Before use

This Wet/Dry shaver can be used for wet shaving with shaving lather or for dry shaving. You can use this watertight shaver in the shower and clean it in water. The following is the symbol 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

Connect the power cord to the shaver, and plug the adaptor into an AC outlet. (see fig. 1 (A))

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

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

•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 (ES8164) or charge status lamp (ES8162) may not illuminate for a few minutes after operation. These lights will eventually illuminate if kept connected.

Adequate ambient temperature for charging is between 15 to 35 °C.

•If it is far below or over the appropriate temperature, the charging time may be extended, or the adaptor may not function.

•In particular, low temperature may shorten the life span of the rechargeable battery. In this case, the backlight of LCD display (ES8164) or charge status lamp (ES8162) blinks twice in 1 second.

[for ES8164]

When the shaver is being charged, the backlight of LCD display turns on, and the plug symbol appears (see fig. 2 (A)).

It shows the remaining battery capacity from 0% to 100%, in 10% increments.

When the charging is completed, it will indicate “100%” and the backlight of LCD display will flash once per second. It will flash once every 2 seconds for 10 minutes after charging is completed (see fig. 2 (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 display when the remaining battery capacity 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.)

[for ES8162]

The charge status lamp will glow when the shaver is being charged. the 100 to 20 indicator on the battery capacity monitor will all illuminate and the charge status lamp will blink after charging is completed (see fig. 2 (C)).

10 minutes after charging is completed, the battery capacity monitor will extinguish and the charge status lamp will continue to blink (see fig. 2 (D)).

You can fully charge the shaver in 1 hour if the LED display shows 20%.

The battery capacity monitor indi-

cates the charge remaining in the 8

battery. The unit can be used once or twice more after “20” starts to blink. (Differs depending on the use situation.)

A full charge will supply enough power for approx. 14 shaves (3 minutes per shave for a normal beard). Before travelling, charge your shaver fully for 1 hour if you will not be taking the adaptor with you.

In case your shaver is without charge, you may quick charge it for 1 shave in about 5 minutes.

Charge with charging stand

(see fig. 1 (B))

To charge with the charging stand, connect the power cord to the charging stand. Place the shaver into the stand, and plug the adaptor into the AC outlet.

You can always store your shaver in the charging stand to maintain full battery capacity. This shaver cannot be overcharged.

Using your shaver

Caution – The system outer foil is very thin and can be damaged if handled improperly. Before each use, always check the foil for damage. To avoid personal injury, do not use if the foil or other parts of the shaving head are damaged.

Disconnect the power cord from the shaver, and push the On/Off switch to turn the shaver on.

If you push and hold the On/Off switch for more than 2 seconds, it will activate the turbo mode for “sonic” vibration cleaning.

(see “Cleaning your shaver”) Caution:

Shaving with “sonic” vibration may damage your skin. Please turn it off and on again to deactivate the turbo mode.

Do not place fingers on the On/Off switch during use.

This may cause the shaver to stop during use or change it to the “sonic” vibration cleaning mode. Place your finger on the finger rest during use.

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 direction of your beard. You may gently increase the amount of pressure as your skin becomes accustomed to this shaver. Applying excessive pressure does not provide a closer shave.

System outer foil

(see fig. 5)

System outer foil has a slit blade (a) between 2 foils (b). They move up and down independently to follow the contours of your face.

The slit blade catches and cuts longer and lying hairs easily.

For wet shaving

Put a thin layer of shaving foam on your face which works as a lubricant. Shaving foam is the most suitable 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 under running water.

Using the trimmer

(see fig. 6)

Slide the trimmer handle up to open the trimmer.

Place the trimmer at a right angle to your skin and move it downward to trim sideburns.

Cleaning your shaver

(see fig. 7)

Pivot action selector

(see fig. 4)

Use the pivot action selector to choose the shaving mode, “soft” and “lock” based on your shaving preference.

The pivot action can be changed whether the switch is turned on or off.

Warning – To prevent electric shock or personal injury, disconnect the power cord from the shaver before cleaning with water.

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 preventing odors or bacteria from devel-
