4. Pull up the arm of the self-clean-
ing recharger until it clicks (see
fig. 17-3).
5. Remove the protective cap and
set the shaver firmly onto the self-
cleaning recharger until it clicks
(see fig. 17-4).
• The Self-cleaning recharger is
set on the (Charge) mode when
the shaver is set on.
• Do not push the arm down-
wards.
• Ensure that the outer foil does
not get deformed or damaged
when placing the shaver into the
self-cleaning recharger.
Note
• Use the self-cleaning recharger in
environments that do not exceed
ambient temperatures of 15 to
35°C and humidity levels of 95%.
• If it is far below or over the appro-
priate temperature, the charging
time may extend, or the Self-clean-
ing recharger 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 blinks
twice in 1 second.
• 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 may not illuminate for a few
minutes after operation. These
lights will eventually illuminate if
kept connected.
When the shaver is being charged, the
backlight of LCD display turns on, and
the plug symbol appears (see fig. 4
(A)).
It shows the remaining battery capac-
ity from 0% to 100%, in 10% incre-
ments.
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 after charg-
ing is completed (see fig. 4 (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 dis-
play when the remaining battery ca-
pacity 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.)
A full charge will supply enough
power for approx. 14 shaves (3 min-
utes per shave for a normal beard).
You can always connect your shaver
to the self-cleaning recharger or the
adaptor to maintain full battery ca-
pacity. This shaver cannot be over-
charged.
Before travelling, charge it fully for 1
hour if you will not be taking the adap-
tor with you.
Charging without self-
cleaning recharger
Connect the power cord to the
shaver, and plug the adaptor to an
AC outlet (see fig. 5). The shaver will
be adjusted automatically to voltages
between 100-240V AC.
In some areas, a special plug adap-
tor may be required.

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. The following is the sym-
bol of Wet shaver. The symbol means
that hand-held part may be used in
a bath or shower.
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.
