Before use
This Wet/Dry shaver can be used for
wet shaving with shaving lather or for
dry shaving. You can use this water-
tight shaver in the shower and clean
it in water. Treat yourself to wet lather
shaves for at least three weeks and
notice the difference. Your Panasonic
Wet/Dry shaver requires a little time
to get used to because your skin and
beard need about a month to adjust
to any new shaving method.

Charging
Connect the power cord to the
shaver, and plug the adaptor to an
AC outlet. (see fig. 1 (A))
The shaver will be adjusted automati-
cally to voltages between 100-240V
AC.
In some areas, a special plug adap-
tor may be required.
• When charging the shaver for the
first time or when it has not been in
use for more than 6 months, the
plug symbol and backlight of LCD
display (ES8163) or charge status
lamp (ES8162, ES8161) may not
illuminate for a few minutes after
operation. These lights will eventu-
ally illuminate if kept connected.
Adequate ambient temperature for
charging is between 15 to 35
°C.
• If it is far below or over the appro-
priate temperature, the charging
time may extend, or the adaptor
may not function.
• In particular, low temperature may
shorten the life span of the re-
chargeable battery, In this case, the
backlight of LCD display (ES8163)
or charge status lamp (ES8162,
ES8161) blinks twice in 1 second.
[for ES8163]
When the shaver is being charged,
the backlight of LCD display turns
on, and the plug symbol appears
(see fig. 2 (A)).

It shows the remaining battery ca-
pacity from 0% to 100%, in 10% in-
crements.
When the charging is completed, it
will indicate “100%” and the backlight
of LCD display will flash once in
about 1 second. It will flash once in
about 2 seconds for 10 minutes af-
ter charging is completed (see fig. 2
(B)).
You can fully charge the shaver in 1
hour if the LCD display shows 10%
and lower.
The plug symbol blinks in the LCD
display when the remaining battery
capacity is 10% and less.
The unit can be used once or twice
more after the LCD display starts to
show 10%. (Differs depending on the
use situation.)
[for ES8162]
The charge status lamp will glow
when the shaver is being charged.
100 to 20 of the battery capacity
monitor will all illuminate and the
charge status lamp will blink after
charging is completed (see fig. 2 (C)).
10 minutes after charging is com-
pleted, the battery capacity monitor
will extinguish and the charge status
lamp will continue to blink (see fig. 2
(D)).
You can fully charge the shaver in 1
hour if the LED display shows 20%.
The battery capacity monitor indi-
cates the charge remaining in the
battery. The unit can be used once
or twice more after the “20” starts to
blink. (Differs depending on the use
situation.)
[for ES8161]
The charge status lamp will glow
when the shaver is being charged. It
will blink when the charging is com-
pleted (see fig. 2 (F)).
You can fully charge the shaver in 1
hour if the low battery indicator blinks
(see fig. 2 (E)).
The unit can be used once or twice
more after the low battery indicator
starts to blink.
A full charge will supply enough
power for approx. 14 shaves (3 min-
utes per shave for a normal beard).
Before travelling, charge it fully for 1
hour if you will not be taking the adap-
tor with you.
In case your shaver is without charge,
you may quick charge it for 1 shave
in about 5 minutes.
Charge with charging

(see fig. 1 (B))
To charge with the charging stand,
connect the power cord to the charg-
ing stand. Place the shaver into the
stand, and plug the adaptor to the
AC outlet.
You can always store your shaver in
the charging stand to maintain full
battery capacity. This shaver cannot
be overcharged.
