Automatic Shut Off
The BackPleaser has been designed for convenience and
safety. As a special precaution against falling asleep while
using the unit, or leaving the unit on while it is still in
operation, we've programmed it to automatically stop
massaging 15 minutes after receiving your last command.
To reactivate the massager, simply press any button. Any
time you change massage functions, the timer will reset.
This special feature should not be considered as a
substitute for OFF. Always remember to turn your unit off
when not in use.
