CHARGING  
Battery performance is best if you recharge only when  
the batteries are (almost) completely empty.  
Charging or recharging at temperatures below 40ºF or  
higher than 95ºF adversely affects lifetime of batteries.  
Continuously recharging will reduce life of batteries.  
If razor has not been used for at least 1 month, razor  
must be recharged for a full 24 hours.  
Do not charge razor in pouch (model 4601X only).

PUT IT TO THE TEST & SHAVING TIPS  
21 Day Trial and Conversion process. It is a fact that your  
skin and beard need time to adjust to a new shaving system.  
Use your new razor exclusively for 3 weeks to fully enjoy  
the closeness of a 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 razor.  
* Stick with it! If you alternate shaving methods during  
the adjustment period, it may make it more difficult to  
adapt to the Norelco shaving system.  
If you are still not convinced after 21 days, Norelco will  
refund you the full purchase price, guaranteed.  
HOW TO SHAVE W ITH AN ELECTRIC RAZO R  
Shaving with dry skin gives the best results.

Turn razor ON by locking the switch to the ONposition.  
Shave against the direction of beard growth using both  
straight and circular movements.  
Stretch your skin with your free hand so blades can lift  
and cut whiskers. Gently press razor to skin, so the  
floating heads can follow the contours of your face. DO  
NOT press too hard. Too much pressure can pinch the  
skin into combs.
