The following symbol indicates that a specic detachable
power supply unit is required for connecting the electrical
appliance to the supply mains. The type reference of power
supply unit is marked near the symbol.

symbol means suitable for use in a bath or shower.
Notes
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.
Do not bring the system outer foil into contact with hard
object.

Doing so may deteriorate the waterproof rubber and degrade
waterproof function, which may cause to malfunction.
Store the shaver in a place with low humidity after use.
Failure to do so may cause malfunction due to
condensation or rust.

illustrated above and
shave.
Start shaving by applying gentle pressure to your face. Stretch
your skin with your free hand and move the shaver back and

the amount of pressure as your skin becomes accustomed to
this shaver. Applying excessive pressure does not provide a
closer shave.
You can also use a pen grip to
hold the shaver.
A full charge will supply enough power for approx. 7 shaves
based on one 3-minute dry-shave use per day. (This will
differ depending on usage.) (Based on dry use at 20 - 30 °C.)
While charging
Charging in progress
The charge status lamp ( ) stays on in
red.

0 °C - 35 °C. Battery performance may decrease under
extremely low or high temperatures.
When charging the shaver for the rst time or when it has not

completely discharged. The battery life depends strongly on
factors such as how it is used and stored.
