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. The following is the sym-
bol of Wet shaver. The symbol means
that hand-held part may be used in
a bath or shower.
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.

Charging
Connect the power cord to the
shaver, and plug the adaptor into an
AC outlet. (see fig. 1 (A))
The shaver will be adjusted automati-
cally to voltages between 100-240V
AC.
In some areas, a special plug adap-
tor may be required.
• When charging the shaver for the
first time or when it has not been in
use for more than 6 months, the
plug symbol and backlight of LCD
display (ES8164) or charge status
lamp (ES8162) may not illuminate
for a few minutes after operation.
These lights will eventually illumi-
nate if kept connected.
Adequate ambient temperature for
charging is between 15 to 35 °C.
• If it is far below or over the appro-
priate temperature, the charging
time may be extended, or the adap-
tor may not function.
• In particular, low temperature may
shorten the life span of the re-
chargeable battery. In this case, the
backlight of LCD display (ES8164)
or charge status lamp (ES8162)
blinks twice in 1 second.
