scrolls across the display and light in display starts
blinking.

The number on the display shows remaining
shaving time in minutes.The "squares" around the

power is still left in batteries.
C◗Low Battery Indicator

When fully charged, "Shaving Minutes Left" ranges
from 55 to 70 minutes and is based on the

whether you use pre-shave lotion, shaving habits
and how often the trimmer is used.

your accurate “Shaving Minutes Left.”
