Troubleshooting
Problem
Cause and Remedy
The unit stops during 
operation.
For safety purposes, operation may stop when 
excessive force is applied to the unit.
Turn off the power switch, wait 10 seconds and then switch it back 
on for operation.
It is not possible to recline the unit.
The leg rest cannot be raised or 
lowered.
( All the displays and buttons on the 
controller will flash and then turn off.)
If the unit encounters an obstacle or if excessive force is exerted on it 
during operation, in the interests of safety the unit will come to a stop.
When all displays and buttons are flashing and the backrest or the leg 
rest has stopped, turn off the power of the unit once, turn “on” the 
power again after approximately 10 seconds, and then operate the unit.
The massage heads do not 
come up to the shoulder or 
neck.
If your head does not contact the pillow or your back does not contact the backrest, 
the shoulder position may be detected as lower than the actual position during the 
body scanning. Sit on the seat in the deepest position and put your head on the 
pillow, and then repeat the operations again from the start.  See page EN26.
The height of the left and right 
massage heads is different.
An alternating tapping method is employed, which means that this phenomenon 
will naturally occur. There is nothing wrong with the unit. 
See page EN54.
Reclining does not take place even though 
a massage is started in automatic course.
(The seat does not automatically recline.)
Automatic reclining will not activate when the backrest is reclined 
to flat position more than massage position and leg rest is in upper 
position. 
See page EN55.
The backrest does not 
return to the upright 
position.
If the unit is stopped by automatic shut-off or by pressing 
, it will not return automatically. 
(To return from the reclined position to the original position, press 
 twice.)
Investigate the Problem and follow appropriate the Cause and Remedy below. 
If the problem still exists after following the remedy, contact an authorized service center. 
Heat massage heads do 
not get warm.  
●

● 
Sense of warmth from the massage heads differs depending on your body 
shape, the massage body part, massage action, clothing, and room temperature.
The Foot Heat does not 
get warm.
●

The “Foot Heat” warms the toe portion of the cloth.
 
Sense of warmth from the “Heat” (heater) section differs depending on 
your body shape, the massage body part, massage action, clothing, and 
room temperature.  
Raise the leg/sole massage section during use so that soles of your feet 
touch this section to feel the heat from the heater section. You can also 
place a blanket over your knees and lower legs to feel even warmer.
The Heat massage heads or 
Foot Heat do not cool down 
even after being turned off.
● 
Because of the structure of the heater, the “Heat” massage heads 
will feel warm for a while after heating due to the residual heat.
● 
Continuing to massage the same area even after turning off the “Heat” 
massage heads and the “Foot Heat” switch may increase the temperature felt.
