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.

Replacing batteries
Before replacing the batteries, wipe
the shaver free of moisture to pre-
vent the inside from getting wet.
1. Turn the battery cover release
dial and remove the battery cover.
(Turn the dial to 90
° in the coun-
ter clockwise direction and re-
move the battery cover.) (Fig.2A)
2. Insert the two AA (LR6) alkaline
batteries as shown in the figure.
After checking that their polarity
matches that indicated behind the
shaver main body. (Fig. 2B) (If the
(+) and (–) poles are not inserted
properly, the motor will not oper-
ate.) Do not use a new battery
with an old battery.
3. Replace the battery cover with
the dial mark at open. Check for
proper sealing of the water-proof-
ing ring.
4. After replacing the battery cover
to the main unit, turn the dial mark
to close (Fig. 2C).
For a better shave
Put a thin layer of shaving foam on
your face which works as a lubricant.
Shaving foam is the most suitable
among many other shaving aids (gel,
soap, cream, etc). Do not put a thick
layer of shaving foam as it may af-
fect the shaver’s performance. If the
shaving head is clogged with foam,
simply rinse it under running water.
Depress the switch lock button and
slide the On/Off switch upward to turn
the shaver on. Hold the shaver at a
right angle (90
°) to your skin (see fig.
3). Start out shaving by applying gen-
tle 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.
