(Based on one 3-minute dry-shave usages per day in an ambient temperature range of 20^ - 30^ .)

The available days depend on the usage conditions: beard thickness, pressure applied to the skin, and use of wet shaving.

• If there is noise from the radio or other sources while this product is used or charged, move this product to a different location or charge it with another household outlet.

How to use

• You cannot operate this product while charging.

To power on/off:

Touch point A with a finger until the white indicator lights on, slide your finger from point A to point B, and stop at point B for a moment.

Tips for Use:

1. Finish your sliding within 1 second.
2. During sliding, do not allow other fingers to touch the area of the power switch.
3. Wearing gloves or wet hands may affect the touch sensing effect.

This product comes with a "shaving sensor", which automatically adjusts the shaving force depending on the beard thickness. This product increases the shaving force in areas with dense beard and reduces the force in areas with sparse beard to reduce the burden on the skin.

The following can be used during wet shaving:

Shaving agent	Shaving foam	✓
	Shaving gel	✓
	Shaving cream	×
Facial cleanser	Cleansing foam (without facial scrub)	✓
	Cleansing foam (including facial scrub)	×
	Cleansing soap	✓
Bathing soap	Liquid	✓
	Foam	✓

How to improve the shaving effect

• Apply the whole system outer foil perpendicularly against the skin and shave by slowly sliding this product over the face against the grain of the beard.
• To prevent damaging the system outer foil, do not shave with only a part of the system outer foil.
• The beard under the chin and around the throat can be shaved better by stretching the skin so the beard will stand.
