Tips For Use
• Clean your shaver frequently.
•Always keep the protective headquard on the cutter head and keep
the trimmer in the “off” position when the shaver is not in use.
•Before using,make sure that the cutter head assembly is in locked
position.
• Wait at least 15 minutes after getting up before shaving.
•Thoroughly cleanse and dry skin prior to shaving.
• Your R-850 cord/cordless shaver should not be used strictly as
a cord-operated shaver, as continued cord only use will result in
reduction of battery life.
Operation Instructions
The MicroFlex™shaver needs no adjustments to the heads or cutters
before you shave.The floating heads will automatically adjust to the
contours of your face.It is not necessary to apply pressure while shav-
ing...let the shaver glide lightly on your skin.This gentle touch makes
shaving easier and helps avoid possible skin irritation.
Getting Used To Your Shaver
As with every shaver, your shaver will improve over time. So
allow about three weeks to develop an effective shaving style
and for your skin to adjust to the new shaver.The adaptation
period may take a little longer if your skin is sensitive,if you
are switching from a different way of shaving,or it your alter-
nate between shaving methods.
To Shave
Push the on/off button locking bar
inward and push upward on the on/off
button to actuate the shaver for shav-
ing.(Locking bar on rechargeable
models only.)
To Trim
To use the Easy-View™pop-up trimmer,
simply push the trimmer button up.The
trimmer will pop-up for use.Hold the
shaver as shown in the illustration.To
conserve battery energy (on recharge-
able shavers only),it is recommended to use the trimmer only
when needed for trimming.When through using,push the
trimmer button downward to lock into the off position.
Trim Sideburns
Simply touch the comb-edge of the
trimmer to the desired line for neat,
clean sideburns.
Trim mustache
Hold shaver at desired trim line for a
quick easy, professional trim.The trim-
mer can also be used to trim the upper
edge of your moustache.
Shaving Tips and Instructions
For a smoother,more comfortable,moisture free shave,use
a Remington®Pre-Shave Powder Stick.For those who prefer
a liquid,use the non-greasy Remington®Pre Shave Lotion,
specially formulated with a unique suspended powder and
aloe for extra conditioning and protection.

When is it time to replace your heads
and cutters?
It is very important to replace your heads and cutters when
necessary to insure a close,comfortable shave without irrita-
tion.We recommend they be replaced every 12 months.Here
are some signs of head and cutter wear, indicating that
replacement is needed.
Irritation:
As the heads get excessively worn there may be some skin irri-
tation.This would be especially noticed when applying After
Shave lotion.
When the cutters wear you may feel a sense of “pulling”and a
loss of closeness when you shave.This is an indication that it
is time to replace your heads and cutters.

To Charge (Models R-842, R-845,R-850)
MODEL R-850 has a red low-battery indicator
to show when shaver needs recharging. This also
indicates approximately 5 to 6 minutes of shaving
time left when indicator first comes on. Prior to
using your shaver for the first time, put it on
charge for 24 hours. To charge your shaver:
• Slide the On/Off Button to the “Off” position.
• Connect the cord to the shaver and then to
the electric outlet. The Charging Indicator light
will glow green, indicating your shaver is charging.
• Your shaver cannot be overcharged, so you can
leave it plugged in and charging between shaves.
• Use only the cord supplied with shaver. The
R-842 and R-845 are designed for cordless opera-
tion only. Plugging in the cord will not provide the
power to shave. The R-850, on the other hand,
comes with a special feature that allows you to
shave while your shaver is plugged in. Just follow
the steps above to plug in the cord. Turn on the
shaver by pressing on the Locking Bar and sliding
the On/Off Button upward. Your shaver will not
recharge while you are shaving, so after shaving,
leave it plugged in so it can be recharged.
Corded Operation
Connect cord to shaver and then to electrical outlet.
Make sure shaver is turned off before plugging
cord into outlet.
