Before First Use

Charge the razor before you start using it (see 'Charging'). Make sure the razor is switched off before you start charging it.

Important

▶ Only use the power cord provided to charge the razor.

Charging

Continuously recharging or continuously using as a corded razor will reduce life of batteries.
You may also shave using the power cord provided. This razor will not recharge while being used corded.
Charging and recharging requires a full 8 hours.
If razor has not been used for at least 1 month, razor must be recharged for 8 full hours.

The razor will automatically convert to work on 100V to 240V AC systems.

As you charge razor, the Charging Light will light up to indicate razor is charging.

2 Charging and recharging requires 8 full hours. A fully charged razor has a cordless shaving time of up to 30 minutes.

Recharging

1 Re-harging requires 8 hours.

2 When razor is fully charged, disconnect the charging plug from outlet.

Do not keep razor permanently plugged into outlet.

Put It To The Test & Shaving Tips

21 Day Trial and Conversion Process. It is a fact that your skin and beard need time to adjust to any new shaving system.

Use your new razor exclusively for 3 weeks to fully enjoy the closeness of a Philips 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 Philips Norelco shaving system.

If you are not convinced after 21 days, Philips Norelco will refund you the full purchase price as long as the request is received within 45 days of purchase.
