First use and Charging
Connect the appliance to an electrical outlet by snapping the special cord set (10) into
the power socket of the shaver (9) or the charging stand (11).
Basic operating information
• A full charge provides up to 50 minutes of cordless shaving time. This may vary
according to your beard growth and environmental temperature.
• Recommended ambient temperature for charging is 5 °C to 35 °C. The battery may
not charge properly or at all under extreme low or high temperatures. Recommended
ambient temperature for storage and shaving is 15 °C to 35 °C.
• Do not expose the appliance to temperatures higher than 50 °C for extended periods
of time.
• When the shaver will be connected to an electrical outlet, it may take some minutes
until the display illuminates.
Charging / low charge
The charge status is shown in the shaver display (5).
• During charging the respective charging segment (5b) will blink.
• When the shaver is fully charged and connected to an electrical outlet, all 3 charging
segments will light up for a few seconds. Then the display turns off.
• The battery symbol (5c) will flash red, when the battery is running low. You should be
able to finish your shave. With switching off the shaver a beep sound reminds of the
low charge status.
Using the shaver
Press the on/off switch (4) to operate the shaver.
Tips for a perfect dry shave
For best results, Braun recommends you to follow 3 simple steps:
1. Always shave before washing your face.
2. At all times, hold the shaver at the right angle (90°) to your skin.
3. Stretch your skin and shave against the direction of your beard growth.
