LED Indicators
C ◗ Charging Indicator
When you charge razor, the charge light on
the display will light up green.
C ◗ Full Charge Indicator
When the batteries have been fully charged,
the top light blinks green.
Before First Use
◗ Charge the razor before you start using
it (see ‘Charging’). Make sure the razor is
switched off before you start charging it.
Important
◗ Only use the power plug provided to charge
the razor.
◗ The charging plug converts 100 – 240V AC to
less than 24V DC.
Charging
◗ Battery performance is best if you recharge
only when the batteries are (almost)
completely empty.
10 ENGLISH
◗ 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.
◗ Do not charge razor in a pouch.
◗ Do not charge/recharge or use razor corded
until fully dried.
C 1 Connect cord directly to razor and
connect the charging plug into any 100V to
240V AC outlet. Use only the charging plug
provided.
◗ 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.
The charging plug will automatically convert to
work on 100V to 240V AC systems.
2 First time charging and recharging after
non-use for 1 month or more requires a
full 4 hours. A fully charged razor has a
cordless shaving time of up to 17 days.
When batteries are fully charged, the top light
blinks green.
11
ENGLISH
◗ Do not leave the razor continuously plugged
into outlet charging as it would reduce life
of batteries. Remove the plug from outlet as
soon as the razor is fully charged.
Recharging
1 First time charging requires 4 hours. After
initial charge, recharging requires 1 hour.
2 When razor is fully charged, disconnect the
charging plug from outlet.
Do not keep razor permanently plugged into
outlet.
Quick Charge
When batteries are totally depleted, recharging the
razor for approximately 3 minutes gives enough
energy for a 3-minute cordless shave.
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 Philips Norelco
shave.
12 ENGLISH
◗ 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 Philips Norelco
shaving system.
◗ If you are still not convinced after 21 days,
Philips Norelco will refund you the full
purchase price as long as the request is
received within 45 days of purchase.
How To Shave With An Electric Razor
◗ Use this razor for its intended household use
as described in this manual.
◗ Shaving with a clean, dry face gives the best
results.
C 1 Turn razor ON by pressing the on/off
button once. The blue light ring around
the button will light to indicate razor is 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
NOT press too hard. Too much pressure
can pinch the skin into the combs.
13
ENGLISH
3 Turn razor OFF by pressing the on/off
button once.
The blue light ring around on/off button goes
OFF.
C 4 Put the Protective Razor Head Cap on the
razor to protect razor heads.
For optimal shaving results, replace Philips
Norelco razor heads (model HQ8) once a year.
Trimming
To groom sideburns and moustache:
1 Turn razor ON.
C 2 Push down spring-release trimmer switch.
The trimmer can be activated while the razor is
running.
C 3 Hold trimmer as shown and move in
downward strokes with gentle pressure.
C 4 Close trimmer by pressing trimmer down.
5 Turn razor OFF.
14 ENGLISH
Cleaning
C◗ The tap symbol on the back of the razor
indicates that the razor can be rinsed under
running tap water.
◗ Regular cleaning guarantees better shaving
results.
◗ Always switch Razor OFF, unplug and remove
power cord before cleaning.
◗ Never clean, remove or replace head assembly
while motor is on.
◗
Do not apply pressure to combs. Do not touch
razor heads with hard objects as this may dent
or damage precision-made slotted combs.
◗ Do not use razor if combs are damaged or
broken. Facial injury may occur.
Cleaning: Razor Heads
The quickest and easiest way to clean the razor
heads is to rinse them after each use or at least
once a week with hot water: Water from the tap
should be on a hot setting, BUT BE CAREFUL
TO TEST WATER FIRST SO AS NOT TO BURN
OR SCALD HANDS.
◗ Regular cleaning guarantees better shaving
results.
◗ Do not immerse razor in water.
C ◗ While rinsing razor heads, water may drip
out of the base of razor. This is a normal
occurrence.
15
ENGLISH
1 Always turn razor OFF, unplug from outlet
and remove cord from razor before
cleaning.
C 2 Press the Razor Head Release Button, flip
open the Razor Head Assembly.
C 3 Clean inside razor heads and hair chamber
by running under hot water.
C 4 Clean outside of Razor Head Assembly by
running under hot water.
5 Close the Razor Head Assembly and shake
off excess water.
C 6 Open Razor Head assembly again and
leave open to air dry.
NOTE: Do not wipe or dry the shaving heads
with a towel or tissue. This could damage the
shaving heads.
C 7 If the shaving unit becomes detached from
the razor, you can easily reattach it.
8 You may also clean the hair chamber
without water by using the supplied brush.
16 ENGLISH
Once A Month: Razor Heads
Do not mix up the cutters and combs as the
shaving performance may be adversely affected
for several weeks before optimal shaving
performance is restored.
1 Turn razor OFF, remove the charging plug
from the outlet and cord from the razor.
C 2 Press the razor head release button to
open the Razor Head Assembly.
C 3 Turn the black 3-pronged locking bracket
counterclockwise to unlock (1) and
remove the retaining frame (2).
C 4 Remove and clean one set of cutters and
combs at a time.
C 5 Separate the cutter from the comb and
rinse clean under hot water.
17
ENGLISH
Do not clean more than one cutter and comb
at a time, since they are all matching sets. If you
accidentally interchange the cutters and combs, it
could take several weeks before optimal shaving
performance is restored.
C 6 Replace the set back into the Razor Head
Assembly so that the ‘wings’ on the comb
fit within the brackets located towards the
center of the Assembly.
The set will only fit into the Razor Head Assembly
if the ‘wings’ are between the brackets. Make sure
that the two pointy edges of the head fit exactly
into the recesses.
7 Repeat the process for the other two sets
of cutters and combs.
8 Replace the frame.
C 9 Press down (1) and turn the black
3-pronged locking bracket clockwise (2)
until it locks into place.
10 Close the Razor Head Assembly.
18 ENGLISH
Once A Month: Razor Head
For optimum performance, razor cutters and
combs should be cleaned in a degreasing liquid
(e.g. rubbing alcohol) and lubricated with one
drop of mineral oil (in the center of the head).
This helps prevent wear of the shaving heads.
After Each Use: Trimmer
1 Turn razor OFF.
2 Push down spring-release trimmer switch.
C 3 Clean trimmer with the brush every time
you use it.
C 4 Lubricate the trimmer teeth with one
drop of mineral oil every 6 months.
5 Close trimmer by pressing trimmer down.
This razor has no other user-serviceable parts.
