4. Pull up the arm of the self-clean-
ing recharger until it clicks (see
fig. 17-3).
5. Remove the protective cap and
set the shaver firmly onto the self-
cleaning recharger until it clicks
(see fig. 17-4).
• The Self-cleaning recharger is
set on the (Charge) mode when
the shaver is set on.
• Do not push the arm down-
wards.
• Ensure that the outer foil does
not get deformed or damaged
when placing the shaver into the
self-cleaning recharger.Note• Use the self-cleaning recharger in
environments that do not exceed
ambient temperatures of 15 to
35°C and humidity levels of 95%.
• If it is far below or over the appro-
priate temperature, the charging
time may extend, or the Self-clean-
ing recharger may not function.
• In particular, low temperature may
shorten the life span of the re-
chargeable battery. In this case, the
backlight of LCD display blinks
twice in 1 second.
• When charging the shaver for the
first time or when it has not been in
use for more than 6 months, the
plug symbol and backlight of LCD
display may not illuminate for a few
minutes after operation. These
lights will eventually illuminate if
kept connected.
When the shaver is being charged, the
backlight of  LCD display turns on, and
the plug symbol appears (see fig. 4
(A)).It shows the remaining battery capac-
ity from 0% to 100%, in 10% incre-
ments.
When the charging is completed, it will
indicate “100%” and the backlight of
LCD display will flash once in about 1
second. It will flash once in about 2
seconds for 10 minutes after charg-
ing is completed (see fig. 4 (B)).
You can fully charge the shaver in 1
hour if the LCD display shows 10%
and lower.
The plug symbol blinks in the LCD dis-
play when the remaining battery ca-
pacity is 10% and less.
The unit can be used once or twice
more after the LCD display starts to
show 10%. (Differs depending on the
use situation.)
A full charge will supply enough
power for approx. 14 shaves (3 min-
utes per shave for a normal beard).
You can always connect your shaver
to the self-cleaning recharger or the
adaptor to maintain full battery ca-
pacity. This shaver cannot be over-
charged.
Before travelling, charge it fully for 1
hour if you will not be taking the adap-
tor with you.
Charging without self-
cleaning rechargerConnect the power cord to the
shaver, and plug the adaptor to an
AC outlet (see fig. 5). The shaver will
be adjusted automatically to voltages
between 100-240V AC.
In some areas, a special plug adap-
tor may be required.9
8
Before useThis Wet/Dry shaver can be used for
wet shaving with shaving lather or for
dry shaving. You can use this water-
tight shaver in the shower and clean
it in water. The following is the sym-
bol of Wet shaver. The symbol means
that hand-held part may be used in
a bath or shower.Treat yourself to wet lather shaves
for at least three weeks and notice
the difference. Your Panasonic Wet/
Dry shaver requires a little time to get
used to because your skin and beard
need about a month to adjust to any
new shaving method.Parts identification

Cleaning your shaver1 Cleaning with the self-cleaning
recharger
Preparing the self-cleaning
recharger
Warning – Do not wash or apply
water to the adaptor or self-clean-
ing recharger.
Failure to observe this may cause
electric shock or result in short
circuits.
1. Detach the shaver and the appli-
ance plug from the self-cleaning
recharger.
2. Fill the water tank with water.
1) Remove the water tank from
the self-cleaning recharger
(see fig. 10-1).
2) Open the water tank cap (see
fig. 10-2).
3) Wash away the old cleaning
liquid inside the water tank and
rinse (see fig. 11).
4) Pour tap water up until the
feed water line (see fig. 12).
* Do not pour water over the
water feed line in the tank.
This may cause the clean-
ing liquid to spill.
3. Firmly shut the water tank cap
and attach the tank to the self-
cleaning recharger (see fig. 13).
4. Peel off the seals from the new
detergent cartridge (two seals)
(see fig. 14).
•Hold the detergent cartridge
horizontally. (The detergent
may spill if tilted excessively.)
5. Attach the detergent cartridge to
the self-cleaning recharger (see
fig. 15).•Do not use any solution other
than the Panasonic Shaver self-
cleaning recharger special de-
tergent.
•Be sure to change the deter-
gent cartridge and the cleaning
liquid inside the water tank si-
multaneously.
Adding water, or changing just
the detergent cartridge or the
water, will result in deteriorated
cleaning functions.
•When the self-cleaning
recharger is operated, the con-
centrated detergent inside the
cartridge will be diluted and the
water inside the tank will be-
come a cleaning liquid.
Cleaning your shaver
1. Insert the appliance plug into the
self-cleaning recharger socket
(see fig. 16-1).
2. Firmly insert the adaptor into the
AC outlet (see fig. 16-2).
3. Pull up the arm of the self-clean-
ing recharger until it clicks (see
fig. 17-3).
4. Remove the protective cap and
set the shaver firmly onto the self-
cleaning recharger until it clicks
(see fig. 17-4).
•Ensure that the outer foil does
not get deformed or damaged
during setting.
•Before using the self-cleaning
recharger, make sure the
shaver has been rinsed
thoroughly with water if it has
been washed with hand soap
or any other detergent, and
swish water off properly before
setting the shaver into the self-
cleaning recharger unit.

