CAUTION
1. Pull the headrest out to the desired position beforehand if you need to use it.
2. Press the preset switch (indicating P1 or P2) on the control panel once. The chair moves to the
previously set position.
Although the setting positions of the preset switches are previously set when shipped from the
factory, you can change the settings to positions that match your customers. There are only two
seat tilting positions available: the neutral position and the relaxation position. When shipped from
the factory, the seat is set to the neutral position.
Perform the following procedures to change the preset positions.
(1) Move the chair to the desired position.
(2) Press and hold the preset switch for approximately three seconds until you hear an electronic
beep indicating that the position is set.
(3) 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 so that the customer's
leg will not contact any equipment or other items in the front.
• Perform position setting with a person sitting in the chair. The chair is equipped
with a shockless device. Accordingly, the final operating position varies slightly
if position setting is performed without a person sitting in the chair.
• The seat cannot be operated when it is place above its neutral position.

2. Using the auto-return function
Press the auto-return switch on the control panel (right or left).
The chair height, backrest angle, legrest position, and seat position return to their original positions
automatically.
WARNING
The position set by the auto-return switch is already configured when the chair is shipped from the
factory. The seat tilting position, on the other hand, can be set according to the customer's
preferences either to the neutral or relaxation position. When the chair is shipped from the factory,
the seat tilting position is set to neutral.
Perform the following procedures to change the preset positions.
(1) Change the seat tilting position to either the neutral or relaxation position.
(2) Press and hold the auto-return switch for approximately three seconds until you hear an
electronic beep indicating that the position is set.
(3) Setting is completed when the electronic beep is emitted. Use the seat operation switch to raise
the seat, and then use the auto-return switch to confirm that the position has been set correctly.
Press any switch other than the vibration 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.
