■■■ Important English

To protect the environment, this
rechargeable Philishave appliance is
equipped with nickel-hydride batteries.
These contain less than 0.01% cadmium.
Yet we advise you to ensure that the batteries
are separated from the normal household
refuse and that they are disposed of at an
officially assigned place when discarding your
appliance in due course. Please refer to section
“Protecting the environment”.
■■■ Switching on/off
3 The slider switch has a locking
knob which prevents the shaver
from being switched on
accidentally.
Keeping the small knob on the
switch pressed-in slide the
switch upwards/downwards.
■■■ Charging
•Ensure that the shaver is switched off.
•It is advisable to charge the shaver at tem-
peratures between 5°and 35°C (41°and 95°F).
This guarantees maximum life from the
rechargeable batteries.
•If you keep the shaver in the case when
charging ensure that the lid is left open to
prevent overheating.
•Before first use (or if the shaver has not been
used for a long time) it should be charged for a
period of at least 8 hours.

•Recharging: 60 minutes.
The shaver can also be charged from a 12 - 24 Volts
(DC) supply using cord connector type HP 1957.
(Available from Philips retailers or Authorised Service
Dealers.) Charging from a 12 - 24 Volts (DC) supply
requires approx. 24 hours.
• Regular cleaning of the shaver means that less
battery energy is consumed, so that more shaving
time becomes available.
• The shaver will not be damaged by leaving it
connected to the mains supply after it is fully
charged. However, it is not advisable to charge the
shaver permanently as this would shorten the life
of the rechargeable batteries.
4 Insert the small plug into the
shaver. Ensure that the plug is
pushed fully home. (Note the
indication mark.)
Mains voltages: 100 - 240
Volts. (The shaver adjusts
automatically.)
5The green pilot light comes on and
one of the blocks of the charge meter
will start flashing.
If the batteries are empty this will be
the first block.
The red pilot light will remain on until
there is enough energy in the
rechargeable batteries for one
cordless shave (3 minutes).
6Each time when 20% of the full charge
has been accomplished the next block
of the energy meter will start to flash.

7After 60 minutes, the word “FULL”
and the green pilot light come on
flashing. This means that the shaver
is fully charged.
■■■ Cordless shaving
8When shaving cordless with the fully
charged shaver, first the word
“FULL” will disappear.
After some time the fifth block will
disappear, etc.
9You can always check how much
charge is available in the
rechargeable batteries.
(The indication of the meter does not
apply to the shaving performance.)
10 When block “20” is flashing and the
red pilot light comes on, the reserve
energy has been reached. (You will
be able to complete the shave.)
As the shaver is switched off you will
hear a sound signal for 4 seconds
and the red pilot light will start
flashing.
This indicates that it is time to
recharge the shaver.

■■■ Have you missed out charging?
When the batteries are completely empty and the
shaver stops, you can give the shaver a quick
charge (sufficient for one cordless shave):
- Charge the shaver until the red pilot light goes out.
■■■ Shaving directly from the mains supply
(wall socket)
- If you wish you can connect the shaver to a wall
socket using the mains cord and shave directly
from the mains supply.

■■■ Shaving
11 Switch on.
12 The comfort control can be adjusted to suit
skin sensitivity.
Start with the control set to position 1(for sensitive
skin) and then try other positions to find the one
that suits you best.
13 Move the shaving unit quickly over the skin
and especially against the direction of the hair
growth, stretching the skin with your free hand to
bring the hairs into an upright position.
• Best results are obtained if the skin is dry.
Preferably shave before or some time after
washing.
• If required apply a pre-shave lotion. This can be
particularly helpful if the climate is warm and
humid.