Using your shaverCaution– The system outer foil is
very thin and can be damaged if
handled improperly. Before each
use, always check the foil for dam-
age. To avoid personal injury, do
not use if the foil or other parts of
the shaving head are damaged.
Push the On/Off switch to turn the
shaver on.
If you push and hold the On/Off
switch for more than 2 seconds, it
will activate the turbo mode for
“sonic” vibration cleaning.
(see“Cleaning your shaver with-
out the self-cleaning recharger”)
Shaving with “sonic” vibration may
damage your skin. Please turn it
off and on again to deactivate the
turbo mode.
Do not place fingers on the On/Off
switch during use.
This may cause the shaver to stop
during use or change it to the
“sonic” vibration cleaning mode.
Place your finger on the finger rest
during use.
Hold the shaver at a right angle (90°)
to your skin (see fig. 6). Start out
shaving by applying gentle pressure
to your face. Stretch your skin with
your free hand and move the shaver
back and forth in the direction of your
beard. You may gently increase the
amount of pressure as your skin be-
comes accustomed to this shaver.
Applying excessive pressure does
not provide a closer shave.Pivot action selector
(see fig. 7)
Use the pivot action selector to
choose the shaving mode, “soft”
(soft) and “lock” (lock) based on your
shaving preference.
The pivot action can be changed
whether the switch is turned on or
off.
System outer foil
(see fig. 8)
System outer foil has a slit blade (a)
between 2 foils (b). They move up
and down independently to follow the
contours of your face.
The slit blade catches and cuts
longer and lying hairs easily.
For wet shavingPut a thin layer of shaving foam on
your face which works as a lubricant.
Shaving foam is the most suitable
among many other shaving aids (gel,
soap, cream, etc.). Do not put a thick
layer of shaving foam as it may af-
fect shaver’s performance. If the
shaving head is clogged with foam,
simply rinse it under running water.Using the trimmer(see fig. 9)
Slide the trimmer handle up to open
the trimmer.
Place the trimmer at a right angle to
your skin and move it downward to
trim sideburns.

It is recommended to clean the
shaver with the self-cleaning
recharger after every shave.
Change the cartridges when the
status lamp is illuminated. Before
exchange, make sure to inspect the
cartridges with following procedure.
Checking the status lamp
In cases when the status lamp blinks,
carry out the following inspections.
1. Is the detergent cartridge set
properly?
→ Properly set the detergent car-
tridge (see fig. 15).
2. Was the detergent cartridge de-
tached during cleaning?
→ Reset the detergent cartridge.
After completing inspection and treat-
ment
•Properly set the detergent cartridge
to extinguish the status lamp and
start each course.
In cases when the status lamp is
illuminated, detach the shaver from
the self-cleaning recharger and carry
out the following inspections.
•Note that there are cases where the
blade will be hot or wet if cleaning
is not completed.
•Check to ensure that the clean
lamp has been extinguished.
1. Is the water tank and its cap set
properly?
→Attach the water tank and its
cap properly.
2. Is the self-cleaning recharger
tilted?
→Place the self-cleaning
recharger on a horizontal surface.When an abnormality has been
corrected in accordance with the
above two inspections.
•Hold down the select button for
approximately two seconds to ex-
tinguish the status lamp and start
each course.
When no abnormality was found af-
ter the above two inspections.
•It is time to replace the detergent
cartridge and cleaning liquid inside
the water tank. (The same cartridge
has been used to clean approxi-
mately 30 ~ 40 days worth of beard
shavings.)
→ Drain the old cleaning liquid in-
side the water tank and refill the
tank with water. Additionally,
replace the old detergent cartridge
with a new one.
•If the status lamp blinks or
illuminates again even after the in-
spections and treatments above
have been carried out, contact an
authorized service center.
2 Cleaning your shaver without
the self-cleaning recharger
(see fig. 19)
Warning – To prevent electric
shock or personal injury, turn the
shaver off and disconnect the
power cord from the shaver before
cleaning with water.
With the system outer foil in place,
apply some hand soap onto the outer
foil.
Push the On/Off switch more than 2
seconds to activate the turbo mode
for “sonic” vibration cleaning.
13
12
The presence of soap or any
other detergent residue will
contaminate the cleaning
solution in the self-cleaning
recharger unit and could lead
to poor cleaning performance.
5. To clean the shaver, select either
the (Clean/Dry/Charge) course or
the (Clean/Dry) course.
To dry the shaver after rinsing,
select the (Dry/Charge) course or
the (Dry) course (see fig. 18).
•The (Charge) course will
begin immediately when the
shaver is set onto the self-
cleaning recharger.
•A total of five courses are
available.
The display will alternate
between (Clean/Dry/Charge)
→ (Clean/Dry) → (Dry/Charge)
→ (Dry) → (Charge) whenever
the select button is pressed.
•The course will start
approximately six seconds
after being selected.
* Press the select button within
six seconds to choose a
different course (see fig. 3).
WARNING – Do not remove the
shaver from the self-cleaning
recharger when courses that
include the (Dry) function are in
use. A heater is used during the
drying process, and this may result
in the area around the blade
becoming extremely hot and
causing burns.
The course will be aborted if the
power is cut off during cleaning. Inthis event, it is necessary to perform
the (Clean/Dry/Charge) or (Clean/
Dry) course once again from the
beginning.
It will take about 3 hours to finish the
(Clean/Dry/Charge) or (Clean/Dry)
course.
The clean and dry lamp will blink
after the (Clean/Dry/Charge) or
(Clean/Dry) course is completed.
•The self-cleaning recharger is
mainly designed to clean the
blades (outer foil and inner blades).
Areas that are not soaked into the
cleaning liquid or around the sur-
face of the liquid are not subject to
cleaning.
Carry out brush cleaning or wash
with water to remove beard trim-
mings in these areas.
Replacing the Detergent Cartridge
Note: In order to maintain maximum
cleaning performance, it is
important to replace the water
in the water tank at the same
time you replace the cartridge.

