2.2 What is Shiatsu massage?

Shiatsu is a form of finger pressure massage and one of the most important massaging techniques along with manual lymphatic drainage and reflexology. This form of physical therapy was developed in Japan but stems from traditional Chinese massage. Gentle stroking and beneficial pressure application techniques are used to awaken life forces and encourage them to flow through the body. The object of the massage is not just to ease tension, but also to optimise the flow of life force and harmonise body and soul.

2.3 How does the MEDISANA Shiatsu massage seat cover work?

In the MEDISANA Shiatsu massage seat cover RBI you have a modern device for genuine Shiatsu style back massages.

The MEDISANA Shiatsu massage seat cover RBI has four rotating massage heads for Shiatsu massage of the three zones "Upper Back", "Lower Back" and "Full Back". The device is equipped with an additional 3-level vibration function and an infrared heat function in the massage heads. The unique combination of intensive Shiatsu and vibration massage with radiated heat makes the massage seat cover an effective and relaxing treatment. Their settings can be comfortably adjusted by means of the easy-to-handle control unit 10.

3.2 Operation

Start-up

3 Operating

MEDISANA® home of wellness

Use the buttons on control pad 10 to operate the massage seat cover:

- Switch on the device by pressing On/Off button 12. The blue power LED illuminates.

- When the "Upper Back" massage button ⑥ is pressed, the green LED next to the button illuminates and the Shiatsu massage heads ③ move from the "Park" position at the base of the backrest, up to the shoulder area, massaging the back in a circular motion whilst doing so. Once the uppermost position has been reached, the direction of rotation of the massaging heads is reversed. The heads then travel down to the centre of the back. Once the heads reach this point, the direction of rotation is reversed again and then travel up the back again. If you press button ⑥ during the massage, this function is switched off and the massage heads remain stationary in their current position.

- If you press the "Lower Back" massage button ⑦, the green LED next to the button illuminates. The Shiatsu massage heads ③ travel up and down the lower half of the back in a circular motion. The reversal of the direction of rotation takes place when the respective end positions are reached. Pressing button ⑦ during the massage, switches off this function and the massage heads remain stationary in their current position.

- If you press the "Full Back" massage button 11 the function procedure is similar to pressing buttons 6 and 7, except that it is for the entire back.

- You can enhance the shiatsu massage at any time with a vibration massage for your thighs by pressing the vibration massage button 8.

- The vibration massage in the upper thigh area can be operated separately by pressing vibration massage button ⑧. The green LED next to the button illuminates and both vibration massage motors ④ are switched on. They begin with a gentle massage. Press button ⑧ again and the vibration level increases (medium intensity massage). Press button ⑧ a third time and the vibration level increases (highest intensity massage). After button ⑧ is pressed a fourth time, the vibration massage is switched off and the green LED next to the button extinguishes.

- The heat function can be activated at any time with the shiatsu massage, during which the vibration massage can also be activated. Press the infrared heat button ⑨ to activate the function; the red LED lights up. The heat is radiated through the massage heads ③. Press the button ⑨ again to deactivate the heat function; the red LED goes out.

- To switch off the device: Press the On/Off button 12. The blue power LED begins to flash and the massage heads travel back down to the "Park" position. When this position is reached, the blue LED extinguishes. If you press the On/Off button 12 when one of the massage functions is switched on, the vibration motors just stop immediately. First the massage heads travel downwards to the "Park" position. The blue LED flashes meanwhile and then extinguishes.

- After each use, switch the device off using the On/Off switch 12 and remove the plug 2 from the mains socket. Always store control pad 10 in its bag 5.
