How do I connect my shaver and smartphone

Note: Make sure your smartphone is equipped with Bluetooth^® 4.2 or higher.
This shaver is equipped with Bluetooth^® 4.2 and higher to connect to the app. When you have paired your shaver and smartphone, Bluetooth on your shaver is switched on automatically, even when the shaver is switched off. This allows your shave data to be synced later so you don't need to take your smartphone with you when you shave. The first few times you switch on the shaver, the notification symbol flashes if no connection is established with a smartphone.

You can switch off Bluetooth on your shaver by activating the travel lock (see 'Storage and travel').

Shaving

1. Switch on the product.
2. Move the shaving heads over your skin in circular movements to catch all hairs growing in different directions. Make sure each shaving head is fully in contact with the skin. Exert gentle pressure for a close, comfortable shave.
   
   Note: Do not press too hard, as this can cause skin irritation.
   Note: If you are shaving with gel or foam, rinse the shaving unit regularly during your shave to ensure that it continues to glide smoothly over your skin.
   
3. Use the narrow sides of the shaving unit to shave in hard-to-reach areas such as along your jawline and under your nose.
   
4. Switch off and clean the product after each use.
   Note: Make sure you rinse all foam or shaving gel off the product.

   • When your shaving motion can be improved, the Motion Control sensor icon lights up orange. See the app for details and advice.

21-Day adaptation process

• 21 Day Trial and Conversion Process. It is a fact that your skin and beard need time to adjust to a new grooming system.
• Use your new shaver exclusively for 3 weeks to fully enjoy the closeness of a Philips Norelco shave.
• 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 shaver.
• 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.

Cleaning reminder

When you switch off the product, the cleaning reminder flashes to remind you to clean the product.

2. Slide the comb straight into the guiding grooves on both sides of the beard styler attachment.
   
3. Press the length selector and then push it to the left or right to select the desired hair length setting.

5. Switch off the product and clean the attachment after use.

Dried nasal mucus can block the cutting element, preventing the product from switching on. If the cutting element is blocked, clean the attachment (see 'How do I clean my shaver?').

1. Switch on the product.
2. Slowly move the trimming head along the rim of the ear to remove hairs that stick out beyond the rim.
