AVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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. 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.
Charge the shaver for at least 8 hours
before using it for the first time or
when it has not been in use for more
than six months.

Charging adaptor
(see fig. 1)
Lift the charging adaptor holder until
it clicks in when charging the shaver,
(see fig. 1(A))
(Restore the charging adaptor holder
when carrying the unit.) (see fig, 1 (B))
Rotate the stand on the bottom of the
charging adaptor when you need
extra stability, (see fig. 1 (C))
Charging
(see fig. 2)
Place the charging adaptor upright
on a flat surface. Plug the adaptor into
an AC outlet.
Place it upright into the charging
adaptor with the switch facing toward
the front.
The charge status lamp will glow red
when the shaver is placed on a right
charging position. It will flicker red
when the charging is completed (see
fig. 2(A)).
You can fully charge the shaver in
1 hour if the low battery indicator
flashes green (see fig. 2(B)).
A full charge will supply enough
power for about 7 shaves (three min
utes per shave for a normal beard).
You can always store your shaver in
the charging adaptor to maintain full
power capacity. This shaver cannot
be overcharged.
Before traveling, charge it fully for
1 hour if you will not be taking the
charging adaptor with you.
In case your shaver is discharged,
you may quick charge it for one shave
in about five minutes.
Using your shaver
Push the switch button to turn the
shaver on. Hold the shaver at a right
angle (90'’) to your skin (see fig. 3).
Start out shaving by applying gentle
pressure to your face. Stretch your
skin with your free hand and move
the shaver back and forth in the di
rection of your beard. You may gen
tly increase the amount of pressure
as your skin becomes accustomed
to this shaver. Applying excessive
pressure does not provide a closer
shave.
For wet shaving
Put a thin layer of shaving foam on
your face which works as a lubrica
tor. Shaving foam is the most suit
able among many other shaving aids
(gel, soap, cream, etc). Do not put a
thick layer of shaving foam as it may
affect shaver's performance. If the
shaving head is clogged with foam,
simply rinse it underrunning water.
System outer foil
(see fig. 4)
System outer foil has a slit blade (a)
between two foils (b), They move up
and down independently to follow the
contours o1 your face.
The slit blade catches and cuts
longer and lying hairs easily.
Using the trimnrier
(see fig. 5)
Slide the trimmer handle up to the
mm position until it clicks in.
Place the trimmer at a right angle to
your skin and move it downward to
trim sideburns.
Cleaning your shaver
(see fig. 6)
For cleanliness and convenience, we
recommend that you clean your
shaver with water and a liquid hand
soap. Regular cleaning will keep your
shaver in good condition while pre
venting odors or bacteria from devel
oping, and maintain the cutting per
formance.
With the system outer foil in place,
apply some hand soap onto the outer
foil.
Turn the shaver on and pour some
water over the outer foil.
After about 10-20 seconds, turn the
shaver off.
Remove the system outer foil and
clean it with running water.
Wipe off any moisture from the
shaver with a dry cloth and remove
the protective cap to allow the sys
tem outer foil to dry completely.
Replacing shaving head
components
It is recommended that you replace
the outer foil at least every year and
the inner blade at least every two
years to maintain your shaver’s cut
ting performance.
Replacing the system outer foil
(see fig. 7)
Squeeze the system outer foil re
lease buttons and lift the system
outer foil upward to remove it. To in
sert the new system outer foil, press
down until it snaps into place.
