OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Note that the CONAIR Body Benefits
™
massager is a battery-operated rechargeable massager.
The batteries must be fully charged for 24 hours before initial use, and recharged for subse-
quent uses in order to maintain full performance. Carefully unwrap the massager and trans-
former.
Plug the transformer cord into the small round charging receptacle in the base of the massager
handle. Plug the supplied transformer into normal household current (120VAC). For the best
performance, a full charge of at least 12 hours is recommended. After charging, unplug the
transformer and store for future charging use.
HOW TO USE
1) Check to see if the unit is fully charged.
2) Unplug the massager from the adapter.
3) While holding the handle of the massager, place one of the 4 attachments on the area you
need to massage.
4) Massage muscle areas with the speed controller in “LOW” position. Apply little pressure
at first.
5) Once you have become accustomed to the massage speed, you may choose to change the
speed from Low to Medium or High. Simply push the button upward to the second setting or
third setting.
6) When not in use, your massager should be disconnected and stored in a safe, dry location,
out of reach of children.

RECOMMENDED MASSAGING TIMES
• As a person’s metabolism varies, so does his or her response to massage. You will soon
adjust the time to suit your particular needs and personal comfort. If you have any doubts
regarding treatment, we recommend you consult your physician. Generally, massage should
last only 10-20 minutes on any area of the body. Treatment may be applied once or twice daily.
