Replacing the Shaver Head

  For maximum shaving performance, we advise you to 

replace the shaver head every year (Fig. 1).

  Replace damaged or worn shaver head with model 

RQ12+ or SH90 Philips Norelco shaver head only.

  The shaving head replacement indicator symbol on the 

shaver will blink.
