to an electrical outlet. Some minutes after completing the charging, the shaver
switches to the stand-by-mode: The display turns off.
Low-charge light (16b)
The red low-charge light flashes when the battery is running low. The remaining battery
capacity is sufficient for 2 to 3 shaves.
Charging information
• A full charge will take about 1 hour and provides up to 50 minutes of cordless shaving
time. This may vary according to your beard growth and environmental temperature.
5-minute quick charge is sufficient for a shave.
• Recommended ambient temperature for charging is 41 °F to 95 °F / 5 °C to 35 °C. The
battery may not charge properly or at all under extreme low or high temperatures.
Recommended ambient temperature for shaving is 60 °F to 95 °F / 15 °C to 35 °C.
Do not expose the shaver to temperatures higher than 122 °F / 50 °C for extended
periods of time.
Using the shaver
How to use
Press the on/off switch (12) to operate the shaver:
• The pivoting shaver head and floating foils automatically adjust to every contour of
your face.
• To shave hard to reach areas (e.g. under the nose), first slide the shaver head to the
back position, afterwards move the head lock switch to the back. The pivoting head is
locked at this angle.
• To trim sideburns, moustache or beard, slide the pop-out long hair trimmer (11)
upwards.
Tips for the perfect dry shave
For best shaving results, Braun recommends you follow 3 simple steps:
1. Always shave before washing your face.
2. At all times, hold the shaver at right angles (90°) to your skin.
3. Stretch your skin and shave against the direction of your beard growth.
Personalizing your shaver
By holding down the accelerator button –/+ (13) or (14) you can adjust the shaving
power to your individual needs in the different areas of your face from sensitive to
intensive. The pilot light in the on/off switch (12) changes within the following range:
(–) sensitive shave
– light blue
– dark blue
– green
(+) intensive shave
For a thorough and fast shave we recommend the green (intensive) setting.
When switching on next time, the last used setting will be activated.
