Using Your Switch:
MaxHEAT™ One-Touch™ Switch
The One-Touch™ switch is a user-friendly electronic timer and tem-
perature control. The small red light at the top of the switch will
remain lit whenever the heating unit is plugged in properly. When
you are ready for a surge of heat, just press the larger red "Power"
button in the center of the switch display.
All four green bars should light up in a blinking cascade rotation,
to indicate a total time available of 20 minutes, divided into in four
5-minute time segments. One light bar will become a solid green
light each time the "Power" or "Resume" button has been activated
for a total of five minutes, while the remaining bars continue to blink.
This will help you monitor the length of your heat therapy treatment,
but you can end the treatment at any time, or extend it longer if you
prefer, with the "Power" button.
As soon as the MaxHEAT™ therapy pad becomes as hot as is com-
fortable for you, just press the yellow "Pause" button, located directly
below the "Power" button. This feature allows you to customize the
heat level by allowing the heating pad to cool a bit while the timer
function pauses, your body adjusts to the heat level, and painful tis-
sues begin to relax. The "Pause" button will blink yellow, and the
cascading green lights on the timer will pause. Whenever you feel
that more heat is needed, push the yellow button a second time to
"Resume" heating. The MaxHEAT™ pad is designed to get very hot,
very quickly. Please stay alert, monitor the heat level, and do not let
the heat level become uncomfortably hot.
If the "Pause" feature is left in place for 20 minutes, or the heating
function has been activated for a total of 20 minutes by using either
the "Power" or "Resume" function, the unit will automatically shut off
as a safety feature. If you feel that you need extended heat therapy
at that point, just press the red "Power" button again to activate a
new 20-minute timer cycle.
General Instructions for all models:
Because of individual needs, the length of time for treatment may
vary from person to person. We recommend treatments of 30 min-
utes or less, with a minimum cooling period of 60 minutes between
heat therapy sessions. Please consult your physician if you have any
questions about using heat therapy, or if you require more intense
heat therapy than our product supplies. Should unusual symptoms
appear, discontinue use of the product and consult your physician.
When finished with your therapy session, remove the plug from the
outlet. Store the Thermophore Heat Pack in the original box or lay
®
it out flat. Loop the cord loosely – tight wrapping may damage the
