Charging the shaver

1. Insert the appliance plug into the shaver.
   Turn the shaver off before inserting.
2. Plug in the adaptor into a household outlet.
   
   Check that the charge status lamp ( ) glows.
   Charging is completed after approx. 1 hour.
   The charging time may decrease depending on the charging capacity.
   Wipe off any water droplets on the appliance socket.
   Check that the outer foil is not deformed or damaged when you are attaching the shaver.
   If the shape of the plug does not fit the power outlet, use an attachment plug adaptor of the proper configuration.
   
   
   After charging is completed, turning the power switch ON with the shaver plugged in will cause the battery capacity lamp and the charge status lamp to light up and then turn off after 5 seconds. This shows that the shaver is fully charged.
   Recommended ambient temperature for charging is 10 – 35 °C (50 – 95 °F). It may take longer to charge or the battery may fail to charge properly in extremely high or low temperatures. Charge the shaver within the recommended ambient temperature range.
   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 glow. It will eventually glow if kept connected.
3. Disconnect the adaptor after charging is completed.
   Charging the battery for more than 1 hour will not affect battery performance.
   Note: You cannot operate the shaver while charging.

Using the shaver

1. Rotate the lock ring to unlock the power switch. (See page 9.)
2. Press the power switch to select the desired shaving mode.
   Each time you press the power switch, the shaving mode changes from “Shaving sensor mode” “Normal mode” “OFF”.
   
   The shaving sensor may not respond depending on the thickness of the beard or the type of the shaving gel and shaving foam, but this is normal.
   The shaving sensor may not respond when the remaining battery capacity is low. If this happens, recharge the shaver.
3. Hold the shaver as illustrated and shave.
   Start 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 becomes accustomed to this shaver. Applying excessive pressure does not provide a closer shave.
