Usage Tips

To Charge

Before using your shaver for the first time, charge it for 24 hours.

• Slide the ON / OFF button to the OFF position.
  Connect the cord to the shaver and then to the electrical 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 supplied cord.
  The R-846 is designed for cordless operation only. Plugging in the cord will not provide the power to shave.

The R-846 and R-950 fully recharge in 16 hours. Quick Charge enables the R-960 and R-970 to fully recharge in 1 hour.

Once fully charged, your shaver will run up to 40 minutes without a cord.

Cored Operation

The R-950/960/970 have a corded operation feature that allows you to run the shaver directly off the cord in cases when batteries are low. Simply connect the cord to the shaver and then to an electrical outlet. Turn the shaver on and proceed to shave.

Note: Your shaver will not recharge during corded operation,so after shaving,turn the shaver off and leave it plugged in so it can be recharged.

Getting a Close, Comfortable Shave

Remington shavers need no adjustments to their heads or cutters before you shave. The heads will automatically adjust to the contours of your face.It is not necessary to apply pressure while shaving,just let the shaver glide lightly on your skin.This gentle touch makes shaving easier and helps avoid possible skin irritation.

As with every shaver, your shave will improve over time. So allow about three weeks to develop an effective shaving style and for your beard to adjust to the new shaver. The adaptation period may take a little longer if your skin is sensitive, or if you alternate between shaving methods.

It's simple to get a great shave from your new shaver. Here are a few tips:

Always use a clean, dry shaver. Make sure that the cutter head assembly is in the locked position.

Wait at least 15 minutes after getting up before shaving, to ensure your face is free of puffiness that may be present from sleeping.

Make sure your face is clean and dry before starting.

To shave

Push the ON/OFF button to activate the shaver for shaving.

Hold the shaver so all the heads touch your face together.

This allows the shaver to work the way it was designed for the closest shave and minimum wear. Avoid holding the shaver at an angle so only one head touches the skin. This could cause skin irritation.

Use short,circular

strokes.Use your free hand to stretch your skin. This encourages your whiskers to stand out, making it easier for them to enter the cutting

Never press hard. Pressing only flattens your whiskers which makes it harder for them to enter the cutting chamber. It will also wear out the cutting surface mo

To trim

To use the Easy-View pop-up trimmer, simply push the trimmer button up. The trimmer will pop up for ready use. Hold the shaver

as shown in the illustration. To conserve battery energy (on rechargeable 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 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 trimmer can also be used to trim the upper edge of your mustache.

! Always keep the protective head guard on the shaver head and keep the trimmer in the OFF position when the shaver is not in use.

For an even better shave...

Remington Pre-Shave Powder Stick (SP-5) or the Pre-Shave Lotion with Aloe (SP-6) can help maximize your shaver's performance. Just rub either product over your beard. Both absorb moisture and facial oils, helping set up the hairs so they enter the cutting chamber more easily. They make shaving quicker and more comfortable.
