if you want to reduce the work time or
repeatedly check in the front mirror in the case of a facial service.
By setting the facial position function for preset switch P3, only the back and legrest move to the set
position (height does not change) when you press preset switch P3.
After the procedures, press preset switch P3 to return the back and legrest to the position of when you
previously pressed preset switch P3. (Height does not change.)
[Setting Procedures]
(1) Turn off the power switch, and step on the rotation lock switch, and press and hold the backrest up
switch while turning on the power switch.
(2) Continue to step on the rotation lock switch, and press and hold the backrest raise switch for
approximately three seconds until you hear an electronic beep. Check which function is set by checking
the tone of the beep. The setting changes in the following order: A => B => C => A
Perform procedures (1) and (2) repeatedly until reaching the desired function.
[Beep Tone]
A: Normal preset function...Continuous high-pitched beep
B: Last position function...Beep is repeated twice.
C: Facial position function...Beep is repeated three times.
(3) If setting to the last or facial position function, use preset switch P3 to first perform the previously
described "Changing Settings of the Preset Function".
* The settings are saved even if the power is turned off so that the function will operate in the same
manner as when the power was previously turned off and turned on.

Before using the auto-return function, make sure that no persons or objects are under
the legrest step or in the support arm area, and operate it safely.
Although the switches of the control panels are positioned slightly inset to prevent
body parts from touching them, keep body parts away from the operation panels as
much as possible. If a body part touches a switch, it will cause a faulty operation.
2. Auto-Return Function
Press the auto-return switch on the control panel (right or left) once. The chair height, backrest angle
and legrest position return to their initial position (position for getting in/out of chair). The auto-return
LED blinks rapidly during auto-return operation.
(An electronic "pough" sound is emitted to notify you that operation is starting.)
If any switch except for the legrest heater switch is pressed while the chair rotation lock is released,
chair rotation is locked automatically.
Cancel Function
Press any switch other than the legrest heater switch if you want to stop chair operation midway when
using the preset or auto-return switches. The cancel function operates to stop chair operation. (An
electronic beep is emitted when auto-return operation is canceled.)
