Important information
• 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.
• Keep both the inner blades inserted. If only one of the
inner blades is inserted, the shaver may be damaged.
• If you clean the shaver with water, do not use salt
water or hot water. Do not soak the shaver in water for
a long period of time.
• Charge the appliance correctly according to these
Operating Instructions. (See page 13 "Charging the
shaver".)
• This appliance contains battery that is only
replaceable by skilled persons. Please contact an
authorized service centre for the details of repair.
Note the following precautions
When using
• Do not bring the system outer foil into contact with
hard objects.
Doing so may damage the system outer foil as it is
very thin and deforms easily.
• Do not drop or hit against other objects.
Doing so may cause injury.
When storing
• Store the shaver in a place with low humidity after
use.
Failure to do so may cause malfunction due to
condensation or rust.
• Be sure to place the protective cap on the shaver
when carrying around or storing.
Failure to do so may cause injury to skin or reduce the
life of the system outer foil.
When cleaning
• Do not dry the main unit with a dryer or a fan heater.
Doing so may cause malfunction or deformation of the
parts.
• Do not leave the shaver exposed to direct sunlight
with the foil frame detached.
Doing so may deteriorate the waterproof rubber and
degrade waterproof function, which may cause to
malfunction.

charging time may change or the charge status lamp
() may not glow for a few minutes. It will eventually
glow if kept connected.
• Recommended ambient temperature for charging is
10 °C – 35 °C. It may take longer to charge, or the
charge status lamp ( ) will blink quickly and the
battery may fail to charge properly in extremely high
or low temperatures.
• The shaver can be used for approximately 2 weeks
with a full charge.
(Based on one 3‑minute dry‑shave usage per day in
an ambient temperature range of 20 °C – 30 °C.)
The number of usable days varies depending on the
following conditions.
‑ Beard thickness
‑ Pressure applied to the skin
‑
Usage frequency of the sonic vibration cleaning mode
• If there is noise from the radio or other sources while
using or charging the appliance, move to a different
location to use the appliance.
How to use
Shaving beard
1 Press and shave�
• The “shaving sensor”, which
automatically adjusts the power
depending on the beard thickness,
will operate.
It will shave with high power on areas
where the beard is heavy, and reduce
the power on areas where the beard
is thin, to reduce burden on the skin.
Tips for better shaving
Apply the whole system outer foil
perpendicularly against the skin
and shave by slowly gliding the
shaver over the face against the
grain of the beard.
• The beard under the chin and
around the throat can be shaved
better by stretching the skin so
the beard will stand.
• To prevent damaging the system
outer foil, do not shave with only
a part of the system outer foil.
