Charging

• Charging or using the product at temperatures below 40 °F (4.5 °C) or higher than 95 °F (35 °C) adversely affects the lifespan of the battery.
• Do not charge the shaver in a pouch or travel case.
• The power plug transforms 100-240V AC to less than 24V DC.

Charge the shaver before you use it for the first time and when the display indicates that the battery is almost empty.

Charging takes approx. 1 hour. A fully charged shaver has a shaving time of up to 60 minutes.

This shaver is suitable for use in the bath or shower. For safety reasons, it is therefore not possible to use the shaver while it is connected to the power outlet for charging.

Note: Depending on your shaving/styling behavior and beard type, the operating time may vary over time.

Charging with the power cord

1. Make sure the product is turned off.
2. Put the small plug in the product and connect the power plug into any 100V to 240V AC outlet. Use only the power cord provided. ( * The display on the product will indicate the product is charging.)
3. After charging, remove the power plug from the wall outlet and pull the small plug out of the product.

Note: An adapter plug may be necessary for cord usage in some foreign countries. Use an attachment plug adapter of the proper configuration for power outlet.

Quick charge

21- Day adaptation process

• 21- Day Trial and Conversion Process. It is a fact that your skin and beard need time to adjust to a new grooming system.
• Use your new shaver exclusively for 3 weeks to fully enjoy the closeness of a Philips Norelco shave.
• At first you may not get as close a shave as you expect, or your face may even become slightly irritated. This is normal since your beard and skin will need time to adjust. Invest 3 weeks and you'll soon experience the full joy of your new shaver.
• Stick with it! If you alternate shaving methods during the adjustment period, it may make it more difficult to adapt to the Philips Norelco shaving system.
• If you are still not convinced after 21 days, Philips Norelco will refund you the full purchase price as long as the request is received within 45 days of purchase.
