a 15 min auto-shutoff feature.
After 15 minutes of continuous
use, the shaver will deactivate.
This will preserve the charge in
your batteries should the shaver
accidentally turn on during storage
or travel.
CAUTION!
■
Make sure the shaver and your
hands are dry when attaching the
shaver to the charging unit.
■
Always charge the shaver in a cool,
dry place.
Selecting your beard type:
The beard-type selector switch is
located on the bottom of the shaver
next to the charging port. This
switch allows you to customize your
shaver to meet your facial hair type.
There are three settings to choose
from: heavy, medium, or light. NOTE:
Beard-type refers to the individual
thickness of hair follicles (coarse,
medium, or fine) and speed of facial
hair growth (fast, medium, or slow).
Generally, coarse beards grow at a
faster rate and fine beards grow at
a slower rate. Most men will set the
shaver to “medium” setting.
The beard-type selector switch
allows the shaver to more accurately
gauge when the shaving cartridge
needs to be replaced. Heavy beards
will fill the cartridge more quickly
than lighter beards and will need to
How To Use
Before using read the important
safety instruction section in front
of manual.
To Charge Your Shaver
Make sure to charge your new
rechargeable shaver for 24 hours
before its first use. This first charge
is important to the shaver’s battery
life. After the first long charge, your
shaver will recharge more quickly.
■
Make sure the shaver is in the off
position.
■
Connect the cord to the shaver and
then to the electrical outlet. The
charging indicator light will flash
green, indicating your shaver is
charging.
■
After the shaver batteries are fully
charged, the green indicator light
will continuously glow green.
■
Use the product until the battery is
low. This will be indicated by an
illuminated red light.
To preserve the life of the batter-
ies, let them fully run out every six
months, then recharge them for a full
24 hours
Convenience Features
■
This shaver is equipped with
automatic world-wide voltage.
This means the shaver adapts
automatically to an outlet voltage
between 100V and 240V making it
more convenient for travel.
Corded Use:
1.
Connect the shaver to the outlet
and charging cord.
2.
Follow cordless use directions
from above.
CAUTION!
Extended corded use will result in
the reduction of the battery life.
Automatic Shut-off:
The shaver
will automatically shut off if it is left
on for more than 15 minutes. This
feature is designed so that your
shaver’s batteries will not completely
drain if the shaver is accidentally
turned on (like in your suitcase while
you travel).
Cordless Use:
1.
Begin by removing the protective
headguard from your shaver.
2.
Press the on/off button to turn the
shaver on.
3.
Use the pop-up trimmer to remove
long hair first.
4.
Hold the shaving head so all the
screens touch your skin evenly.
5.
Stretch the skin with your free
hand so the hairs stand upright.
6.
Only apply light pressure on the
shaving head while shaving.
Pressing too hard can damage the
screens and make them vulnerable
to breakage.
7.
Use short, circular strokes.
8.
After shaving, press the on/off
button to turn the shaver off.

be replaced more frequently. When
the cartridge becomes full, the
“replace indicator light”, located
directly under the eject button, will
begin to flash. NOTE: For optimal
performance and the most hygienic
shave, it is important to replace the
cartridge as soon as the indicator
light flashes.
When beard-type is selected with the
switch, the “replace indicator light”
will flash to confirm your choice:
3 flashes for heavy, 2 flashes for
medium, and 1 flash for light. NOTE:
The beard type selector switch can
be changed at any time up to the
third shave, per cartridge. After the
third shave, the selector switch will
be locked until a new cartridge is
installed.
