LED CHARGE INDICATOR
LED Charge Indicator Light
The green LED Charging Indicator will light up to
indicate razor is (re)charging.
Full Charge Indicator
When batteries have been fully charged,the green LED
light will blink.
CHARGING
Battery performance is best if you recharge only when
the batteries are (almost) completely empty.
Charging or recharging at temperatures below 40ºF or
higher than 95ºF adversely affects lifetime of batteries.
Continuously recharging or continuously using as a
corded razor will reduce life of batteries.
You may also shave using the charging plug provided. This
razor will not recharge while being used corded.
The charging plug transforms 100-240 volts to a voltage
lower than 24 volts.
1 Connect cord to razor. Connect the charging plug into
any 100V to 240V AC outlet.Use only the cord provided.The
green Charging Indicator will light up to indicate razor is
(re)charging.
An adaptor plug may be necessary for charging plug usage in
some foreign countries. Use an attachment plug adaptor of
the proper configuration for the power outlet. Your charging
plug will automatically convert to work on 100V to 240V AC
Systems.
Do not charge razor in pouch.
2 First time charging and recharging after non-use for
1 month or more requires a full 4 hours.

PUT IT TO THE TEST & SHAVING TIPS
21 Day Trial 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 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 Norelco shaving system.
If you are still not convinced after 21 days, Norelco will
refund you the full purchase price,guaranteed.

HOW TO SHAVE WITH AN ELECTRIC RAZOR
Shaving with a clean,dry face gives the best results.
1 Turn razor ON. Shave against the direction of beard
growth using both straight and circular movements.
2 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 NOTpress too hard. Too much pressure
can pinch the skin into the combs.
3 Turn razor OFF.
4 Put the protective razor head cap on the razor to
protect razor heads.
Replace Spectra razor heads (model # HQ8)
once a year for optimal shaving results.
TRIMMING
To groom sideburns and moustache:
1 Turn razor ON.
2 Push up Trimmer Slide Switch.
The Trimmer can be activated while the razor is
running.
