What to do if massage heads don't reach my shoulders on Panasonic Massager?
If the massage heads on your Panasonic Massager aren't reaching your shoulders, it might be because your shoulders are too high. Try shifting your waist forward and reclining the chair back further.
Why does it seem like the massage heads are at different heights on my Panasonic Massager?
The massage heads may seem like they are at different heights because the Panasonic Massager uses an alternating tapping mechanism. This is not a malfunction. To check the alignment, press the “tap” button in the manual operation mode, then press the “quick stop” button to turn off the tapping. Check under the back cushion and cushion insert pad to see if the massage heads have stopped in an aligned position. If not, repeat the process.
What to do if my Panasonic EP1015 does not start?
If your Panasonic Massager isn't starting, there are several potential causes: * Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a 120 V AC outlet. * Check that the power switch is slid to the “on” position. * Verify the operating lock switch is set to the “open” position. * If the chair stops during reclining due to encountering force, remove any obstacles and if the leg massage operation indicator lamp on the controller blinks, turn the power switch off, wait 10 seconds, then turn it back on. Press the “on/off” button on the controller. * If the chair stops during operation due to encountering force, raise your back slightly. If all operation indicator lamps on the controller blink, turn the power switch off, wait 10 seconds, then turn it back on. Press the “on/off” button on t...

This document provides operating instructions for the Panasonic Household Massage Lounger, Model No. EP1015. It covers important safety information, operating precautions, grounding instructions, how to move the chair, parts identification, and detailed usage instructions for various massage functions.
The Panasonic Household Massage Lounger EP1015 is designed to provide a comprehensive massage experience. It features various massage types including kneading, tapping, and rolling, which can be applied to different areas of the back, neck, and shoulders. The chair also includes a leg massager for a more complete relaxation. The massage heads are adjustable in terms of position, width, and intensity, allowing for a personalized massage experience. The chair's backrest and legrest can be reclined, either automatically in concert with the massage or manually, to achieve a comfortable position.
The lounger is operated via a wired controller, which provides intuitive access to all massage functions.
To begin a massage, simply press the "on/off" button on the controller. An operation indicator lamp will illuminate to confirm the unit is active. To stop the massage, press the "on/off" button again. The massage heads will retract to their resting position, allowing the chair to be used as a regular lounge chair. For immediate cessation of massage action, a "quick stop" button is available, which stops the massage heads in their current position. To return the heads to the resting position after a quick stop, press the "on/off" button twice.
The massage lounger incorporates a built-in timer that automatically stops the massage after approximately 15 minutes to prevent excessive massaging. If a programmed massage course is selected, the unit will stop upon completion of the program.
The leg massager is activated and deactivated independently using its dedicated "on/off" button on the controller. An indicator lamp confirms its operation. The leg massager also has an automatic shut-off timer, stopping after 30 minutes of continuous operation.
The chair's backrest and legrest can be reclined automatically using the reclining buttons on the controller. Pressing and holding the "up" button extends the legrest and reclines the backrest, while holding the "down" button returns them to their resting positions. The reclining angle can be adjusted to vary the intensity of the massage; a more reclined position generally results in a more intense massage. The legrest can also be extended and lowered manually using a lever located on the side of the chair. Pulling the lever back extends the legrest up to 90 degrees, and pushing it forward lowers it. It's important to note that if the legrest is raised manually, it must also be lowered manually using the lever, as the controller's reclining buttons will not operate it in this state.
The lounger offers several programmed massage courses targeting specific areas:
For a customized experience, the lounger offers manual control over various massage types:
The back cushion is attached to the chair with a zipper. Removing the back cushion can provide a stronger massage. The headrest drapes over the back cushion and can be flipped over the back of the chair or removed for massage use.
A foam cushion insert pad is provided to soften the effect of the massage, particularly for the vigorous shiatsu massage. This pad is placed underneath the back cushion at the waist position. It can be removed for a full shiatsu massage, but users are advised to start with short durations (under two minutes) to assess the intensity.
