Using the shaver
1 Press the power
switch.
2 Hold the shaver as
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
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.
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.)
While charging
Charging in progress
The charge status lamp ( ) stays on in
red.
Charging complete
The charge status lamp ( ) remains on in
red after charging is completed.
Notes
If there is crackling noise on radios or other devices while
charging, charge the shaver using a different household
outlet.
When the appliance is not used for 6 months or more, the
battery will weaken (leak battery uid, etc.). Fully charge the
battery once every 6 months.
Recommended ambient temperature for charging is 0-35 °C.
(32 °F - 95 °F). Battery performance may decrease outside
of the recommended temperature.
When charging the shaver for the rst time or when it has not
been in use for more than 6 months, the lamp on the main
body may not glow for a few minutes, or the operating time
may shorten. Please charge it for more than 23 hours in such
cases.
You can charge the battery before it is completely discharged.
However, it is recommended to charge when the battery is
completely discharged. The battery life depends strongly on
factors such as how it is used and stored.
