Tip: To optimise the battery capacity, fully charge the

shaver and then use it normally until the battery is

completely empty. Repeat this process three times in a

row. If you optimise the battery capacity in this way, you

can also charge the shaver in between shaves, even if

the battery is not completely empty yet.

shaves.

If you have a heavy beard, the shaver may provide

less than 17 cordless shaves. The shaving time may

also vary over time, depending on your shaving

behaviour, cleaning habits and beard type.
