Before use

This Wet/Dry shaver can be used for wet shaving with shaving lather or for dry shaving. You can use this water- tight shaver in the shower and clean it in water. The following is the sym- bol of Wet shaver.The symbol means that hand-held part may be used in a bath or shower.

Treat yourself to wet lather shaves for at least three weeks and notice the difference. Your Panasonic Wet/ Dry shaver requires a little time to get used to because your skin and beard need about a month to adjust to any new shaving method.

Charging with self-clean- ing recharger

Before each use, ensure that the recharger unit is clean and dry. Thoroughly wipe off any water or moisture on or around the recharger unit.

1.Attach the detergent cartridge and the water tank securely to the self-cleaning recharger (see fig. 13, 14, 15).

2.Insert the appliance plug into the socket (see fig. 16-1).

3.Firmly insert the adaptor into the AC outlet (see fig. 16-2).

It will be adjusted automatically to voltages between 100-240V AC.

In some areas, a special plug adaptor may be required.

4.Pull up the arm of the self-clean- ing recharger until it clicks (see fig. 17-3).

5.Remove the protective cap and set the shaver firmly onto the self- cleaning recharger until it clicks (see fig. 17-4).

The Self-cleaning recharger is set on the (Charge) mode when the shaver is set on.

Do not push the arm down- wards.

Ensure that the outer foil does not get deformed or damaged when placing the shaver into the self-cleaning recharger.

Note

Use the self-cleaning recharger in environments that do not exceed ambient temperatures of 15 to 35°C and humidity levels of 95%.

If it is far below or over the appro- priate temperature, the charging time may extend, or the Self-clean- ing recharger may not function.

In particular, low temperature may shorten the life span of the re- chargeable battery. In this case, the backlight of LCD display blinks twice in 1 second.

When charging the shaver for the first time or when it has not been in use for more than 6 months, the plug symbol and backlight of LCD display may not illuminate for a few minutes after operation. These lights will eventually illuminate if kept connected.

When the shaver is being charged, the backlight of LCD display turns on, and the plug symbol appears (see fig. 4 (A)).

It shows the remaining battery capac- ity from 0% to 100%, in 10% incre- ments.

When the charging is completed, it will indicate “100%” and the backlight of LCD display will flash once in about 1 second. It will flash once in about 2 seconds for 10 minutes after charg- ing is completed (see fig. 4 (B)).

You can fully charge the shaver in 1 hour if the LCD display shows 10% and lower.

The plug symbol blinks in the LCD dis- play when the remaining battery ca- pacity is 10% and less.

The unit can be used once or twice more after the LCD display starts to show 10%. (Differs depending on the use situation.)

A full charge will supply enough power for approx. 14 shaves (3 min- utes per shave for a normal beard). You can always connect your shaver to the self-cleaning recharger or the adaptor to maintain full battery ca- pacity. This shaver cannot be over- charged.

Before travelling, charge it fully for 1 hour if you will not be taking the adap- tor with you.

Charging without self- cleaning recharger

Connect the power cord to the shaver, and plug the adaptor to an AC outlet (see fig. 5). The shaver will be adjusted automatically to voltages between 100-240V AC.

In some areas, a special plug adap- tor may be required.
