INSTRUCTIONS
Getting a Close, Comfortable Shave
Congratulations on your purchase of a premium
Remington®MicroScreen®3 TCT®Shaver.Your new
Remington®MicroScreen®3 is the only one with Total
Closeness Technology™(TCT®).TCT®combines more
blades than any other shaver with a specially designed
Intercept Trimmer™and three super-flexing screens
that shave even the most difficult parts of your face,
including your neck,incredibly close.The Intercept
Trimmer™works in tandem with the screens to first
cut the difficult longer hairs that then allows the
screens to shave the shorter hairs even closer.
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.
When you first removed your MicroScreen®3 TCT
®
S h aver from its box, you may have noticed what
appears to be small particles of white or gr ay powder
on the screen or in or around the cutter assembly.
The particles are from a coating of a special lubricant
applied to the new screens and cutters to help
smooth the transition to your new shaver. They will
disappear with use.
The Best Technique
It’s simple to get a great shave from your new shaver.
Here are a few tips for getting the closest shave possible:
1 2
9 3
6
Always use a clean; dry shaver.
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.
Hold the shaver so all three screens touch
your face together. This allows the shaver
to work the way it was designed for the
closest shave and minimum screen wear.
Avoid holding the shaver at an angle so
only one screen touches the skin.This
will distort the screen and may cause
some skin irritation.
Use short, circular strokes.Use your
f ree hand to stretch your skin. T h i s
e n c o u rages your whiskers to stand out,
making it easier for them to enter the
cutting chamber.
Never press hard.Pressing only flattens
your whiskers, which makes it harder for
them to enter the cutting chamber. It will
also wear out the foils more quickly.
Your Remington®MicroScreen®3 TCT®Shaver is equipped with
a special Intercept Trimmer™ that allows you to shave long hairs
on facial and neck areas,or trim a beard or mustache quickly
and easily.
For optimal results,use trimmer setting
#2 to get the tough spots like your neck
and around your chin.
For shaving sideburns/mustache,use
Trimmer setting #3.(Press right side of
trimmer button).
To extend battery life,retract the trimmer to setting #1 while you
are shaving.
For a Better Shave…
To help maximize your shaver’s performance,consider using the
Remington®Pre-Shave Powder Stick (SP-5) or Remington PreShave Lotion (SP-6).Just rub over your beard.Both absorb moisture and facial oils,helping set up the hairs so they enter the cutting chamber more easily. It makes shaving quicker and more
comfortable.
Cleaning your shaver:
TO ASSURE OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE,IT IS RECOMMENDED T H AT YOU CLEAN YOUR SHAVER AFTER EACH
USE.The cutting system of this shaver was designed
to be cleaned by rinsing under warm running water or
by b r u s h i n g .
Cleaning your Remington®MicroScreen®3 TCT®Shaver is
easy.(NOTE: With the MS3-4000,MS3-4500 and MS3-0004
model,the brush icon will blink to remind
you to clean your shaver.)
■ Remove the shaver head by
squeezing on both side buttons and
pulling away from the body of the
shaver.You may blow out the stubble
thoroughly,or rinse the shaver head in water.
Important: Never clean the screen
with the enclosed brush as damage
may occur to the holes in the screen.
■ At least once a week,the cutters and
the trimmer should be cleaned with the
cleaning brush. You can also rinse the
cutter under running water, like the screen.
Caution: Never put the shaver completely under water.
Do not use any aggressive cleansing agent as this may
destroy the shaver coatings.
■ To clean and lubricate your shaver’s
cutters and head assembly, apply
Remington Shaver Sav e r®( S P - 4 )
L u b r i c a n t .The lubricant helps remove
hair clippings while reducing wear.A
quick spray after each shave keeps your shaver
operating at peak
performance.
Caution: Do not remove or replace the head assembly while shaver
is running as it may cause damage to the unit’s screens or cutters.
■ Worn or damaged parts should be replaced with Remington
®
replacement parts only.
Replacing Screens and Cutters
Because they are subject to daily use,the cutters and screens
of your Remington®MicroScreen®3 TCT®Shaver will wear and
e v e n t ually require replacement to maintain a close,comfortable
s h av e . Depending on your shaving technique and hab i t s ,t h e
screens will usually last six months; the cutters,one year. (Note:
Model MS3-4000,MS3-4500 and MS3-0004,the screen icon will
blink when it is time to replace the screens). Some signs that your
screens and cutters need replacing are:
■ Irritation. As screens get worn,you may notice 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.
To prevent inadvertent damage to the Screen and Cutter
Assembly, do not attempt to remove them unless you are
replacing them. To remove the old screens and cutters follow the
instructions that come with the screen and cutter replacement
package. It’s always a good idea to replace the screens when you
replace the cutters.
To Replace a Cutter Assembly That is Removed
Unintentionally:
■ Hold the assembly in the middle of
the "T".
■ Gently slide the plastic portion of the
cutter assembly over the top of the
oscillator tip.
■ Do not push downward on the ends of
the cutters,as you may bend the cutter,
reducing its ability to operate smoothly.
■ Do not remove cutters from the plastic
pieces to which they are attached,as you
may damage the assembly.
Removing the headguard
Before operating your MicroScreen®3 TCT®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 firmly to
the shaver.
■ Press lightly on the top of the
head guard.
■ Lift the lower rear edge.
■ Pull the headguard aw ay from
the shaver.
Shaver Operation
Your shaver has a To ggle Power Button that has diff e r e n t
o p e r ating characteristics depending on which model
shaver you have.

Charging
Prior to using your shaver for the first time, put it on

To charge your shaver:
■ Make sure your shaver is turned off.
■ Connect the cord to the shaver and then the charging adapter
to the electric outlet.A charging indicator light will come on.
■Your shaver cannot be overcharged,so you can leave it plugged
in and charging between shaves.
■ Use only the charging adapter supplied with the shaver.
■The MS3-1000 is designed for cordless operation only. Plugging
in the cord will not provide the power to shave.The MS3-2000/3000/-4000/-0004/-3500/-4500 on the other hand,come with a
special feature that allows you to run the shaver directly off the
cord.Your shaver will not recharge while you are shaving,so after
shaving directly from the cord,turn the unit off and set aside to
charge.
■ The MS3-2000/-3000/-4000/-0004/-3500/-4500 will provide
up to two weeks worth of shaving after a one hour charge or a
single shave after five minutes of charging.

is achieved in 16 hours.
Model MS3-2000
has a green indicator light to show whether the shaver is either fully
charged or charging.A red low-battery indicator illuminates to show
when the shaver needs rechargi n g .This also indicates ap p r o x i m at e ly
5 minutes of shaving time left when indicator first comes on.
Model MS3-3000/-3500
features a green lighted fuel gauge that displays the amount of
charge remaining in 20% increments.When only 20% of the charge
remains,the recharge red warning light illuminates.

has an LCD display numeric indicator to show shaver charge status
in minutes remaining.When the Plug icon comes on, it
indicates approximately 5 to 6 minutes of shaving time left.
Troubleshooting:
■ If your MS3-2000/-3000/-4000/-0004/-3500/-4500 shaver
battery is completely discharged or the shaver has not been used
for an extended period of time,the shaver may not start when
operated using the cord.If this condition occurs, charge the
s h aver for ap p r o x i m at e ly five minutes before shaving.
■ Your MS3-2000/-3000/-4000/-0004/-3500/-4500 cord/cordless shaver should not be used strictly as a cord-operated shaver,
as continued cord only use will result in reduction of battery life.
■ In order to preserve the life of the batteries,they should be fully
discharged every six months and then fully charged for 24 hours.
