Before use
This Wet/Dry shaver can be used for
wet shaving with shaving lather or for
dry shaving. You can use this water-
tight shaver in the shower and clean
it in water. Treat yourself to wet lather
shaves for at least three weeks and
notice the difference. Your Panasonic
Wet/Dry shaver requires a little time
to get used to because your skin and
beard need about a month to adjust
to any new shaving method.

Replacing batteries
Before replacing the battery, wipe the
shaver free of moisture to prevent the
inside from getting wet.
1. Turn the battery cover release dial
and remove the battery cover.
(Turn the dial to 90° in the coun-
ter clockwise direction and re-
move the battery cover.) (fig.2A)
2. Insert two “AA” alkaline batteries
as shown in the figure. Make sure
that their polarity matches that
indicated behind the shaver main
body (fig.2B). If the batteries are
not inserted properly, the shaver
will not operate. Do not mix a new
battery with an old one. Always
replace with 2 new fresh batter-
ies.
3. Replace the battery cover with
the dial mark at open. Check for
proper sealing of the water-proof-
ing ring.
4. After replacing the battery cover
to the main unit, turn the dial mark
to close. (fig. 2C)
Using your shaver
Remove the protective cap and slide
the On/Off switch upward to turn the
shaver on. Hold the shaver at a right
angle (90°) to your skin (see fig. 3).
Start out shaving by applying gentle
pressure to your face. Stretch your
skin with your free hand and move
the shaver back and forth in the di-
rection of your beard. You may gen-
tly increase the amount of pressure
as your skin becomes accustomed
to this shaver. Applying excessive
pressure does not provide a closer
shave.
For wet shaving
Put a thin layer of shaving foam on
your face which works as lubricator.
Shaving foam is the most suitable
among many other shaving aids (gel,
soap, cream, etc). Do not put a thick
layer of shaving foam as it may af-
fect the shaver’s performance. If the
