  • Heat Function: Heat only works when the massage function is active. It takes 5-10 minutes to reach maximum temperature.
  • Power Adapters: The unit comes with both a 120V AC home adapter and a 12V DC auto adapter.
  • Safety Warning: Do not use on wooden surfaces as the zipper may damage the wood.
