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”.

■■■ Charging
5Insert the small plug into the shaver. Ensure
that the plug is pushed fully home. (Note the
indication mark.)
6Mains voltages: 12 - 240 Volts. (The shaver
adjusts automatically.)
7Ensure that the shaver is switched off. (Pilot
light in the switch not illuminated.)
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. 32 hours.
•It is advisable to charge the shaver at temper-
atures 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 is fully
charged when the green pilot light starts to flash
and the word “FULL” is displayed.
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.
■■■ Signals
Minutes Left. On the display you can
always check the amount of shaving time
which is still available for you until the
reserve energy is reached.
This “Minutes Left”indication applies to
you personally, as it is based on the
amount of power you consume per minute.
This is dependent upon the type of skin, the type of
beard, shaving habits and how often the trimmer is
used.
The shaver memory needs some time to gather the
data. As a result, the indicated available shaving time
may vary especially during the initial period.
Regular cleaning of the shaver means that less
battery energy is consumed, so that more shaving
time becomes available.
Energy meter. The blocks always tell how
much energy the rechargeable batteries
contain.
(The indications of the energy meter do not
apply to the shaving performance.)

Sound signal + RE + mains plug =
Recharge!
If there is a sound signal audible after switching off
-and RE (= reserve capacity) is indicated on the
display together with a flashing mains plug symbol
then this indicates that it is time to recharge the
shaver.

CHARGING
CORDLESS SHAVING

■■■ Have you missed out charging?
If you have delayed recharging until the reserve
capacity has been used up, the shaver will switch off
automatically. If this happens, you can give the
shaver a quick charge (sufficient for one cordless
shave):
- Charge the shaver until the required number of
shaving minutes (“minutes left”) are shown on the
display.
■■■ 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
8Switch on. (Pilot light comes on.)
9The 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.
10 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.
