■ This shaver is equipped with a 15 min auto-shutoff feature. After 15 minutes of continuous use, the shaver will deactivate. This will preserve the charge in your batteries should the shaver accidentally turn on during storage or travel.

CAUTION!

■ Make sure the shaver and your hands are dry when attaching the shaver to the charging unit.

■ Always charge the shaver in a cool, dry place.

Selecting your beard type:

The beard-type selector switch is located on the bottom of the shaver next to the charging port. This switch allows you to customize your shaver to meet your facial hair type. There are three settings to choose from: heavy, medium, or light. NOTE: Beard-type refers to the individual thickness of hair follicles (coarse, medium, or fine) and speed of facial hair growth (fast, medium, or slow). Generally, coarse beards grow at a faster rate and fine beards grow at a slower rate. Most men will set the shaver to “medium” setting.

The beard-type selector switch allows the shaver to more accurately gauge when the shaving cartridge needs to be replaced. Heavy beards will fill the cartridge more quickly than lighter beards and will need to

How To Use

Before using read the important safety instruction section in front of manual.

To Charge Your Shaver

Make sure to charge your new rechargeable shaver for 24 hours before its first use. This first charge is important to the shaver’s battery life. After the first long charge, your shaver will recharge more quickly.

■ Make sure the shaver is in the off position.

■ Connect the cord to the shaver and then to the electrical outlet. The charging indicator light will flash green, indicating your shaver is charging.

■ After the shaver batteries are fully charged, the green indicator light will continuously glow green.

■ Use the product until the battery is low. This will be indicated by an illuminated red light.

To preserve the life of the batter

ies, let them fully run out every six months, then recharge them for a full 24 hours

Convenience Features

■ This shaver is equipped with

automatic world-wide voltage. This means the shaver adapts automatically to an outlet voltage between 100V and 240V making it more convenient for travel.

Corded Use:

1. Connect the shaver to the outlet

and charging cord.

2. Follow cordless use directions

from above.

CAUTION!

Extended corded use will result in the reduction of the battery life.

Automatic Shut-off: The shaver will automatically shut off if it is left on for more than 15 minutes. This feature is designed so that your shaver’s batteries will not completely drain if the shaver is accidentally turned on (like in your suitcase while you travel).

Cordless Use:

1. Begin by removing the protective

headguard from your shaver.

2. Press the on/off button to turn the

shaver on.

3. Use the pop-up trimmer to remove

long hair first.

4. Hold the shaving head so all the

screens touch your skin evenly.

5. Stretch the skin with your free

hand so the hairs stand upright.

6. Only apply light pressure on the

shaving head while shaving. Pressing too hard can damage the screens and make them vulnerable to breakage.

7. Use short, circular strokes.

8. After shaving, press the on/off

button to turn the shaver off.

be replaced more frequently. When the cartridge becomes full, the “replace indicator light”, located directly under the eject button, will begin to flash. NOTE: For optimal performance and the most hygienic shave, it is important to replace the cartridge as soon as the indicator light flashes.

When beard-type is selected with the switch, the “replace indicator light” will flash to confirm your choice: 3 flashes for heavy, 2 flashes for medium, and 1 flash for light. NOTE: The beard type selector switch can be changed at any time up to the third shave, per cartridge. After the third shave, the selector switch will be locked until a new cartridge is installed.

Usage Tips

34768_HGX-1_IB_update.indd 6-7 8/30/07 12:02:20 PM

User Maintenance

The hand-held unit shall be detached from the power supply cord before cleaning. The shaver shall not be used until it has dried.

Replacing the Shaving Head Cartridge:

When your shaver’s cartridge replacement indicator begins to flash, it is time to replace the shaving head. The replacement part is model HGXRC1(1-pack) or HGX-RC2(2-pack).

In order to change the shaving head cartridge, simply push the eject button on the shaver and the cartridge will eject from the shaver. If a cartridge is ejected before the indicator light flash

es, the cartridge can be placed back onto the shaver until the hair pocket becomes full. When a new cartridge is installed, the replace indicator light will flash, confirming the beard-type set

ting (3 flashes for heavy, 2 flashes for

medium, 1 flash for light). The beardtype selector switch can be changed at any time up to the third shave, per cartridge. After the third shave, the selector switch will be locked until a new cartridge is installed.

Typically, a shaver with a medium beard type selected will take approximately 30 shaves to fill the hair collection cham

ber. The shaver will count a full shave if the shaver is on for at least one minute or more. The total number of shaves for each replacement cartridge will depend on what beard-type is selected (light, medium, or heavy).

Replacement Cartridge is model HGX-RC1(1-pack) or HGX-RC2 (2-pack).

cartridge.

5. Remove screws holding housing

6. Pull the insert frame out of the

casing.

7. Cut or break the wire straps on

both ends of the batteries, pry the batteries from the foam adhesive tape on the Circuit Board.

8. Dispose of batteries properly.

Disposal

Rechargeable Battery Removal

When your rechargeable shaver reaches the end of its useful life, the batteries must be removed from the shaver and be recycled or disposed of properly in accordance with your state and local requirements. If this is not required by law, you may elect to dispose of the shaver without the batteries.

CAUTION! Do not put in fire or mutilate your batteries when disposing as they may burst and release toxic materials. Do not short circuit as it may cause burns. Dispose of prop

erly in accordance with your local and state requirements.

Shaving Tips:

■

Ensure your skin is dry and free of oils.

■

Always hold the shaver at a right angle to the skin so that the foils are touching the skin with equal pressure.

■ Use moderate to slow, circular stroking movement.

■ The use of short, circular motions in stubborn areas may obtain a closer shave, especially along the neck and chin line.

■

Do not press hard against the skin in order to avoid damage to the foils.

■

Do not hold the shaver at an angle in which only one foil is touching the skin- this will distort the foil and may cause the cutters to damage the foil.
