Note:The shaver is equipped with an intelligent self-
learning system that monitors the shaver’s energy
consumption and converts the remaining battery
capacity into shaving minutes.The energy consumption
and therefore the remaining number of shaving
minutes depend on your skin and beard type and your
shaving behaviour (e.g. the use of shaving gel). If the
number of shaving minutes of the fully charged shaver
is less than 60 minutes, this is completely normal and
does not mean that the battery capacity of the shaver
has diminished.

are only 5 or fewer shaving minutes left), the
minutes indication starts to ash.

saving mode.When the shaver enters the power-
saving mode, the light in the on/off button goes out
to save energy.

movement for 5 minutes (for instance when you

Shaving
Skin adaptation period
Your rst shaves may not bring you the result you
expect and your skin may even become slightly
irritated.This is normal.Your skin and beard need
time to adapt to any new shaving system.

a week) for a period of 3 weeks to allow your skin
to adapt to the new shaver. During this period, use
your new electric shaver exclusively and do not use
other shaving methods. If you use different shaving
methods, it is more difcult for your skin to adapt to
the new shaving system.
