Frequently Asked Questions - Series 1000 QC5099 PHILIPS

How to charge the trimmer for the first time?

Make sure the appliance is switched off. Insert the plug into the appliance, then plug the adapter into a power outlet. The charging indicator lights up. Charge for 12 hours before first use. Never charge for more than 24 hours.

What is the battery runtime?

Once fully charged, the battery provides approximately 50 minutes of trimming.

Can I use the trimmer plugged into the mains?

Yes, if the battery is depleted, you can use the appliance on mains power. Switch off the appliance, plug it in, wait a few seconds, then switch on. However, do not use on mains power if the battery is full.

How to adjust the cutting length with the comb?

Attach the comb to the appliance (click). Turn the adjustment ring to the right or left to select the desired length. The small comb offers lengths from 3 to 21 mm, the large comb from 23 to 41 mm. Start with the longest length and then reduce gradually.

How to clean the trimmer?

After each use, switch off and unplug the appliance. Remove the comb and the trimmer head. Clean the trimmer head and the inside of the appliance with the supplied cleaning brush. Never use abrasive products, alcohol, or acetone. No lubrication is necessary.

Can I use the trimmer without a comb?

Yes, remove the comb by pulling on its lower part (do not pull on the flexible part). Use it without a comb to trim the neckline and around the ears, which cuts hair close to the scalp.

What to do if the trimmer head is worn or damaged?

The trimmer head must only be replaced with an original Philips trimmer head. Press on the center part of the head with your thumb and slide it upwards to remove. Insert the tab of the new head and push it back into place (click).

How to remove the battery at the end of the appliance's life?

Completely discharge the battery by letting the appliance run until it stops. Unplug and remove the trimmer head. Unscrew the screws, open the housing, remove the printed circuit board and the battery. Follow the steps detailed in the manual (fig. 11-18). Take the used battery to a collection point.

Is the trimmer waterproof?

No, the appliance is not waterproof. Never immerse the trimmer or adapter in water or any other liquid. Do not rinse it under the tap. Clean it only with the provided brush.

What to do if the trimmer stops working?

First check the battery charge. If the charging indicator does not light up, try another adapter. If the problem persists, contact the Philips Consumer Service in your country or visit www.philips.com for assistance.

Charging

Charge the appliance for 12 hours before you use it for the first time. A fully charged appliance has a cordless clipping time of up to 50 minutes.

Do not charge the appliance for more than 24 hours.

1 Make sure the appliance is switched off. 2 Insert the appliance plug into the appliance (Fig. 1). 3 Insert the adapter into the wall socket. The charging light goes on to indicate that the battery is being charged.

Note: The charging light does not go out or change colour when the appliance is fully charged.

Optimising the lifetime of the rechargeable battery

Using the appliance

Clipping with comb attachment

Select the small or large comb attachment, depending on the desired hair length.

Hair length settings:

• The hair length settings are indicated in millimetres on the arms of the comb attachment. The settings correspond to the remaining hair length after cutting (Fig. 2).
• The small comb attachment cuts hair to a length of 3mm, 6mm, 9mm, 12mm, 15mm, 18mm or 21mm.
• The large comb attachment cuts the hair to a length of 23mm, 26mm, 29mm, 32mm, 35mm, 38mm or 41mm.

1 Slide the arms of the comb attachment into the guiding grooves of the appliance ('click') (Fig. 3). 2 To set the comb attachment to the desired hair length, turn the hair length adjustment ring to the right or to the left (Fig. 4). 3 Switch on the appliance.

Tips

• We advise you to start clipping at the highest setting of the large comb attachment and to reduce the hair length in small steps until you reach the desired hair length.
• If a lot of hair has accumulated in the comb attachment, remove the comb attachment and blow and/or shake the hair out of it. Removing

the comb attachment does not change the selected hair length setting.

- Write down the hair length settings used to create a certain hairstyle as a reminder for future clipping sessions.

Clipping without comb attachment

You can use the clipper without comb attachment to contour the neckline and the area around the ears.

- To remove the comb attachment, pull it off the appliance (Fig. 5). Never pull at the flexible top of the comb attachment. Always pull at the bottom part.

- The comb attachment keeps the cutting unit at a certain distance from your head. This means that, if you use the clipper without the comb attachment, your hair will be cut off very close to the skin.

Using the precision trimmer

You can use the precision trimmer for precise contouring and defining.

1 Push the middle part of the cutting unit upwards with your thumb until it opens and then pull it off the appliance (Fig. 6). Be careful that the cutting unit does not fall to the floor.

2 Place the lug of the precision trimmer into the slot and push the unit back onto the appliance ('click') (Fig. 7).

Corded clipping

When the rechargeable battery is empty, you can also run the appliance from the mains.

Do not run the appliance from the mains when the battery is fully charged.

To use the hair clipper connected to the mains:

1 Switch off the hair clipper and connect it to the mains. 2 Wait a few seconds and then switch on the appliance.

Cleaning

Clean the appliance every time you have used it.

Never use scouring pads, abrasive cleaning agents or aggressive liquids such as alcohol, petrol or acetone to clean the appliance.

Only clean the appliance and the adapter with the cleaning brush supplied.

1 Make sure the appliance is switched off and disconnected from the mains. 2 Pull the comb attachment off the appliance (Fig. 5). 3 Push the middle part of the cutting unit upwards with your thumb until it opens and then pull it off the appliance (Fig. 6).

Be careful that the cutting unit does not fall to the floor.

4 Clean the cutting unit with the cleaning brush supplied (Fig. 8). 5 Clean the inside of the appliance with the cleaning brush supplied. 6 Place the lug of the cutting unit into the slot and push the unit back onto the appliance ('click') (Fig. 7).

Note: This appliance does not need any lubrication.

Replacement

Only replace a damaged or worn cutting unit with an original Philips cutting unit.

1 Push the middle part of the cutting unit upwards with your thumb until it opens and then pull it off the appliance (Fig. 6). 2 Place the lug of the new cutting unit into the slot and push the unit back onto the appliance ('click') (Fig. 7).
