C
Low Battery Indicator  
Battery performance is best if you recharge  
only when the batteries are (almost)  
completely empty.  
Charging or recharging at temperatures below  
40°F and higher than 95°F adversely affects  
lifetime of batteries.  
If the batteries run low, the red indicator light  
will turn on while shaving. After razor has  
been switched OFF, the red indicator light will  
blink for 4 seconds.  
Charging Indicator  
Continuously recharging or continuously using  
as a corded razor will reduce life of batteries.  
You may also shave using the cord provided.  
This razor will not recharge while being used  
corded.

Put ItToTheTest & ShavingTips  
21 DayTrial and Conversion Process.It is a fact  
that your skin and beard need time to adjust to  
a new shaving system.  
Use your new razor exclusively for 3 weeks to  
fully enjoy the closeness of a Philips Norelco  
shave.  
At first you may not get as close a shave as  
you expect, or your face may even become  
slightly irritated.This is normal since your  
beard and skin will need time to adjust. Invest  
3 weeks and you’ll soon experience the full  
joy of your new razor.  
Stick with it! If you alternate shaving methods  
during the adjustment period,it may make it  
more difficult to adapt to the Philips Norelco  
shaving system.  
Stretch your skin with your free hand so  
blades can lift and cut whiskers. Gently  
press razor to skin so the floating heads can  
follow the contours of your face. DO NOT  
press too hard.Too much pressure can  
pinch the skin into the combs.  
Turn razor OFF by pressing the on/off  
button once.  
The green light ring around the on/off button goes  
OFF.
