cleaning recharger securely (see
fig. 13, 14, 15).
2. Insert the appliance plug into the
socket (see fig. 16-1).
3. Firmly insert the adaptor into the
AC outlet (see fig. 16-2).
It will be adjusted automatically
to voltages between 100-240V
AC.
In some areas, a special plug
adaptor may be required.
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] (Charge)
cource 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
charge status lamp blinks twice per
second.
• When charging the shaver for the
first time or when it has not been in
use for more than 6 months, the
charge status lamp may not illumi-
nate for a few minutes after opera-
tion. It will eventually illuminate if
kept connected.
The charge status lamp will glow
when the shaver is being charged.
The battery capacity monitor will fully
illuminate and the charge status lamp
will blink after charging is completed
(see fig. 4 (A)).
10 minutes after charging is com-
pleted, the battery capacity monitor
will turn off and the charge status
lamp will continue to blink (see fig. 4
(B)).
You can fully charge the shaver in 1
hour if the LED display shows “low”.
The battery capacity monitor indi-
cates the charge remaining in the
battery in 3 levels (high/mid/low). The
unit can be used once or twice more
after “low” starts to blink. (Differs de-
pending on usage.)
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.
Using your shaver
Caution – The system outer foil is
very thin and can be damaged if
handled improperly. Before each
use, always check the foil for dam-
age. To avoid personal injury, do
not use if the foil or other parts of
the shaving head are damaged.
Push the On/Off switch to turn the
shaver on.
If you push and hold the On/Off
switch for more than 2 seconds, it
will activate the turbo mode for
“sonic” vibration cleaning.
(see “Cleaning your shaver with-
out the self-cleaning recharger”)
Shaving with “sonic” vibration may
damage your skin. Please turn it
off and on again to deactivate the
turbo mode.
Do not place fingers on the On/Off
switch during use.
This may cause the shaver to stop
during use or change it to the
“sonic” vibration cleaning mode.
Place your finger on the finger rest
during use.
Hold the shaver at a right angle (90°)
to your skin (see fig. 6). 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 direction of your
beard. You may gently increase the
amount of pressure as your skin be-
comes accustomed to this shaver.
Applying excessive pressure does
not provide a closer shave.
Pivot action selector
(see fig. 7)
Use the pivot action selector to
choose the shaving mode, [soft]
(soft) and [lock] (lock) based on
your shaving preference.
The pivot action can be changed
whether the switch is turned on or
off.
System outer foil
(see fig. 8)
System outer foil has a slit blade (a)
between 2 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.
For wet shaving
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 shaver’s performance. If the
shaving head is clogged with foam,
simply rinse it under running water.
Using the trimmer
(see fig. 9)
Slide the trimmer handle up to open
the trimmer.
Place the trimmer at a right angle to
your skin and move it downward to
trim sideburns.
