remaining shaving minutes available.
When fully charged, "Shaving Minutes Left" ranges
from 55 to 70 minutes and is based on the
amount of power consumed shaving per minute
and is dependent upon your skin and beard type,
whether you use pre-shave lotion,shaving habits
and how often the trimmer is used.

2 or 3 full charge/recharge cycles before
"Minutes Left" indicator begins to display
your accurate "Shaving Minutes Left".

3 The squares around the edge of the charge
meter indicate how much power is left in
the batteries.

completely empty.

below 40cF or higher than 95cF adversely
affects lifetime of batteries.
◗ Continuously recharging or continuously using
as a corded razor will reduce life of batteries.

provided.This razor will not recharge while
being used corded.
◗ Recharge only when plug symbol starts
blinking.This symbol may appear when your
razor is ON or OFF.
◗ The charging plug transforms 100-240 volts to
a voltage lower than 24 volts.
C

charging plug into any 100V to 240V AC
outlet.
Use only the charging plug provided.The light in

configuration for the power outlet.The charging
plug will automatically convert to work on 100V
to 240V AC Systems.

approximately 1 hour.
4 When razor is fully charged, disconnect

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.
