USER MANUAL Activator 8585 BRAUN

5644451_S3 Seite 1 Freitag, 4. April 2003 10:51 104 Your Activator (shaver with Clean&Charge station) is a system equipped with highly advanced electronic processors. It ensures unsurpassed closeness and comfort for you and optimum care for your shaver:

• The system automatically adapts to any voltage worldwide.

• The system recognizes when cleaning of your shaver is required, and automatically recognizes which of the three cleaning programs is appropriate.

• While the shaver is connected to the mains, the system automatically takes care of charging and discharging in a way that is optimized for the shaver’s battery capacity and life span.

• The system takes care of lubrication of the shaver’s cutting parts.

• The system tells you when to replace the shaving foil and cutter block. Warning Your Activator is provided with a low-voltage adapter. Therefore you must not exchange or manipulate any part of it. Otherwise there is risk of electric shock. In order to avoid any leakage of the cleaning fluid, place the Clean&Charge station on a flat, stable surface. Do not tip, move suddenly or transport the station in any way if a cleaning cartridge is installed. Do not place the station in a mirror cabinet, nor store it over radiators, nor place it on polished or laquered surfaces. Do not expose to direct sunlight. The station contains highly flammable liquid. Keep it away from sources of ignition. No smoking. Keep out of reach of children. Do not refill cartridge. Use only original Braun refill cartridge.

Before shaving If you wish, you may start shaving right away (if the shaver is charged, see section «Shaver indicator lights»). However, we recommend to follow the procedure described here:

• Using the low-voltage adapter (1), connect the mains socket of the Clean&Charge station (7) to the mains.

• Press the station lift button (4) to open the housing.

• Hold the cleaning cartridge (8) down on a flat, stable surface (e.g. table).

• Carefully remove the lid from the cartridge.

• Slide the cartridge into the base of the station as far as it will go.

• Slowly close the housing by pushing it down until it locks. eco norm

5644451_S4_102 Seite 5 Montag, 8. September 2003 1:20 136 The display for cleaning fluid (6) will show how much cleaning fluid is in the cartridge: a) Cleaning solution sufficiently available b) Up to 7 cleanings left c) New cartridge required Make sure the foil protection cap (9) is removed from the shaver. Insert the shaver head down into the station (the contacts on the back of the shaver (14) will correspond to the contacts in the station (3)). If necessary, the system will now charge the shaver. Also, the cleaning status will be automatically analyzed and one of the four diodes of the cleaning program display (5) will light up: a) The shaver is clean b) Eco(nomic), i.e. short cleaning required c) Normal cleaning required d) Intensive cleaning required If the system has selected one of the three cleaning programs, it will not start until you push down the «start cleaning» button (2). This locks the shaver into the station and starts the cleaning process. We recommend cleaning after each shave. While the cleaning is in progress, the respective cleaning program light will flash. Each cleaning consists of several cycles (where the cleaning fluid is flushed through the shaver head) and a heat drying period. The total cleaning time is 33 to 50 minutes. Cleaning processes in the Clean&Charge should not be interrupted. While the shaver is drying, the metal parts of the shaver may be hot. Also, if the shaver is taken out prematurely and is not dry, its electronics could be harmed. When the program is finished, the blue «clean» light will shine. You can release the shaver by pushing the «start cleaning» button. Your shaver is now clean, charged and ready for use. cartridge full empty cartridge full empty cartridge full empty

Switch positions off = (switch is locked) Press and push up the switch to operate the shaver: 1=Shaving with the pivoting head (the pivoting cutting system automatically adjusts to every contour of your face). 2= Shaving with the pivoting head locked at an angle (to permit shaving in difficult areas, e.g. under the nose). 3=The long hair trimmer is activated (for trimming sideburns, moustache and beard). Tips for the perfect shave We recommend that you shave before washing, as the skin tends to be slightly swollen after washing. Hold the shaver at right angles (90°) to the skin. Stretch your skin and shave against the direction of beard growth. To maintain 100% shaving performance, replace your foil and cutterblock every 18 months or when worn. Shaving with the cord If the shaver is completely discharged and you do not have the time to recharge in the Clean&Charge station, you may also shave with the shaver connected to the mains via the low-voltage adapter. After shaving Automatic cleaning After each shave, return the shaver to the Clean&Charge station and proceed as described above in the section «Before shaving». All charging and cleaning needs are then taken care of. With daily use, a cleaning cartridge should be sufficient for about 30 cleaning cycles. The hygienic cleaning solution cartridge contains alcohol which, once opened, will naturally evaporate slowly into the surrounding air. Each cartridge, if not used daily, should be replaced after approximately 8 weeks.

Switch on the shaver for approx. 5–10 seconds so that the shaved stubbles can fall out. Thorough manual cleaning Manual cleaning is recommended only when the Clean&Charge station is not available, e.g. when travel- ling. Never use water to clean the shaver. Remove the shaver foil and tap it out on a flat surface. Using the brush, clean the cutter block and the inner area of the pivoting head. If you do not use the Clean&Charge station for a longer period of time, you should apply a drop of light machine oil onto the shaver foil. Replacing the cartridge After having pressed the lift button (4) to open the housing, wait for a few seconds before removing the used cartridge. Before discarding the used cartridge, make sure to close the openings using the lid of the new cartridge, since the used cartridge will contain contaminated cleaning solution. Cleaning the housing Clean the housing of shaver and station from time to time with a damp cloth, especially inside the opening of the station where the shaver rests. The shaver indicator lights Pilot light (18): the shaver is connected to the mains. The red low-charge light (17) flashes when the battery capacity has dropped below 20%, provided the shaver is switched on. The remaining capacity will then be sufficient for 2 to 3 shaves.

5644451_S4_102 Seite 8 Montag, 8. September 2003 1:20 139 Model 8590: When the shaver is fully charged, all five charging lights (16) will light up (20% per light), provided the shaver is connected to the mains or switched on. Model 8585: The green single charging light (16) shows that the shaver is being charged. When fully charged, the charging light flashes or goes off. If later on, the charging light comes on again, this indicates that the shaver is being recharged to maintain its full capacity. Charging information A full charge will give up to 50 minutes of cordless shaving time, depending on your beard growth. Best environmental temperature range for charging is 15 °C to 35 °C. For battery maintenance, the system will automatically initiate full discharging and then recharging of the batteries. This will take place every six months at the most, and only if necessary.
