Power System
■ Rechargeable shavers can only be used
without the cord.
■ Cord/cordless rechargeable shavers
can be used with or without the cord.
They do not recharge during use,
however,and frequent corded use will
result in reduction of battery life.
Quick Charge (MS2-390 only)
Quick Charge shavers fully recharge in one
hour.Five minutes gives you enough power
for a single shave. Quick charge is not
advised to be done on a regualr basis.
Indicator Lights
Charging
The charging indicator is a green light that
glows when the shaver is charging or fully
charged.
Low-charge (MS2-390 only)
The low-charge indicator is a red light that
glows when the shaver needs recharging.
You have approximately 5 minutes of
shaving time left when the red indicator
first comes on.
Worldwide Voltage
Your shaver can be used almost anywhere
in the world, because it has automatic dual
voltage conversion, providing AC current
between 100-240 volts AC,50-60 Hz. Just
plug it in to the local outlet (you may need
an adapter plug) and use it as usual.

Charging
Before using your shaver for the first time,
put it on charge for 24 hours.
NOTE: It may take up to 3 cycles for the
battery to reach full capacity.
To charge your shaver:
■ Push the power button to the OFF
position.
■ Connect the supplied AC power cord to
the shaver’s recharge port and then to
an electrical outlet.
■ Your shaver cannot be overcharged, so
you can leave it plugged in and charging
between shaves.
■ To preserve the life of the batteries, allow
them to fully discharge every six months,
then recharge them for 24 hours.
Removing the Headguard
Before operating your
shaver,remove the headguard, which protects
the screen and cutter
assembly.It is important
to remove the headguard
correctly to avoid damaging
the clips that hold it to the shaver.
1. Press lightly on the top of the headguard.
2. Lift the lower rear edge.
3. Pull the headguard away from
the shaver.
! Always keep the protective head guard
on the shaver head and keep the trimmer
in the OFF position when the shaver is not
in use.
Operating the Trimmer
Your shaver is equipped with a 3-position
trimmer.
1. Completely retracted (down), the trimmer
is out of the way and off, for when you
want to use the screens alone. Press the
trimmer down with your thumb to get it
into this position.
2.
In the middle position,
the trimmer works
with the screens,
cutting the longer,
hard-to-shave hairs
so the screens can
get in extra close.
Push the LEFT side
of trimmer button for
this position.
3. Fully extended (up),
the trimmer can be
used to trim your
sideburns and
mustache. Push
the RIGHT side of
trimmer button for
this position.
How it works
Titanium-coated trimmer blades work in
concert with the shaver’s dual-screen
system, cutting the longer, difficult-to-shave
hairs.Titanium coating protects the trimmer
blades as they take the brunt of the
shaver
wear and tear,so you get a close comfortable
shave
, time after time.
Adjusting to your new shaver
As with every shaver,your shave will
improve over time. So allow about three
weeks to develop an effective shaving style
and for your beard to adjust to the new
shaver.The adaptation period may take a
little longer if your skin is sensitive, or if
you alternate between shaving methods.
To help smooth the transition to your new
shaver,Remington
®
has applied a special
lubricant to the shaver’s screens and
cutters.The lubricant looks like fine, white
or gray powder,and disappears with use.
Before you begin:
■ Wait at least 15 minutes
after getting up before
shaving, to ensure the
face is free of puffiness
that may be present from
sleeping.
■ Make sure your face is
clean and dry before
starting.
■ Al ways use a clean, dry
shaver.
To shave
Push the ON/OFF button.
Hold the shaver so both
foils touch your face at
the same time.This
allows the shaver to work
the way it was
designed
for the closest shave and minimum
wear.
Avoid holding the shaver at an angle so
only one screen touches the skin at a time.
This will distort the screen and could cause
skin irritation.
Shave with short,
circular strokes. Use
your free hand to
stretch your skin.
This encourages your
whiskers to stand out,
making it
easier for them
to enter the cutting chamber.
Never press hard.
Pressing only flattens
your whiskers, making
it harder for them
to enter the cutting
chamber.It will also
wear out the cutting
surface more quickly.
For an even better shave…
Remington
®
Pre-Shave Powder Stick
(SP-5) can help maximize your shaver’s
performance. Just rub the product over
your beard. Its absorbs moisture and facial
oils, helping set up the hairs so they enter
the cutting chamber more easily.It
makes
shaving quicker and more comfortable.

When is it time to replace your screens
and cutters?
Because they are subject to daily use, the
cutters and screens of your shaver will
wear and eventually require replacement to
maintain a close,comfortable shave. It is
very important to replace your screens and
cutters when necessary to ensure a close,
comfortable shave without irritation.
Depending on your shaving technique
and habits, the screens will usually last 6
months; the cutters, 12 months.If you are
replacing the cutters, it’s a good idea to
replace the screens at the same time.
Here are some signs that your foils and
cutters need replacing:
Irritation: As screens get worn, you may
notice that your skin feels more sensitive
after a shave, particularly when you apply
aftershave.
Pulling: As cutters wear, your shave may
not feel as close and you may feel your
shaver is pulling at your whiskers.
Wear-through:You may notice that the
cutters have worn through the screens.
The replacement for this shaver is model
SP-67 (screens) and SP-69 (screens and
cutters).
