higher than 95ºF adversely affects lifetime of batteries.

be recharged for a full 16 hours.
Do not charge razor in pouch (model 3605X only).

1 month or more requires a full 16 hours.

SHAVING
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 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.
Shaving with skin dry gives the best results.
1Turn 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.
3Turn razor OFF.

(model # HQ4) once a year for optimal shaving results.
