Fixing Issues
Q: I nd the chair is too intense to be comfortable. What can I do?
Q: I’m not a foot massage person, what should I do?
Q: My chair is not performing as expected. What should I do?
Q: I can never seem to get in my Kyota Massage chair, someone is
always in it.
A: Your body needs to become acclimated to therapeutic massage. To be eective, the
massage techniques must compress the tissue in your body. We recommend the following
steps to help get started. Then over time as your body acclimates you can increase the
intensity by reducing the layers between you and the chair.
1. Use Pillow and Pillow pad to reduce upper body intensity.
2. From the In-Use screen, swipe left to get to the Custom Selections screen.
- If airbag pressure is too intense, use the Max Air Settings control to lower
airbag intensity
- If a specic airbag is too intense, use the Air Settings control to turn o
particular regions.
3. Adjust the recline on the remote. More upright will be less intense. Weightless Zero
Gravity Recline will be more intense.
4. If after adjustments and attempt to acclimate, you still experience discomfort, discontinue
use and consult a physician.
A: Turn o Foot Reexology Rollers. From the In-Use screen, swipe left to get to the Custom
Selections screen. Use the Foot Rollers control to deactivate the
Foot Reexology Rollers.
You
may also want to use the Airbag Setting control to turn o the Leg/Foot airbags.
A: Your Kyota massage chair is an amazing combination of programming and robotics. On
occasion the chair just may need to be rebooted. To do this power down the chair and unplug
from the wall for 5 minutes then plug back in and power back up to see if it self-healed. If you
are still having an issue, give Kyota a call at 1-603-910-5333.
A: We know. It happens. Tell your friends to get their own Kyota Chair.
