All the battery capacity lamp and ➞ will glow and then turn off after 5 seconds.

Notes

  • When charging the shaver for the first time or when it has not been in use for more than 6 months, the charging time may change or the charge status lamp (▶) may not glow for a few minutes. It will eventually glow if kept connected.
  • Recommended ambient temperature for charging is 10^ - 35^ (50°F - 95°F). It may take longer to charge, or the charge status lamp () will blink quickly and the battery may fail to charge properly in extremely high or low temperatures.

• The shaver can be used for approximately 2 weeks with a full charge.

(Based on one 3-minute dry-shave usage per day in an ambient temperature range of 20^ - 30^ [68 °F - 86 °F].)

The number of usable days varies depending on the following conditions.

  • Beard thickness
  • Pressure applied to the skin
    -Usage frequency of the sonic vibration cleaning mode
  • If there is noise from the radio or other sources while using or charging the appliance, move to a different location to use the appliance.

How to use

Shaving beard

1 Press and shave.

- The "shaving sensor", which automatically adjusts the power depending on the beard thickness, will operate.

It will shave with high power on areas where the beard is heavy, and reduce the power on areas where the beard is thin, to reduce burden on the skin.

PANASONIC ES-ALV6H - Press and shave. - 1

Tips for better shaving

Apply the whole system outer foil perpendicularly against the skin and shave by slowly gliding the shaver over the face against the grain of the beard.
