2 Preparation
2.1 Charging process
The appliance is not yet ready for use in battery mode when delivered. However,
you can immediately use the appliance in cable mode (See "Cable mode" on
page 10.).
Before first use (without cable), the appliance should be charged for 3.5 hours.
"Overcharging" the appliance is not possible.
NOTE:
If you are also using an older model alongside the new Wella Professionals Xpert
in your salon:
– You can also charge the new appliance in the older battery charger. However,
the charging time then increases by approx. 20 minutes.
– You can also charge the older appliance in the new charger. This however
does not shorten the charging time.
1. Image A: before charging for the first time, remove the battery charger 8 from
the comb attachment holder 9.
2. Check whether the mains voltage agrees with the voltage specified on the type
plate (on the plug-in power supply device 10).
3. Image B: plug the connector cable 11 into the battery charger and the plug-in
power supply device 10 into a power socket.
4. Position the battery charger on an even surface.
5. Place the appliance onto the battery charger.
NOTE: you can also charge the appliance by connecting the power cable directly
to the appliance (See "Cable mode" on page 10.).
Image C: the charge status display 6 shows the charge status. You can identify
the charge status from the segments of the charge status display:
a) The battery is empty and must be recharged.
b) More segments being displayed corresponds to the battery having more
charge.
c) Battery is fully charged.

3 Operation
3.1 Operation lock
On delivery the appliance is protected against accidental switching on. You can
also switch on this operation lock, e. g. if you want to transport the appliance.
Disabling the operation lock:
• Place the appliance in the connected battery charger 8 or connect it with the
connector cable.
The charge status display 6 flashes initially and then lights up permanently. The
operation lock is disabled.
Enabling the operation lock:
1. Use the On/Off button 3 to switch the appliance on.
2. Press the On/Off button 3 again and hold for approx. 4 seconds, until the
charge status display 6 goes off. Using the On/Off button now does not have
any effect.
3.2 Cable mode
If required, you can also use the appliance with a cable.
1. Pull out the plug of the connector cable 11 from the battery charger 8 and stick
it directly into the appliance.
2. Image F: insert the plug-in power supply device 10 into a power socket.
