To Trim
To use the Easy-View
®
pop-up trimmer, simply
push the trimmer button
up. The trimmer will pop-
up for use. Hold the
shaver as shown in the illustration. To
conserve battery energy (on rechargeable
shavers only), it is recommended to use the
trimmer only when needed for trimming.
When through using, push the trimmer
button downward to lock into the off
position.
Trim Sideburns
Simply touch the comb-
edge of the trimmer to
the desired line for neat,
clean sideburns.
Trim Mustache
Hold shaver at desired
trim line for a quick, easy,
professional trim. The
trimmer can also be used
to trim the upper edge of
your mustache.
■ Always keep the protective head guard
on the cutter head and keep the trimmer
in the “off”position when the shaver is
not in use. The head guard must be put
on with the rear tab to the back of the
shaver.
For a Better Shave…
To help maximize your shaver’s perform-
ance, consider using the Remington
®
Pre-Shave Powder Stick (SP-5). Just
rub over your beard. It absorbs moisture
and facial oils, helping set up the hairs so
they enter the cutting chamber more easily.
It makes shaving quicker and more
comfortable.
Getting a Close, Comfortable Shave
Congratulations on your purchase of
a premium Remington
®
shaver. The

®

Titanium Shaving Technology.
Removing the Headguard
Before operating your shaver, remove the
headguard, which protects the screen and
cutter assembly. It is important to remove
the headguard correctly to avoid damaging
the clips that hold it to the shaver.
1. Press lightly on the top of the headguard.
2. Lift the lower rear edge.
3. Pull the headguard away from the
shaver.
! Always keep the protective head guard on
the shaver head and keep the trimmer in the
OFF position when the shaver is not in use.
ON/OFF Switch
To activate the shaver, press in the locking
bar while pushing the power button up.
Charging the R-842, R-843,
and R-845
Before using your shaver for the first time,
put it on charge for 24 hours.
To charge your shaver:
■ Slide the power button downward to the
OFF position.
■ Connect the supplied AC power cord to
the shaver’s power port and then to an
electrical outlet.
■ Your shaver cannot be overcharged, so
you can leave it plugged in and charging
between shaves.
Always use a clean, dry
shaver. Make sure that
the cutter head assembly
is in the locked position.
Wait at least 15 minutes
after getting up before
shaving, to ensure the
face is free of puffiness
that may be present from
sleeping.
Make sure your face is
clean and dry before
starting.
To Shave
Push the on/off button to
activate the shaver for
shaving.
The MicroFlex
®
needs no
adjustments to the heads
or cutters before you
shave. The floating heads
will automatically adjust
to the contours of your
face. It is not necessary
to apply pressure while shaving let the
shaver glide lightly on your skin. This gentle
touch makes shaving easier and helps
avoid possible skin irritation.
Use short, circular strokes.
Use your free hand to
stretch your skin. This
encourages your whiskers
to stand out, making it
easier for them to enter
the cutting chamber.

How To Use
■ To preserve the life of the batteries,
allow them to fully discharge every six
months, then recharge them for 24
hours.
! Rechargeable shavers like the R-842,
R-843, and R-845 are designed for cord-
less operation only. Plugging them in will
not provide the power to shave.

Adjusting to your new shaver
As with every shaver, your shave will
improve over time. So allow about three
weeks to develop an effective shaving style
and for your beard to adjust to the new
shaver. The adaptation period may take a
little longer if your skin is sensitive, or if
you alternate between shaving methods.

It’s simple to get a great shave from your
new shaver. Here are a few tips for getting
