This shaver is equipped with Bluetooth® 4.2 and higher to connect to the app. When you have paired your shaver and smartphone, Bluetooth on your shaver is switched on automatically, even when the shaver is switched off. This allows your shave data to be synced later so you don't need to take your smartphone with you when you shave. The first few times you switch on the shaver, the notification symbol flashes if no connection is established with a smartphone.

You can switch off Bluetooth on your shaver by activating the travel lock (see 'Storage and travel').
