Before First Use

◗ Charge the razor before you start using it (see

Important

◗ Only use the power plug provided to charge the razor.

◗ The charging plug converts 100 – 240V AC to less than 24V DC.

ENGLISH 11

Charging

◗ Battery performance is best if you recharge only when the batteries are (almost) completely empty.

◗ Charging or recharging at temperatures below

40°F and higher than 95°F adversely affects lifetime of batteries.

◗ Continuously recharging or continuously using as a corded razor will reduce life of batteries.

◗ You may also shave using the cord provided.

This razor will not recharge while being used corded.

◗ First time charging and recharging after non-use for 1 month or more requires a full 12 hours.

◗ Do not charge/recharge or use razor corded until fully dried.

C

1 Connect cord directly to razor. Connect the charging plug into any 100V to 240V AC outlet. Use only the charging plug provided.

◗ An adaptor plug may be necessary for charging plug usage in some foreign countries. Use an attachment plug adaptor of the proper configuration for the power outlet.

The charging plug will automatically convert to work on 100V to 240V AC systems.

2 First time charging requires 12 hours. After initial charge, recharging requires approximately 1 hour. A fully charged razor has a cordless shaving time of up to

10 days.

ENGLISH

When batteries are fully charged, the charging light blinks green.

Quick Charge

When batteries are totally depleted, recharging the razor for approximately 6 minutes gives enough energy for a 3-minute cordless shave.

Put It To The Test & Shaving Tips

◗ 21 Day Trial and Conversion Process.It is a fact that your skin and beard need time to adjust to a new shaving system.

◗ Use your new razor exclusively for 3 weeks to fully enjoy the closeness of a Philips Norelco shave.

◗ At first you may not get as close a shave as you expect, or your face may even become slightly irritated.This is normal since your beard and skin will need time to adjust. Invest

3 weeks and you’ll soon experience the full joy of your new razor.

◗ Stick with it! If you alternate shaving methods during the adjustment period, it may make it more difficult to adapt to the Philips Norelco shaving system.

◗ If you are still not convinced after 21 days,

Philips Norelco will refund you the full purchase price as long as the request is received within 60 days of purchase.

TO BURN OR SCALD HANDS.
