Place it upright into the charging
adaptor with the switch facing toward
the front.
The charge status lamp will glow red
when the shaver is placed on a right
charging position. It will flicker red when
the charging is completed.
At the same time, the battery capacity
monitor will display the fully charged
condition (see fig. 2A). The system will
turn off in about 10 minutes after the
charging has been completed (see fig.
2B). You can fully charge the shaver in
one hour if the battery capacity moni-
tor flashes down to the 20% level.
A full charge will supply enough
power for about 14 shaves (three
minutes per shave for a normal
beard).
You can always store your shaver in
the charging adaptor to maintain full
power capacity. This shaver cannot
be overcharged.
Before traveling, charge it fully for
1 hour if you will not be taking the
charging adaptor with you.
In case your shaver is discharged,
you may quick charge it for one shave
in about five minutes.
Using your shaver
Push the switch button to turn the
shaver on. Hold the shaver at a right
angle (90
°) to your skin (see fig. 3).
Start out shaving by applying gentle
pressure to your face. Stretch your
skin with your free hand and move
the shaver back and forth in the di-
rection of your beard. You may gen-
tly increase the amount of pressure
as your skin becomes accustomed
to this shaver. Applying excessive
pressure does not provide a closer
shave.
For wet shaving
Put a thin layer of shaving foam on
your face which works as a lubrica-
tor. Shaving foam is the most suit-
able among many other shaving aids
(gel, soap, cream, etc). Do not put a
thick layer of shaving foam as it may
affect shaver's performance. If the
shaving head is clogged with foam,
simply rinse it under running water.
System outer foil
(see fig. 4)
System outer foil has a slit blade (a)
between two foils (b). They move up
and down independently to follow the
contours of your face.
The slit blade catches and cuts
longer and lying hairs easily.
Using the trimmer
(see fig. 5)
Slide the trimmer handle up to the
position until it clicks in.
Place the trimmer at a right angle to
your skin and move it downward to
trim sideburns.
Cleaning your shaver
(see fig. 6)
For cleanliness and convenience, we
recommend that you clean your
shaver with water and a liquid hand
soap. Regular cleaning will keep your
shaver in good condition while pre-
venting odors or bacteria from devel-
oping, and maintain the cutting per-
formance.
