time and when the display indicates that the
battery is almost empty.
Charging takes approx. 1 hour. A fully charged
shaver has a shaving time of up to 60 minutes.
Note: You cannot use the shaver while it is
charging.
Note: Depending on your shaving/styling behavior
and beard type, the operating time may vary over
time.

this may cause injury. Always replace a
damaged part with one of the original type.

as described in this manual.
- For hygienic reasons, the shaver should only be
used by one person.
- Trimming is easier when the skin and hair are
dry.
Note:This product can be used without cord or
directly from the power outlet.
Put it to the test
- 21 Day Trial and Conversion Process. It is a fact
that your skin and beard need time to adjust to
a new grooming system.
- Use your new shaver exclusively for 3 weeks to
fully enjoy the closeness of a Philips 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
shaver.
11
English

- Stick with it! If you alternate shaving methods
during the adjustment period, it may make it
more difficult to adapt to the Philips shaving
system.

Philips will refund you the full purchase price as
long as the request is received within 45 days of
purchase.