spéciale peut s’avérer
nécessaire.
4. Tirez le bras du chargeur auto-
nettoyant vers le haut jusqu’à ce
que vous entendiez un déclic (voir
fig. 17-3).
5. Retirez le capuchon protecteur et
enclenchez le rasoir fermement
sur le chargeur auto-nettoyant
jusqu’à ce que vous entendiez un
déclic (voir fig. 17-4).
•Le chargeur auto-nettoyant se
met en mode (Charge) lorsque
le rasoir est allumé.
•Ne tirez pas le bras du chargeur
vers le bas.
•Veillez à ce que la grille
extérieure ne se déforme pas
ou ne s’abîme pas lorsque vous
placez le rasoir dans le
chargeur auto-nettoyant.
Remarque• Utilisez le chargeur auto-nettoyant
dans des endroits où la
température ambiante se situe ent-
re 15 et 35°C et où le taux
d’humidité ne dépasse pas 95%.
• A des températures inférieures ou
supérieures aux températures
recommandées, il se peut que le
temps de charge soit plus long, ou
que le chargeur auto-nettoyant ne
fonctionne pas.
• Des températures basses en
particulier peuvent réduire la durée
de vie de la batterie rechargeable.
Dans ce cas, le rétroéclairage de
l’écran ACL clignote deux fois par
seconde.
• Si vous chargez votre rasoir pour
la première fois ou si vous ne l’avez
pas utilisé pendant plus de 6 mois,il est possible que le symbole
représentant une prise électrique
ou que le rétroéclairage de l’écran
ACL ne s’allume pas pendant les
quelques minutes qui suivent
l’opération. Ces voyants finiront par
s’allumer si le rasoir reste branché.
Quand le rasoir se recharge, le
rétroéclairage de l’écran ACL
s’illumine, et le symbole représentant
une prise apparaît (voir fig. 4 (A)).
Celui-ci indique la capacité de charge
restante de 0% à 100% par tranches
de 10%.
À la fin de la charge, celui-ci indique
“100%” et le rétroéclairage de l’écran
ACL va clignoter une fois pendant
environ une seconde. Celui-ci
clignote une fois toutes les
2 secondes pendant 10 minutes à
la fin de la charge (voir fig. 4 (B)).
Le rasoir peut être entièrement
rechargé en 1 heure si l’affichage
ACL indique 10% et moins.
Le symbole de la prise clignote sur
l’écran ACL lorsque la capacité res-
tante de la batterie est inférieure ou
égaleà 10%.
Le rasoir peut encore être utilisé
1 ou 2 fois après que l’écran ACL ait
commencéà indiquer 10%. (Cela
diffère en fonction des conditions
d’utilisation.)
Une charge complète fournit
suffisamment d’énergie pour 14
rasages environ (3 minutes par
rasage pour une barbe normale).
Si vous le désirez, vous pouvez
laisser votre rasoir branché sur le
chargeur auto-nettoyant ou sur
l’adaptateur pour maintenir la batterie
dans un état de charge optimal. Il est
impossible de surcharger ce rasoir.

Avant usageCe rasoir peut être utilisé pour un
rasage à l’eau et à la mousse ou pour
un rasage à sec. Ce rasoir peut se
nettoyer sous l’eau courante et peut
même s’utiliser sous la douche car il
est étanche. Ce qui suit est le
symbole du rasoir humide. Le
symbole signifie que la partie tenue
en main est utilisable dans le bain
ou sous la douche.Faites un essai en utilisant de l’eau
et de la mousse à raser pendant trois
semaines et vous verrez la
différence. Le rasoir Panasonic
nécessite un temps d’adaptation car
il faut environ un mois pour que la
peau et la barbe s’habituent à une
nouvelle méthode de rasage.Nomenclature
