To Charge (Models R-842, R-845,R-850)
MODEL R-850 has a red low-battery indicator
to show when shaver needs recharging. This also
indicates approximately 5 to 6 minutes of shaving
time left when indicator first comes on. Prior to
using your shaver for the first time, put it on
charge for 24 hours. To charge your shaver:
• Slide the On/Off Button to the “Off” position.
• Connect the cord to the shaver and then to
the electric outlet. The Charging Indicator light
will glow green, indicating your shaver is charging.
• Your shaver cannot be overcharged, so you can
leave it plugged in and charging between shaves.
• Use only the cord supplied with shaver. The
R-842 and R-845 are designed for cordless opera-
tion only. Plugging in the cord will not provide the
power to shave. The R-850, on the other hand,
comes with a special feature that allows you to
shave while your shaver is plugged in. Just follow
the steps above to plug in the cord. Turn on the
shaver by pressing on the Locking Bar and sliding
the On/Off Button upward. Your shaver will not
recharge while you are shaving, so after shaving,
leave it plugged in so it can be recharged.
