LED Battery Charge Meter
◗The Meter provides the following infor-
mation:
C◗LED Battery Charge Meter
The number (percentage) on the display indi-
cates approximately how much power is left
in the batteries.
C◗Low Battery Indicator
If the batteries run low, the plug symbol on
the display lights up red.When you turn the
razor OFF, the plug symbol will blink for
approximately 4 seconds.
C◗Charging Indicator
When you charge razor, the plug symbol on
the display lights up green.After approxi-
mately 3 minutes, and as charging continues,
more and more sections of the display meter
will briefly blink green and light up to indi-
cate what level (percentage) of the batteries
have been charged.
C◗Full Charge Indicator
When the batteries have been fully charged,
all the “sections” on the display will light up
green and the “FULL” indication and plug
symbol will start blinking.
10 ENGLISH

Charging
◗Battery performance is best if you recharge
only when the batteries are (almost)
completely empty.
◗Charging or recharging at temperatures
below 40cF or higher than 95cF adversely
affects lifetime of batteries.
◗Continuously recharging or continuously using
as a corded razor will reduce life of batteries.
◗You may also shave using the charging plug
provided.This razor will not recharge while
being used corded.
◗Recharge only when plug symbol lights up red.
◗Do not charge razor in pouch.
◗The charging plug transforms 100-240 volts to
a voltage lower than 24 volts.
C1Connect cord to razor. Connect the
charging plug into any 100V to 240V AC
outlet. Use only the charging plug
provided.
As you charge razor, the “20” section on the
display turns red. After approximately 3 minutes,
it will then turn green and blink along with the
number sections. As charging continues, more
and more sections of the display meter will briefly
blink green and light up to indicate what level
(percentage) of the batteries have been charged.
◗An adaptor plug may be necessary for
charging plug usage in some foreign countries.
Use an attachment plug adaptor of the proper
configuration for the power outlet.
The charging plug will automatically convert to
work on 100V to 240V AC Systems.
11ENGLISH

2First time charging and recharging after
non-use for 1 month or more requires a
full 4 hours. A fully charged razor has a
cordless shaving time of up to 70 minutes.
When batteries are fully charged, all the “sections”
on the display will light up green. “FULL”
indication as well as plug symbol will start blinking.
◗Recharging
1First time charging requires 4 hours. After
initial charge, recharging requires
approximately 1 hour.
2When razor is fully charged, disconnect
the charging plug from outlet. Do not keep
razor permanently plugged into outlet.
Quick Charge
When batteries are totally depleted, recharging
the razor for approximately 6 minutes gives
enough energy for a 3 minute cordless shave.
Put ItToTheTest & ShavingTips
◗21 Day Trial and Conversion Process. It is a
fact that your skin and beard need time to
adjust to a new shaving system.
◗Use your new razor exclusively for 3 weeks
to fully enjoy the closeness of a 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
12 ENGLISH

beard and skin will need time to adjust. Invest
3 weeks and you'll soon experience the full
joy of your new razor.
◗Stick with it! If you alternate shaving methods
during the adjustment period, it may make it
more difficult to adapt to the Norelco shaving
system.
◗If you are still not convinced after 21 days,
Norelco will refund you the full purchase
price, guaranteed.
Personal Comfort Control
C◗Your Spectra razor has 9 adjustable settings
that allow you to personalize your shave for
your specific skin type from sensitive to
normal skin.You can select your personal
comfort control setting by turning the dial.
Choose a comfort setting:
C◗For Sensitive Skin:

Neutral “ “ and Sensitive "S" to relax the spring
and pressure of floating heads against your skin
for a gentler, more comfortable shave.
C◗For Normal Skin:
Choose a comfort control setting between
Neutral “ ” and Normal "N" to tighten the
spring and pressure of the floating heads against
your skin for a faster, more comfortable shave.

HowTo Shave With an Electric Razor
◗Use this razor for its intended household use
asdescribed in this manual.
◗Shaving with a clean, dry face gives the best
results.
C1Turn razor ON. Shave against the direction
of beard growth using both straight and
circular movements.
2Stretch your skin with your free hand so
blades can lift and cut whiskers. Gently
press razor to skin, so the floating heads
can follow the contours of your face. DO
NOT press too hard.Too much pressure
can pinch the skin into the combs.
3Turn razor OFF.
C4Put the protective razor head cap on the
razor to protect razor heads.
Replace Spectra razor heads (model # HQ8)
once a year for optimal shaving results.
Trimming
To groom sideburns and moustache:
1Turn razor ON.
C2Push up Trimmer Slide Switch.
14 ENGLISH

15ENGLISH
TheTrimmer can be activated while the razor is
running.
C3Hold Trimmer as shown and move in
downward strokes with gentle pressure.
4Close Trimmer by sliding Trimmer switch
down.
5Turn razor OFF.
Cleaning
Every Week: Razor Heads
C◗The easiest and most hygienic way to clean
the razor heads is to rinse them every week
with hot water.Water from the tap should be
on a hot setting.
BE CAREFULTO TEST WATER FIRST SO AS
NOT TO BURN OR SCALD HANDS.
◗Regular cleaning guarantees better shaving
results.
◗You may also quickly rinse your razor heads
after each use.
1Always turn razor OFF, unplug from outlet
and remove cord from razor before
cleaning.
C2Press the Razor Head Release Button, flip
open the Razor Head Assembly.

C3Clean razor heads and hair chamber by
running under hot tap water.
4Close the Razor Head Assembly and shake
off excess water.
C5Open Razor Head Assembly again and
leave open to air dry.
6You may also clean the hair chamber
without water by using the supplied brush.
Once A Month: Razor Heads
Do not mix up the cutters and combs as the
shaving performance may be adversely affected
for several weeks before optimal shaving
performance is restored.
1Turn razor OFF, remove the charging plug
from the outlet and cord from the razor.
C2Press the razor head release button, open
and lift off the razor head assembly.
C3Turn the wheel counterclockwise and
remove the retaining frame.
4Remove and clean one set of cutters and
combs at a time.
16 ENGLISH

C5Separate the cutter from the comb and
rinse clean under hot water.
Do not clean more than one cutter and comb at
a time, since they are all matching sets. If you
accidentally interchange the cutters and combs, it
could take several weeks before optimal shaving
performance is restored.
C6Replace the set back into the Razor Head
Assembly so that the ‘wings’ on the comb
fit within the brackets located towards the
center of the assembly.
◗The set will only fit into the Razor Head
Assembly if the ‘wings’ are between the
brackets. Make sure that the two pointy edges
of the head fit exactly into the recesses.
7Repeat the process for the other two sets
of cutters and combs.
8Replace the retaining frame.
C9Press down and turn wheel clockwise until
it locks into place.
10 Place the Razor Head Assembly back on
razor.
For optimum performance, razor cutters and
combs should be cleaned in a degreasing liquid
(e.g. Norelco Razor Cleaner, model RC1776, or
rubbing alcohol) and then lubricated with
Norelco Razor Lubricant, model AL80, or one
17ENGLISH

drop of mineral oil (in the center of the head).
This helps prevent wear of the shaving heads.

Trimmer.

you use it.
C4Lubricate the Trimmer teeth with Norelco
